I have been sick with the flu since last Friday and had been resting. Yesterday was the first day I felt well enough to get back to working out. Lifting was extra hard after nearly a week off, but I expected that. I hate taking more than two days off. I did complete everything I set out to do, even with the heavier dumbells that I thought I'd never make it through.

I finished with 30 minutes of cardio, I experienced that endorphin rush that some people speak of, it was cool, kinda like a natural high...first time I ever noticed it. It certainly made doing my cardio easier. I felt like I could have done another half hour, but I didn't want to push myself too far on the first day back. I also noticed something else while doing treadmill yesterday, that I don't have any more fat that touches on my torso anymore. Not saying there's no fat, just no rolls!

Gotta educate myself some more on muscle names, locations, and exercises so I can detail what I'm doing better.
