I've decided to try a new lifting regimen. I'd searched around the web a bit looking for online training. While I would love to engage a trainer one-on-one (like Michelle Berger), I don't really have the money it would cost. So I settled for something less personal right now and chose Global Fitness which costs $20 per month.

I'm also finding that I can snap myself out of a slump much quicker now...positive thinking really works! I just keep reaffirming to myself that I am 25% bodyfat...I am lean...my size 12's are loose on me. Hey...it keeps me going! Anyway here's today's workout. It's a bit different...emphasizing Chest and Shoulders but also hitting Traps and Triceps in a secondary way. The bottom line is that I just needed something that I could "blindly" follow without thinking too much about it workout after workout...week after week. We'll see how it goes.
