Not pathetic at all! That sounds like it would kick my ass too.
Just say No Greenie! Its not worth it.
ps. This is said coming from a girl who ate an insane amount of granola last night. GRANOLA?! Seriously? I can’t even binge properly (I’m not condoning binging btw).

Just some tips… make sure you are eating every 2-3 hrs, decent-sized meals so you don’t get any kind of hunger that makes you want to pig out. Also, have a cheat meal once a week so you can look forward to that and not be guilty about it, instead of eating candy.
plan those meals so you don’t fall into the junk so easily. Look reciped on the web some tasty good stuff. It’s hard to get exited about the good food when you don’t know how to prep it.
Congratulations on your graduation! You must be so excited to move on to the next stage of your life!
Good job on getting some bodyweight exercises in - I’m sure between work and moving, you’ve got a lot on your plate.

How do they expect that to work?
Masch, granola is a totally legitimate binge food… soooo goooood.
OK, so first day at a real gym. Was very excited. Did actual bench presses, just the bar, but it was fun. My right arm is definitely stronger than my left arm. Did some abs, wide grip pulldowns, leg curls, leg presses.
I told IH that I wanted to learn something new today, or at least the proper way to do something I already sort of know how to do. So we did bench presses. It was great having someone show me and correct me when I needed it. I think it worked great having him do the exercises, then me, so he could help critique my form.
I had an awesome time, though I’m not sure IH believes that. LOL
Tomorrow I will have definite reps and sets for anything we do.
YAAAAY!!! The love fest in the new love nest! How exciting.
Love that you’re excited about the new gym, about learning new things, and that you got some good form critique. This is all great news Greenie. Congrats!
Very exciting! IH said that my form was pretty good but I do have an imbalance and I need to concentrate on pulling my left shoulder back b/c it tends to hunch foward. This is possibly because my shoulders are at different heights.
Did some other stuff of course, including 10 mins on the treadmill.
We don’t really have a plan yet, so we kind of do a full body workout, trying to hit everything. I didn’t feel any pain or DOMS from yesterday, but I’m already feeling soreness from today and I love it. It’s a good soreness.
