One day when I was a younger woman I saw an older woman walking down the street. She had pure white hair and the body of a 20-year old. No it was better than most 20-year old bodies. Her clothes were styling. Her jeans form fitting as well as her shirt. To top it off she wore the smile of a woman who had it all. I remember saying to myself right then and there that one day when my hair is white I too will work to become an inpiration for those who follow me...
Today when I looked in the mirror at the gym I did not feel guilt and shame at all the fat I know I carry. I felt inspired by this memory and by the path that I am on.
Spin class = 1 hour (I had that baby pegged all the way today)
assisted pull ups (only 50 pounds of assist today) - 10x1
Hanging knee raise 15x3
I was not sore at all today. I will still ice those parts that I can feel per instruction. Tomorrow I face my trainer again.
My body feels strong right now and I think I finally got the diet thing worked out. I was able to get all my cals, just the right amount of protein and all my water in without suppliments.
Life is good...
