Weekend update

Another headache I can't believe I haven't posted since Thursday morning. I guess I just wasn't in the blogging mood or something. Or maybe it was the headache from hell that took me down again. Saturday is a blur. All I remember doing is going to Weight Watchers, weighing in, sitting through the meeting with an excruciating headache, then heading home and back to bed. Nothing can stop these headaches when they come. Aspirin, Aleve, Tylenol doesn't phase them. All I can do is curl into a fetal position in a dark, quiet room and wait it out. Today I was fine. The headache is gone, although there's a lingering feeling of tenderness behind my eyes. Like it could come back any minute. I don't know what's up with these headaches, but I'm getting a little concerned. That was my third one in three weeks, and sometimes during the day I have a stabbing pain on the left side of my head that lasts for just a few minutes. I have my annual physical in two weeks, and I'm going to ask my doctor about it. It's just the strangest thing. I rarely get headaches and when I do, nothing like these last three. They're literally debilitating. The weigh-in Okay, enough of the headache talk. About the weigh-in. Not exactly a stunning loss, but it's a loss: Saturday 2/27/2010 Weigh-in Last week's weight:  176.6 Current weight: 175.4 Week loss: -1.2 Total loss:  -63.8 My workout Because of the headache from hell I skipped working out Saturday. I could barely stand up so working out was out of the question. However, I made up for it on Sunday. The Big Book of Exercises by Women's Health says you're only suppose to do one exercise per body part per workout. I've never heard this before, but it makes sense.I usually try to do at least two exercises per body part. For example, I always do two bicep exercises back to back, two triceps, two shoulder, two deltoids, etc. What I've noticed is that I don't do as well on the second exercise for the same body part. My form isn't as good and I struggle with the heavier weights. It also suggests not doing the same exercise for each body part during the week, to mix it up. Even changing how you hold the dumbbells makes a difference in how you work the muscle group you're focusing on. The book also says you should do 24 reps of an exercise. For example, three sets of 8, or as set of 12, 10, 8. They said more if you're up to it, but 24 was the optimum number. A a few more is okay if you're up to it, but three sets of 15, probably not a good idea (I've done that a lot). If you can do three sets of 15 then you're probably not using heavy enough weights. One thing I've learned, every author of strength training has their own opinion of what's right. They all think their way is the right waym, but none of them are written in stone. You have to figure out what works best for you. Here's the page from my exercise log for today. I planned out my workout before I got to the gym. It took me an hour and 45 minutes to complete this workout. It  was definitely one of my best workouts. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Zc060n4DMN7lXJKjig8RNZHfTorLeq5KMkyeCQpx4w9MqRafBHK2FTpN6oacpAjSkmNFTPB9y073rF4uAejkXOuKQ8V9e2SyriYiymtprlZxAj6MknwMBIJDjh_Zv9eK66yaDzwEwLwY/s1600-h/journal_cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Zc060n4DMN7lXJKjig8RNZHfTorLeq5KMkyeCQpx4w9MqRafBHK2FTpN6oacpAjSkmNFTPB9y073rF4uAejkXOuKQ8V9e2SyriYiymtprlZxAj6MknwMBIJDjh_Zv9eK66yaDzwEwLwY/s400/journal_cropped.jpg" width="270" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tulips that I bought for myself.

Just to get some fresh air, hoping it would cure my headache. It didn't, but I did get to see this gorgeous full moon. The picture doesn't do it justice. It was spectacular.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ERPMqr9GHip3HeVwiKOCnsasytAeQvXvpavk7xhpUjkV6rN2mVk8ZznkQIjyWCvHfGCnNOrO5wsa7sViuvTMQtHCY05KpfxAMNEK4Lqt2nxrptUJ_u2uOFDTe08mOfS1TLg5JOnFgbNp/s1600-h/Moon.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ERPMqr9GHip3HeVwiKOCnsasytAeQvXvpavk7xhpUjkV6rN2mVk8ZznkQIjyWCvHfGCnNOrO5wsa7sViuvTMQtHCY05KpfxAMNEK4Lqt2nxrptUJ_u2uOFDTe08mOfS1TLg5JOnFgbNp/s400/Moon.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
