Day 3 - Shoulders & Arms

I am SO sore today!! My legs, back, abs, and chest are all sore...but in a good way. What's killing me still is my triceps. I obviously WAY overworked them or - more likely - pulled them pretty bad. I noticed in the mirrow today that there's swelling and light red bruises around my elbows...which explains why I can't fully bend my arms. Last time I started working out this same thing happened, though, so I'm not really worried.

To make matters worse, today was the Shoulders and Arms workout. It's basically 4 sets (then a bonus set if you're in shape for it) of 2 reps of 3 exercises (shoulders, biceps, triceps). I didn't do the bonus set...I felt pretty good to just get through the primary ones. My arms are still so sore that I really couldn't do much weight, but I still felt pretty good about it.

Ab Ripper X, once again, kicked my butt. I made it one or two exercises further into it than I did last time, though, so there's some improvement.

Today was pretty tough to follow the diet. It's weird, though, the problem isn't that I'm eating bad stuff, the problem is eating ENOUGH. I kinda feel like all day today I was just preparing for my next meal. Part of the problem, was that I slept in until about 10:00 today...I only ended up having 2 meals (and 2 snacks) instead of the desired 3 meals, but I wasn't ever really even hungry.

We'll see how eating goes tomorrow...
