July goals and being back at the gym!

It was my first session back at the gym last night. It was magical. I can't believe there was ever a time where I didn't lift weights! My legs and glutes are definitely sore today! My session included:

* Squats
* Lunges & curtsey lunges (Superset)
* Weighted glute bridge (did my reps then held a bridge for as long as I could for each set)
* Leg extension (could have gone a bit heavier on this one; noted for next time)
* Split squats
* Plank

I tried not to be too disappointed as the weights I was lifting was not much, for me anyway. But I'm lifting what is realistic for me at the moment considering I've been away from the gym for a bit. Not to mention I'm only 4 months post partum so I'm taking each day as it comes so I don't hurt myself.

So my goals for the next month are to be consistent with training and tracking my food. I will try to stick to my macros of course, but if some days I can't as long as I'm in my calorie target that's ok. I am doing 4 lifting days and 1 cardio day, which will be a walk or a circuit. I'll be focussing on progressive overload for weights and food.

Upper body session tonight.
