At 8:00 a.m. this morning I went for a beautiful frost filled walk on the gravel roads near my house. (I live in the country) It was cold enough this morning here in Kansas that my breath frosted over and my glasses fogged up.  Plus there was frost on the car windshields! It was very beautiful! I was wishing for an MP3 player though, for some great tunes to walk to as I ground the ‘pavement’, so I may look into getting one of those for the future. I walked for about a half hour before my lungs and left calf forced me inside the house.  (I’m a smoker so cold air is harsh!) I was a bit worried at first that I’d pulled that calf muscle, but the pain worked itself out after some more stretching.  (I did stretch before I went walking) So, hopefully it was just a fluke and won’t bother me in the future.

After coming inside, as I mentioned before I did some cool down stretches.  Also I did 2 sets of bench presses with 3lb weights. 16 reps each set.  Then I did 2 sets of Chest Flies (butterflies) also with 3lb weights. 16 reps each set.  My chest huuuuuurts! Already!

I’m using this site as my guide in weight lifting. http://exercise.about.com/cs/exerciseworkouts/a/weight101_2.htm

I may need to get some 5 lbs weights, since the 3’s felt a bit light.  I’m worried about going too heavy, because I don’t want… “guy muscles”, but I do want muscles. More muscles burns more fat! I will be doing one major muscle group each day and then I hope to be able to rip off all muscle groups in one weight lifting session 3 times a week.  But, I know that if I try to do it all today, after not exercising for like… ages, I really will end up hurting myself.  So, slow but sure, and hopefully tomorrow I’m as positive as I feel today.  Especially since I know that my chest is going to hurrrrrt!

So, I hope you all have enjoyed your Halloween evenings, I didn’t do anything special myself. 

Well see ya all tomorrow!
