Like James Brown says.."HIT it and quit"

So today was my first day of full body HIT and boy did my eyes get opened.

I began the day thinking of what I could use to replace the dang Sweet-tarts with (yuck yuck) cause I firmly believe that they spiked my insulin WAY too high the other day (I had terribly dry mouth and throat which I know is a sign of high BS)....So I ended up opting for watermelon, the fruit that by a lot of lists I ran across, that seems to be the Highest GI fruit....WHOOO HOOO. (I rode my bike to get it-This is the ROLL part :))

So I walked to the gym with 2 C of diced up watermelon in a baggie in my purse. (this is the BOUNCE part) I was ready to conquer the weights!

(Now, this is the ROCK part)- I cranked up my Genitorturers and Five Finger Death Punch and went upstairs...I did my upper body...everything was going well....I was ASTOUNDED at the strength I have now as opposed to the strength that I had years ago....It's either I have more strength or my idea of failure has matured and I am totally pushing it....Either way, I was lifting the same weight as I did years ago after doing it for 3 months straight.

Everything was going perfectly well until I grabbed the 25lb dumb bell to do my over head tri-ceps.....It was all good until I made it to fai lure and THEN had to lift the dumb thing over my head to place it ba(ck on the floor....OOOSH!!!!!!! SCARY! (I forgot that back in the day my ex was always with me and spotting me....what a thing to forget!!!!)

My heart was racing as I made my way to the other side of the gym to do my lower body....I grabbed the 50lb barbell ('cause the 40lb was too light the other day) on the way and went to my little corner to do my thang.

I lifted the barbell over my head and on to my shoulders and did my first set of 10.....Whew that felt good.....I lifted the barbell back over my head and thought...hmmmmm that wasn't too easy....Then, I waited my 30 secs and pulled it back over my shoulders and did my failure set....I mad it to 14....I wanted to keep going but I just couldn't..........Then I began to pull the thing back over and I almost lost my grip on it........OMG! TOOOOOOOOOO SCARY!!!

(Note to self, USE SMITH MACHINE( ONLY ONLY ) W/HEAVY WEIGHTS ESPECIALLY AFTER A BIG UPPER BODY WORKOUT YA' DUMMY!!!!)

My heart was about to beat outta my chest and my hands were shakin' like a leaf..........It was all I could do not to pack it all in.

I didn't though....I got in my leg lifts and then calf raises with the carriage only.

Then....like James Brown said, I HIT it..(and then) I quit....I went to the locker room...got my watermelon and allowed myself the time to cool down as I walked at a much slower pace than my usual going home....I walked in and promptly downed 1.5 serv of my protein shake...Meal #2 done!

This was my w/o for my first day..It will be similar most of the time...except adding in different exercises or upping weight.

I totally noticed the left side of my body is much weaker than the right....gotta work on that somehow.
