i think i'm going to take this week off from lifting. college is taking up a lot of time, obviously and i need to get a better handle on my academic and extracurricular activities so i can set concrete times to go work out.

i'll try to be around here more, but i barely have time to relax, let alone post on forums. it's insane.

Seems like I've been gone forever. Anyway, the end of the week and weekend were pretty crazy. I had an awesome weekend with lots of fun things to do on campus.

This week, it's back to the gym. I am in the swing of things, more in the swing of things anyway, and am ready to give this another try. I might have to cut back on going to the gym though depending on homework and activities. I don't want to, but we'll see.

I didn't anything to do but walk to and from classes. I was, and still am, exhausted. I've only been getting 5-6 hours of sleep a night and don't have time to take a nap due to all the homework I seem to never stop doing.

I think I'm going to take tomorrow off as well. Give my body a chance to recover from the shock of all the walking all of a sudden. My legs were dead on Wednesday.

days only half over and i've walked a little over two miles to and from classes already. my legs are dead tired from all the walking up and down hills not to mention my regular workout. i don't think i'm going to do a seperate cardio workout. walking is enough leg movement, espeically up and down four flights of stairs, when added to my leg routine.

I also had to carry two heavy boxes out to the car since I"ll be moving into college on Saturday. It it going to be VERY interesting carrying them up FOUR flights of stairs. My foster dad is on crutches so can't help, AT ALL. Glad I've been lifting this summer, I just hope it's enough.

Changing up the routine again. Put the reps back up to 20 and decreased the weight a little for today and hoping to increase the weight on Wednesday as well as use the Smith instead of the cable for the calf raises.

First time I didn't the 45° Leg Press and it was okay. It will take some getting used to. Starting out light so in case my legs give out I won't be flattened like a pancake.

I finally bought straps to help me with the calf raises so that made the bar a little easier to hold to.
