So, I meant to post this yesterday but I didn't.
The level of my soreness isn't as bad as it was when I first started. I wonder if this means I'm still not pushing hard enough (I felt totally whomped after my workout, in a good way) or is my body adjusting already?
Anyway, here was this weeks A workout.
Squats, 2 sets, 12 reps......................65 lbs/15 reps 65 lbs/12 reps
Alternating sets...
Push ups, 2 sets, 12 reps...............45°/12 reps 30°/3 reps 45°/9 reps
Seated row, 2 sets, 12 reps...............50lbs/12 reps 60lbs/12 reps
Alternating sets...
Step up, 2 sets, 12 reps.....................10lbs/12 reps 10lbs/8 reps
Prone jack knife, 2 sets, 10 reps...........bw/10 reps bw/10 reps
Also, I threw in 10 minutes of intervals after my workout. They weren't like, super-to-the-max intensity or anything, but I hope something is better than nothing. I had to use my inhalers in the shower after my workout. Erik was kind enough to jump out and run across the apartment soaking wet to grab them while I tried squeezing air out and turned pale.
I mean, I'm getting there, right? Part of me is just happy that I'm in my third week and I am still sticking with it, and still trying to push myself. Visibly, I haven't really noticed any changes (and I haven't weighed myself in over a week), but yesterday I was raising my arms over my head to grab something out of the cabinet and I felt something....muskols. In my armpit/chest/shoulder area. It's no longer just a soft, squishy blob! There is something firm in there that feels like it has a shape!!
I'm trying to decide if I want to take progress pictures monthly, or after each stage. I am afraid I will not see any difference in my body because I am too fat. Sigh. That's okay, there is always stage seven. If that doesn't work, there is always the fat loss programs in Erik's book. But eventually, there has to come a point where I am totally able to see a difference...right?
For now, I guess I will settle for a firmer armpit/boobpit region.
In other news, I am excited to do my B workout tomorrow, though a bit nervous. I didn't do deadlifts or pulldowns last week. I think I am going to keep close to the goals I had set for last week's workout, at least in my first set. If I feel like I am able to go heavier in the second set I will.
In other, other news. My belly dancing practice isn't yielding anything promising in the field of belly-rolling ability. Yet.
