Swollen Second Week

First week of training was amazing. Getting the feeling back in the gym and eating healthy felt amazing. I had more energy then I have had in months. The draw back was finding the time to both get to the gym and cook healthy. I ended up getting behind in some reading for college.

The second week I thought I may be able to manage my time a bit better now that I was getting back in the grove. Another problem was raised. My daughters school was cancelled due to negative weather. This made another challenge for me. I was able to eat healthy without a problem but was not able to get to the gym due to no sitter.

Toward the middle of this week I was able to get back into the gym again. Found a easier way to get my food packed for the day, and things were going smoothly until yesterday.

Yesterday I was having an extremely good pump doing shoulders. Pumped as much blood into my shoulders as I could to spark growth. I was high on the lift until another problem came forth. I was pulling weight off of the rack for my next set of behind the neck shoulders presses when I didn't notice someone placed a 25 lb plate over a 45 lb weight. Next thing I knew I was in extreme pain. The 25 lb weight dropped right onto my big toe from about three feet up.

 
The swollen toe!
 
On a more positive not the shoulder workout yesterday was amazing until the accident.
 
 
If you're a beginner and need to see some sample exercise I suggest checking out these shoulder workouts. When doing rear delts try super setting a few exercise for high reps to get the blood pumped into them as much as possible. The pump is great!
 
I am going to give today a go in the gym and hope I am able to lift without putting to much pressure on my toe.

The Beginning!

About a year ago I was in the best shape of my life...For one reason or another I lost focus and stopped training. I will now attempt to get back on the right path with my training and eating properly over the next 13 weeks. Check in throughout this time for my routines and progress pictures.

I will be posting my progress several times a week and any advice is always welcome!

Next entry will include a beginning picture to compare when the 13 weeks are over.

Well it has been awhile but finally here are my starting pictures.
