I feel my training in the last month has been great! I am really enjoying it....even tho this last week, my legs were sore all week from the bazillion squats my trainer had me do followed by walking lunges. The thought of strangers looking at my butt is all the motivation that I need to keep moving forward. In all honesty, not only that, but that is the funniest. :)
Motivation to keep me on track has been now the 120 day challenge. This is where we mark our progress at the end of the month to see how many mills of fat we have lost on our bodies. At the end of 4 months for every two mills lost you get an entry into the ballot box for 3 different prizes. Great deal all around, get healthier, loose weight and a chance to win, either a trip, private sessions, or classes.
For me this is just an added bonus as I have to keep accountable to myself as well. I have committed to this show in May and I have now told people about it as they keep asking me about my body and its changes - so it is definitely full speed ahead. With that being said, we are now about 16 weeks away!! Yikes!!
My last weigh-in demonstrated that I had lost 1 pound of fat and *gained* 3/4 of a pound of muscle! This is good from what I was told. My weight now sits at 148.6 with 9.6 body fat. The body fat percentage will drop closer to the show but for the time being Blake does not want me losing anymore body fat. My cardio has now dropped from twice a day, to once a day, and we have switched up Saturday's to be a weight day - which is squats, and lunges, assisted pullups and chest press. And....surprise surprise, a day off on Sundays'. My body is still in a bit of shock. It is looking for that extra cardio that I have been doing for so long, and on Sundays' is again feeling like it should be doing something other than the usual chores around the house. I guess I should enjoy this while I can - I am sure it won't last long.
My trainer is wanting to see how this month progresses with my body and the change in cardio. The diet is remaining the same at the moment. Nothing has been cut back or out. He also has had me looking at figure suits and we have now booked an appointment with the www.suitlady.ca in Langley to discuss suits.
As each week progresses ~ I believe the changes are there. For me, it is hard to see still see how far I have transformed, but do I like where I have gotten to thus far? I think I now can say - Yes, yes I do!! Can't wait to see where I end up.....
