It finally happened...

I missed a daily post. That's three and a half months straight and then for being tangent man, I missed a day. I had even started writing up a post and for some reason I didn't finish it and then last night I was stuck at work late again but was sure that I'd finished the post and scheduled it to post on time so I didn't bother writing anything on my phone. Some of the below is what I started writing for last night.
I did end up going and doing my little routine using the dumbbells on Tuesday night. It only took me about 10 minutes to get through it all. I'm not doing it for cardio, I'm doing it with the aim of hopefully putting on more muscle. I think that if I put on more muscle then that will help me lose weight as what I eat will go towards maintaining the muscle instead of turning into fat. The worst thing that can happen is that I get stronger and I keep my existing fat, which to be honest will be a little annoying but at least I'll be more fit than I was before.
I do think that 10 minutes is probably a little too quick so I'm going to do a bit more research into other exercises that I can do with the dumbbells and the bench and add a few more things to the routine. Again I chickened out of doing squats as they really burned my legs up for a few days last time and again I was still in my motorcycle pants as I hadn't gotten changed when I came home from work... this is where I went off and actually started researching different exercises and never got back to finishing the post.
What I discovered was that there were a couple of exercises that I could be doing but I realised that I should also be doing those squats that I've been avoiding. Today I'll do them for sure and I'll also try one or two other things to see if they work different muscles or the same. I only did four sets on Tuesday so today I'm going to do five.
