Back on the Wagon

Talk about falling off of the wagon!

I have been seriously absent from my blog! About the time I stopped internet dating, I stopped posting. Well, folks - not only did I reactivate my OkCupid account, I have decided to breathe life into my blog as well.

I have been lifting for the past month or so. Most weeks, I have met my goal of going 3 times. I do an upper/lower split that does not take very long (25 minutes). This is a big change from my practically cardio-only approach that I did for so long. I don't know that I'm really seeing any big results/changes - but at least it's getting me doing something different and shaking things up. I am going to yoga once a week, salsa class once a week, lifting 3 times (or trying to!), and doing some other cardio after lifting - usually about 20-25 minutes twice a week. I'm going to start doing a little more lifting and a little more cardio (reintroducing running I think). It's hard for me to not do very much of it, but I've read time and time again that strength training is more beneficial in the long run.

Anyway - this is what I'm doing weights wise. The stars are next to new additions that I will be starting today.
