Yesterday, I was thinking whether I'd actually go to the gym today since I was feeling really sore. Surprisingly, I was feeling a lot better than I'd expected so I went for it. It was a pretty good workout and there weren't too many people so I got to do everything I wanted.
Today's results:
Workout A
Squats: 3 sets x 5 reps at 185 lbs
Deadlift: 1 set x 5 reps at 135 lbs
Bench Press: 3 sets x 5 reps at 135 lbs
Dips: 2 sets x 5 reps at bodyweight
Situps: 3 sets x 10 reps at bodyweight
Cardio: 4 laps
I'm definitely starting to get back into it. Hopefully I can start adding some weight after the weekend!

Day 2
Didn't end up running yesterday on a friend's advice, plus I had to go grocery shopping anyway. Today's workout went pretty well I think. Managed to do almost all the exercises, Even fit in a jog and stretch afterwards.
Today's results:
Workout B
Assisted Pull-Ups: 3 x 5 at Assist level 8 (50%)
Squats: 3 sets x 5 reps at 185 lbs
Military Press: 2.5 x sets x 3 reps at 95 lbs
Barbell row: 3 sets x 5 reps at 95 lbs
Situps: N/A
Cardio: 3 laps
I think I'll have to drop some weight from military press, but feeling much better today!

Back at the gym
Yup. Signed up at the school gym today. After the workout, I felt like I was about to die. However, all that means is that I really do need to continue. I tried to do a full workout but it was just too much to handle after being inactive for over a year. Hopefully, I can find it in myself to do cardio tomorrow!

Workout A
Squats - 3 sets x 5 reps at 185 lbs
Dead Lift - 1 set x 5 reps at 115 lbs
Bench Press - 2.5 sets x 5 reps at 135 lbs
Dips - 1.5 sets x 10 at bodyweight
Situps - N/A
Cardio - N/A

Starting Anew
So I'm going to try and give blogging another try in this age of twitter and facebook. Hopefully, I'll prove to myself that I can keep a schedule. In the past, I haven't even been able to take my medicine on time and ended up not taking it at all.
It's been a hectic couple of months. Due to some family circumstances, I took my 2nd year of university part time and worked full time instead. So June's approaching and I totally hate my job (night shifts at Tim Hortons). I get the great idea that I'll quit first and find a job later, because the grocery store near my house is always hiring. Big mistake. Due to some petty argument with my dad, he ends up kicking me out of the house around the end of June. He tells me I have until he gets back to leave the house, so I call up some friends and ask if they can help me move my stuff out. About an hour or two later, I'm packed up and ready to go. But where am I supposed to go? My best friend since grade 5 says I can stay at his place at least for the night. After some negotiation, it's agreed that I can stay at my friend's place for July and hopefully find a job during that time. Well, we all know what happens when you stay with a friend and you're both free most of the time, especially in the summer.
A beach trip and many other outings later, August is approaching fast. Obviously, I didn't find a job (To be fair, I did look and submit apps for a week, but in July the chances were pretty slim). The end of July has arrived and my friend's parents are gone for the long weekend. I'm pretty much packed up and have everything loaded into the van. As I'm about to leave, he asks me if I can stay for dinner since he's already making it. Of course, I can't refuse the request. We end up making some delicious risotto with portobello mushrooms, pork chops and steak. We had plum wine and cheap chardonnay to go with the meal. After we'd finished eating, we'd had a bit to drink and decided it'd be nice to get some friends together to drink a bit more. After a trip to the convenience store for some chases and mixes, friends were over and we were set for a good time. And what a good time it was. Played lots of drinking games, had fun talks and best of all, no hangover! And so ends my time living at a friend's house for a month. Next stop, grandparents' apartment.
That's it for now. (´・ω・｀)ノシ
