Daily Workout - Chest & Back

Over the past few days I did some workouts, one at my home gym doing chest using free weights, and my last workout was actually at Fitness World where I did some back with their Universal pulley machine.

Both workouts where not lengthy ones, more or less maintenance stuff. I am about to embark on a bit of a more regulated workout and eating routine, I will be logging my caloric intake and starting to do more cardio in my workouts. I hope to start this new program after the weekend.

I should be back to my old self in a bout a month or two :)

Daily Workout - Chest & Back in with Total Gym

Got some more workouts in, and it's been a busy week. I have been installing a new fridge and a new Washer and dryer. They weren't really in the plan but a deal came my way and I jumped on it. The only problem was that my fridge ended up being a bit too tall and so the upper cabinet had to come out and get converted into a shelf unit. That and the new water line for my ice machine and built water dispenser and what should have been a few hours turned into an all day job.

The next days was spent installing my washer and dryer. And of course my actual work had to get fit i somewhere in amongst all that. The joys of working at home!

I did manage to get a chest and back workout in with my Total Gym so it could have been worse I guess. Hopefully I am back to my regular routine again...

Daily Workout - Shoulders at Home Gym

 

Just catching up on my posts here. I did a Shoulders workout a few days ago but didn't have time to post it. And then the next day I had a little visit with my dentist to get two of my Wisdom teeth pulled. What fun that is, especially when my back lower teeth do not like to totally freeze. The dentist did a good job of numbing me up most of the way but I could still feel it :( And I get to go back in a few weeks to hit the other side of my mouth. The only good news about that is that I already had one of them pulled several years ago and all I have left to do is the top one which if you're a dentist, then you know it's the easier of the two wisdom teeth to pull.

I said all that because I had strict instructions from my dentist to not workout for a few days or I could start my gums bleeding again. I really haven't had much pain and I was expecting some because my dentist had to drill some of my jaw away to get the bottom wisdom tooth out. He said I have a jaw made out of steel :)
