So in honor of my birthday, I'm making some changes for the better. Better eating habits, more running, and strength training are on the agenda and I couldn't be happier about the prospect of a new and improved me.
Today I started things off right, doing 30 bench press lifts at half my body weight, 30 curls, 20 butterfly lifts at 10 lbs, and 20 forward arm extensions at 10 lbs. then I hit the trails near my home and ran 3.25 miles followed by a .75 mile uphill climb/walk along a very steep trail. I followed that up with the first of my new nightly sets of sit-ups...I plan to do 50 every night before bed. Today I'm breaking it up into 25 before dinner and 25 before bed given that it's Sunday and I have a little wiggle room in my schedule.
Here's looking at a new year in my life!
