I"ll be catching you all up on the last few days. Monday we didn't workout as been was ill. Tuesday we worked out and it felt great. I didn't realize how much I missed it! Good news, Ben is feeling better and wanted to step it up a notch with us today, and boy, did he ever. Holy cow!
I continued to use the 25lb disk in the wood chop exercise, added (2) 10 lb dumb bells to the step up exercise, increased time on all stations from 30 sec. to 60 seconds and added dead weight lifts with a 45 lb kettle bell. So it was nice to incorporate some new things.
Tomorrow I need to focus more. I really want to get to the next level as tomorrow is the 3 week mark. My goal especially until 4/2 (measurement day) is journal everything in fitday.com, drink all my water and get my protein in.
It's exciting having goals to reach and then reset. Even better, I'm wearing a pair of black pants from the "clothes that are too tight" side of the closet. They're snug but not as tight as they were 4 weeks ago! Yeah baby.
Whenever I feel like I'm struggling and need to push through, I tell myself NO EXCUSES and it always gets me through those last few reps. It also helps that Ben is encouraging us and saying "10 seconds left, get those last reps in!!!"
Tonia worked out with us today and OMG, that girl is a powerhouse! She was SOOOO motivating! Thanks T!

You did great Missy, I know you have another gear, but am very happy to hear about your clothes fitting differently. That is a great sign. I love the no excuses self talk because it is really about squashing the small evil voice inside that makes you make decisions you don't want to make. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteYeah for you, reaching into the "too tight" side of the closet, I haven't ventured there yet! Added motivation! Have you tried your new food yet this week? I can't bring myself back to the salsa yet, maybe next week. Trying to figure out next weeks new food, want to try something together? Same food, but don't tell each other how we'll cook it, then compare? We could get the other girls to try it too, might end of with good ideas. See you tomorrow - looking forward to it!!
