Day Seven and Eight


Although I am only one week in, I believe that the hardest part is over. Those initial workouts are absolutely brutal, so I am glad to be on the opposite side of them. Yesterday, I weighed myself, but I have a feeling that the scale was inaccurate, because it said that I weight 156 lbs. That means I've put on six to eight pounds since I started. A weightlifter here in the dorm said that it is totally possible, but it is likely water weight. For now, I think that is okay.

Today, I started week two, and I add two new exercises. Everything went fine, except that I was almost completely unable to do the shoulder shrugs, because they require to hold up your own body weight while shrugging your shoulders. This put a lot of strain on my wrists, and I had a lot of trouble doing this. However, I couldn't help but marvel that my muscles looked bigger. Indeed, I am making progress already, and I'm looking forward to seeing more results. I have uploaded a picture to show me after eight days. Not much noticeable difference to most people, but I am starting to recognize some change.
