March 9

• Bought new grey rugs for the master bathroom (on 3/7).
• New things bought at the grocery store on 3/8: cherry tomatoes and basmati rice.
• Tried new Pandora station (Cake) while getting ready this morning.
• Tried a new weight machine at the gym (ab machine, didn't like it)
• Did negatives on the pull up bar in the main gym area for the first time (intimidating because I feel like everyone is watching me struggle).

First of all, what the hell was that ab machine? I have never had my abs hurt so deep. So maybe even though it's not fun, it's a good ab workout! Here is a picture of the machine:

• So today we made buffalo ranch chicken wraps at home (first time)... pretty tasty.
• I made a list of my heavy weight lifting exercises so I can be more targeted when I go to the gym.

I'm really liking lifting heavy, which is different for everyone, but I judge it as the max amount of weight you can do for 3-6-rep sets. It's usually more than I think I can do, and I've really built some good muscle in the last 6-9 months or so and it makes me feel strong. I recently read this article that also sums up the benefits of lifting heavy.
