Anzels' 2016/2017 ongoing log.

Thursday
Today's training was just a way to get back into things.
23min cardio. Slow.
And an all body workout on machines. Literally just hopped from one to the next. And did anywhere from 15 to 30 reps.
I did notice are started feeling really good. Working and moving muscles. I noticed alot of tension leaVing my body.
But then I hit a wall and just felt lethargic! It was so strange. Idk but I guess I just have to keep going back and I will get myself back in good form.

Diet is still shaky. Mostly good all day and then after dinner I turn into a bottomless pit.

Donated blood today. BP was 117/80. During the last few weeks my BP was 135/88 or even 140/90. Stress and anxiety are killers!
 
Monday.
30 min cardio
2 sets of bis and 2 sets of tris. Then I got a phone call that was very important which caused me to run out of time then had to go. Oh well.
Diet is getting better. And I'm feeling that fire under my ass that's makes me go.
Is good ya

My BP has been great and stress is so low I feel good again. Training is starting to to fall back into place along with my diet. Last night was the first time in probably 2 or even 3 months where I didnt binge attack . I didnt even touch PB and there is dark chocolate in the house and I stayed away. Ate my yogurt and went to bed early. My life was upside down for a while but its right again and I am feeling more positive and motivated.

Diet is improving. I eat less during the day and the eat a big dinner often going for 2nds and snacking afterward.
Seems to be working.

did some BW standing calf raise in between sets, also did 5 min of jump jacks at the end to just keep the calorie burn going and zap the calves some more...my calves are so stubborn . Time for implants lol!

I had to lower some weight cause this routine just fries the worked muscle with the higher volume and Supersets (SS) i wasnt really getting the optimal reps and that nice squeeze to really work the mu8scle. the weight looks funny ,so light but hell it feels right!
 
Do you do 4-5 muscle groups every workout? Sometimes I feel like when i do 2 i'm not getting each muscle the attention it requires.
