Woke up this morning and was surprised to find that I really wasn't that sore at all. I should have known better though and that it was only a matter of time before the DOMS(Delayed Onset Muscle Syndrome) started setting in. As the day went by I began to notice my abs tightening up a little bit more every time I laughed and could feel my abs, glutes and hamstrings cry out a little more each time I sat down or stood up. Not gonna let that slow me down though. Just have to keep stretching and keep the blood flowing to my aching muscles. No pain, no gain.
Since this is only my first week back, I'm only working out 3 days this week and today was an off day. No need to overdo it the first week out, and proper rest and recovery are a big part of getting the results that you want. Another big part of getting the results you want is proper diet and nutrition, so I knew I needed to get my eating down right away and needed to get Kevin to do my body composition and put together a meal plan for me. Now it's been quite awhile since I checked my bodyfat, and was kinda dreading it, but I needed to know what I was starting with in order to set my goals. Can't keep reminiscing about my days of 9% bodyfat; I need to start working to get back there. After Kevin was done pulling my leg and trying to convince me that I was 37% bodyfat, the final numbers were:
Weight: 274 lbs
Bodyfat: 21.2%
Lean weight: 215.8 lbs
Fat weight: 58.1 lbs
A good ways away from calendars and swimwear shoots of days gone by but I've been worse and this is just the starting point. I'm gonna go buy myself a bright red speedo this weekend for my after pictures lol
I know my soreness is only going to get worse tomorrow and my Star Max Elite workout with Kevin is going to be rough but I'm focused right now, so stay tuned for tomorrow's results.
