I got to the gym in Greenbelt around 9:15 and was worried that it would be really crowded, given the time, but it wasn’t too bad. I didn’t have to wait for any of the equipment. I don’t like the free weight room as much as the one in Pentagon City because the equipment is older and doesn’t appear to be maintained as well, but I made do.

I impressed myself on two counts: first, that I did three sets on the hammer strength at 90 lbs. I’ve never done that much on that machine before. It was tough but I felt like I was pushing myself. Second, I was surprised how easy 40 and 50 lbs felt on the pec fly. When I bumped it up to 70 lbs on the last set, it was tougher, but not as tough as I imagined. That is also a record on that machine for me.
I had planned to do 6 workouts this week, 3 cardio and 3 strength training. I ended up doing 5 workouts (2 cardio and 3 strength) and the only reason I missed one is because I was waiting for Comcast to show up Wednesday evening. I’m pretty pleased with my progress for the first week of this new routine. I feel pretty good.
So at the end of one week, I’m 5 for 6 on workouts. So far this week, I’ve drank 9.6 liters of water (about 2.5 gallons). And my weight is an even 68 kg (150 lbs).
