I’m hope the fact it’s going down means, not that I’m not trying as hard, but that I’m taking it a bit steadier – which is more healthy.

Not as good as Monday, but I wasn’t as tired after 20 mins.

I am using the exercise bike for half an hour each night, and lifting weights with my arms for most of that time, also.

No matter what time I go to bed, I wake up very tired, and this is only better if, like today, I have a day off and I can wake up when I want. At the moment I’m having at least ten hours sleep each night, yet still sluggish – what’s up with that? I’m starting to get concerned.

I haven’t started this yet, I’ve been feeling very lethargic and drained recently. I used to lift weights (I’m only talking about dumbbells, not proper weights) every day when I woke up and when I went to bed with no trouble. But now, every time I simply look in their direction, I sigh and think ‘I’ll start next week’. I’ve first got to get my energy back on track, this is crazy.

It’s quite simple, I just let this one slip when I was feeling run down with a job, and never went back to it. But I will, just have to write down times and numbers, it’s easier to keep to if you write it down, then have something to tick off when you’re done :) Once a day is good, with different types of lifting, to stimulate different areas of the body.

it’s already coming back. love it.

i’ve been working my arms a lot. my right arm was really weak after the neck injury, but the strength has come back a lot. i’m amazed at how quickly all of that returns.

i’ve started working on this a lot at the gym. i seem to never get around to lifting at home anymore.

i leave there with shaky, weak arms. i LOVE that feeling, though.

i want the tone back in my upper arms.

i stopped lifting regularly when my neck injury got bad. it’s been about 6 months since i’ve had a regular routine. i’m scared of hurting myself again!
