Thank you Marc for your blog today on weight lifting.  Today is normally my “strictly strength” class which is a resistance training class but only uses light dumbbells, a weighted bar, and resistance bands.  So I got to the gym early tonight and hoped on the treadmill for a quick 15 minutes.  While I was walking (I didn’t have my mp3 player) I remembered Marc’s blog and was inspired.  Since getting back at it I’ve avoided the weights and focused on cardio. So I hit the weights and it felt awesome!!!!  I did a full body workout of 2 sets of 12-15 reps…..inc chest press, flys, seated rows, leg press, leg extension, seated leg curl, calf raises, abductor and aductor, torso twists, shoulder press, lat raises, rear delt, tricep extensions, bicep curls.  I finished it up with another 15 min on the treadmill.  Amazing what a change can do to help my mood.  Came home and made a salad of romaine, yellow tomato, avocado, and grilled chicken breast….yummy!  Overall a win win day!
