Strength Training Progress – May 29 2023

May 29, 2023

2 months & 10 days of working out.

Weight – 5/29/2023

90 lbs – I’ve been out of town for a few days, so haven’t been properly weighing myself. I hopped on the scale when I got home and I think I’m still around 90. So let’s just go with 90 lbs.

Workout Routine – 5/29/2023

Officially back in the gym after 4 days being on vacation. It was rough. I was pretty go go go on my trip, walking ~7-10 miles a day (gotta love that big city life). Putting my suitcase in the overhead bin was a BREEZE. I love feeling strong and I love not having to rely on ~men~ to “help me”.
