– walked about 30 minutes before work (no muscle spasms)
– before going out to lunch, I walked around the plaza, but this time I did get a muscle cramp (right hamstring). I’m seeing the doctor next week for a 2nd follow-up after my hospitalization, so if these series of muscle spasms continue I hope he can prescribe some treatment to elliviate this pain. I thought it was dehydration so I almost doubled my water consumption since Wednesday. Unfortunately when all is said and done, Icy Hot to the rescue!
– It was Friday and when I left I called up my brother to see if he wanted to stay in and we’ll cook something or go out. He opted to go out: I opted to drive just over an hour north to Albany and hit The Golden Corral. Good for the meal: Bad for me!
– We got back around 11PM and there were still people @ the gym. I went in, put on my sweats, and headed on over. After stretching out my legs for a good 15 minutes, I hit the treadmill for 30 minutes going around 3.0 miles to start, then half-way through I moved it up to 3.4. After that, I grabbed the smallest set of dumbbells I saw (15lbs) and did the following:
- Dumbbell Flat-Chest Presses: 2 sets of 10 reps
- Shoulders: 2 sets of 5 reps
- Reverse Flies – 2 sets of 5 reps
- Shrugs: 2 sets of 10 reps
- Bicep curls: 2 sets of 10 reps
- Triceps curls: 2 sets of 5 reps
After I got back, I showered, put on PJs, and went to bed only to be woken up with muscle spasms on my left calf/shin. On a bright note: At least I’m trying…
…but still I’m aching all over the place…and in pain on my calf. Damn leg! 😦
