Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Last week my body decided it'd rather repair itself after a cold than repair (read "build") muscles after a workout. Anything it can do to avoid the gym; bastard!

Wednesday of last week it started out with a sore throat and quickly moved into the sinuses. I stayed home sick on Thursday but tried work on Friday. The entire weekend was spent at home, though I fell asleep Saturday night around 8:30 and didn't wake up until 10:00 Sunday morning; guess I needed the sleep.

To make a long story short, today was the first time back to the gym. I figured I needed to get back sooner than later; actually did legs for the first time in a long time (since doing the stairs in the summer was such an awesome leg workout I didn’t work them in the gym much).

Also, I had originally set my body weight goal to be around 205 lbs. When I passed that, I reset the goal to 200 lbs. However, now that I’ve been hovering around 199 lbs for a couple of weeks I think my new goal is going to be 195 lbs. I am not sure I’ll maintain that since I want to build more muscle; I'll just have to make sure I loose more fat to offset the muscle weight gain.
