Fitness Check In

Day 4
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Last rest day before I exercise again. My muscles aren’t feeling sore anymore and I’m back to full strength.
 
Day # 2
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
I completed a single daily repetition of all of the stretches my doctor suggested. Still no pain and I was able to bring my knees closer to my body today.
 
Day 5
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Went and exercised for awhile. Worked on my upper body today by using both machines and weights. Now my arms are sore, but it was worth it.
 
Day # 3
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
I forgot to do my stretches yesterday, so we'll call it a rest day.

Day # 4
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
I completed two repetitions of all of the stretches my doctor suggested. Still no pain and it felt good to stretch out my back so I made the executive decision to double up after missing a day yesterday.
 
Day 6-7:
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Double rest day until I exercise again tomorrow. My arms are starting to feel better. Did a couple stretches and had a plant-based protein shake.
 
Day # 5
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
I completed a single daily repetition of all of the stretches my doctor suggested. I go back to the doctor tomorrow and will ask about increasing this since it seems to help and causes me no pain.
 
Day 8
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Did leg day and got a lot accomplished. Now I’m sore all over, but that’s fine because it means I’m getting stronger. 😤
 
Day #34
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
30 minutes on elliptical. Made it through the first 21 "steps" on Aerobic 3. 16 5lb Romanian deadlifts.

Well between the holidays and being sick, I decided to just take the weekend off. Again, I powered through to get back to where I should have been though. Meant to post this yesterday because it was done yesterday, but I got busy.
 
Day #35
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
30 minutes on elliptical. Made it through the first 23 "steps" on Aerobic 3.

I had a wonky day and I was midway through the workout before I remembered that I hadn't eaten anything at all. Oops.
 
Went to the gym today. Pushed myself as hard as I usually do.
I'm really looking forward to the gains I'm going to achieve, and wish I could get there faster.
I wanna be a fitness goddess.
 
Day # 8
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
I completed two full repetitions of all of the stretches my doctor suggested. I did them both late tonight, but I think it's better when I spread them out so I'll keep that in mind going forward. I just got really busy with work today and didn't think about doing them until later.
 
Days 9-11
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Triple rest day as both my legs and arms were sore, and I was dealing with a lot. I’ll be going back to the gym tomorrow to exercise again.
 
Day # 9
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
I completed two full repetitions of all of the stretches my doctor suggested. This time I did one set during my morning break and the second set at night.
 
Day 105-110
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Rest week. Got busy, sick, and lazy. Not necessary in that order and most of the time a combination of all three.
Day 111
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
I didn't have to deviate so much from normal since I only took a weekish off instead of a few months. Had to do a few less reps but that's ok. Got to get back on a horse and continue the journey instead of thinking of it as "starting over".
Full plank - 1 set of 3 (45s). Plank to elbow 1 set of 3 (45s). I did give up on the last few seconds of these.
Dumbbell bench press - 3 sets of 15 (30lb). Dumbbell shoulder press - 3 sets of 9 (30lb). Reverse crunches - 3 sets of 20. Standing skull crushers 3 sets of 10 (15lb). Body weight half squats - 3 sets of 10
 
Day 12
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Worked on upper body and my arms today using machines and weights. Had a protein shake and some mashed potatoes afterwards.
 
Day 112
Workout/Rest Day Summary:

Reverse crunches 3 sets of 10
Walking lunges 3 sets of8 reps (30lb).
Did some stretching today for hamstring and hip flexors.
