Second trip to the weight room

It's Valentine's Day...and I just got out of the weight room.

Tuesdays are long for me. Thanks to my commute I leave home at 8:30am and return around 9:30pm. I have two classes in the morning followed by a six hour long break, then a night class. Here in a few weeks my personal fitness class will end so I'll have a seven hour long break. I spend the afternoons working out when my fitness class isn't hard enough, studying, and lounging.

Today in my fitness class we talked about nutrition instead of working out. It was all very basic stuff, such as how much fiber you should have in a day (25-35g), how big a serving of meat is (similar to a deck of cards), and why vitamin D is important (helps your bones absorb calcium). So afterward I went to the weight room.

I was still pretty scared and unsure of what I was doing but this time didn't have my teacher to cling to. I started off with an easy 7:40 mile on the track before heading upstairs. I did 3 x 12 leg curls with 40 lb weights, 3 x 20 calf raises with 15 lb weights, 15 lunges with 15 lb weights, and a progression of squats. I started with just the bar, then added 10 lb, then added another 20 lb. I wanted to try the deadlift today but chickened out. I'll definitely get it next time.

Later tonight my boyfriend and I will celebrate Valentine's Day. He's going to make spaghetti dinner and he has a gift for me, presumably roses.
