build more muscle

Well, my arms & shoulders are looking good. I have been slowly adding legs to my routine. i am doing some pushups now to work my chest and new ab exercises also. i am a total gym phobe so i do all my stuff at home. i recently bought a chin up bar. Not so good at the chin ups but hopefully one day i can do more than 1.

i weigh about 150 (again) but i measured my waist and i think it is an inch smaller than it was the last time i weighed 150.

well i worked out Sunday. I did my full routine, and i was pretty sore on monday. Its amazing how little time it takes to start getting out of shape. I worked out again today but only made it a little more than half way through. I’m pretty confident that I should be able to do the whole routine thurs.

I just went on a ten day vacation so i havent lifted any weights for about 2 weeks (things were a little hectic before i left in preperation for christmas & my trip) I just got back 2 days ago and had to go to the urgent care yesterday for my asthma. I really wanted to lift today, but the doctor said the medications i am on can actually decrease my immune system. I also only got about 2 hrs of sleep last night, (also a side effect of the meds) so i think it’s probably in my best intrest 2 wait at least 4-5 more days because i will be on breathing treatments for the next 10. I don’t want to get bronchitis cause then i could be down for a month. I actually miss lifting though and i don’t want to lose that motivation. Damn this asthma!

well, i have been doing my routine on a consistant basis now. I have only missed 1 work out in the past 5 weeks. I am a little worried that my form may be off. I am now trying to work out in front of the mirror so i can see how I am doing.

I don’t want to be a body builder or anything. I just want more definition. I have increased my dumbells 3 more pounds, and can do my whole normal set now after only 3 weeks. (1 1/2 hrs 3 days a week.) I feel tired now after my work out, when I didn’t before. I hope its working, need to do some cardio too.
