October Personal Workout Plan

For the month of October I was given this calendar by my mentor. Basically it tells me what I'm suppose to do each day. "PT" stands for my workout sessions with my mentor, which are on Mondays and Wednesdays. The other days are my independent component days, except for  Saturdays and Sundays. On the top left right below where my name is located,  my goals for this month are written there which are Primary-Strength and gain muscle, Secondary-Tone overall muscle, and nutrition-eat more protein 3 meals, 3 snacks. I really enjoyed working with my mentor this month. She is really nice and helpful with my senior topic. I'm really glad to have her as my mentor. I feel like she has help me not only on my project but also with my fitness goals as well.
