Thanks Lost and Aoife...it's good to be back...in more ways than one!
I think I need to talk to the trainer tonight, and see if he plans on keeping me on this regiment forever...or of there is a progression to his plan. I have been doing this routine since January...and other than the boxing which has progressed, we have been only making small changes...maybe it's the fact that the routine is getting stale? My body has adjusted and I need another kick in the butt? We pretty much do the same thing just in a different order every time. One day is slightly heavier than the other, and there are maybe slightly less reps. I just feel like it's too many reps...and I don't feel like I'm working sometimes...I mean...when you put me on the seated row and I'm bouncing the cable during the third set at 80 lbs, doing curls at 30 lbs in between...maybe you should add more weight? Also, I thought that the more muscle you have, the more calories you can burn...plus the stronger I am, the better I will be able to perform? Besides, I like being able to compete with the guys in the gym...it's part of what makes it fun for me. I'm just like that I guess...
Also, I just have to say this...because I know some people see it as an excuse...as for the thyroid condition, I never really took it into consideration as much as I should have. I never wanted it to be my excuse...like...oh I have a "condition" that prevents me from losing. It doesn't prevent me from losing, it just takes a little more dedication from me to lose a pound than it may take someone else! It's not an excuse it's just something I have to work with or around.
