big mistake, weighed myself and Im two pounds up from last week
i know, its only 2 pounds and could mean anything, but im like a kid with a brand new toy, im so excited by lifting weights and getting stronger i thought there would be an immediate decrease in cms and lbs. almost felt like adopting a very british habit and having a cup of tea, a biscuit and a lie down.. but I went to the gym and im so glad i did, i really feel much better now.
Squat
1x12 20kg
1x12 30kg
pushups 2x12 below hip height on smith machine
seated row 1x12 4 1x12 5
step ups
1x12 15kg weight plate
1x12 20kg barbell, feeling stronger, yay
1x10 jack knifes
1x10 swiss ball sit ups, making my way up to doing two full sets of jack knifes
protein shake handful of nuts i'm beginning to respect my body now, and also realise i am never going to be like the bodies on the cover of shape magazine, and thats almost ok with me, after obsessing for so many years. i just want to get stronger now, and decrease the body fat. i can feel myself getting stronger,but the diet thing needs to be whipped into shape. i ate four choc chip cookies yesterday on the way home from work in the car, crumbss everywhere and i felt like an addict.
gotta get my head around this food equals comfort thing, or start an addiction for tuna and egg whites instead
