I am not sure why, but when I am working my upper body, I start out just fine, and lose a lot of momentum during the workout so that when I am finishing out the last muscle group, I don't seem to be lifting much at all. I did an upper body workout today, and got through my chest, back, and lats without too much trouble, but by the time I started my triceps and biceps, my arms were already fatigued and I couldn't hardly lift anything. Sometimes this can be frustrating as hell. So, as a result, I didn't feel that today's workout was all that great. I didn't even break a sweat it seems.
Perhaps I should start adding some cardio to this workout so at least I can feel like I accomplished something during my strength training.
On a side note, I have been watching a ton of motivational and weight loss shows on TV, and I usually go to sleep all motivated for the next morning. The people on TV, as well as several people at work do 1.5-2 hours of workouts while I only seem to be getting in 45 minutes to an hour. I may end up getting up a bit earlier and extending my workout some to see if my body can take it. If nothing else, Ill burn more calories a week, resulting hopefully in a slightly faster weight loss.
I am back down to 230 lbs today, but am still plateaued it seems. Everyone I talk to tells me to not watch the scale, but as I have been doing every day since my surgery, I seem to be fixated on that damned number.
