Our Strength Workouts for the Coming Month
source Note: I am sharing what our routine will be, this isn't suggesting you do it. Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program. First off, a very happy birthday to my bestie! Wishing you an evening sans bra in front of the tube, enjoying your gifts and knowing you're loved! 🎂🎁 *** We have officially been doing strength training again for two full months. I've got to admit, I'm proud of us. It's hard going from none, being upset with how far your strength capacity has plummeted and discouraged to making sure you stick with it every week. June was 2x week until the final week trying to build a base and then the final week and through July we went to 3x week. This past week, I tried to up it for most exercises to 15 lbs. I don't feel as strong as I did when we were doing it regularly but I'm getting there. I know it's more important now than ever so we can maintain not just base strength but hopefully improve our b...
You are still one of the strongest women I've met on Sp. I know that you'll get there if you have to fight every last pound down to do it.
ReplyDeleteIt's ridiculously frustrating. And even more so with the more weight you have to lose.
ReplyDeleteLately, when I think about punning out on my workouts, I think about you and the Mr. and how you haven missed a workout in years. And I get my ass moving.
With that said, I still get pissed off when I don't see a change in the scale. It's why i'm not weighing the month of March.
I hope that once your body adjusts, you see the results you want and deserve.

Thanks guys, you're awesome! I'm trying to stay optimistic, it's just so hard when you felt like you were "doing something right" for a year and then along comes this axis of evil saying "nope, I think I'll take half your reward for more effort! Muhahahaha!" It will NOT defeat me. But I might have some hissies! :)
ReplyDelete*Big Long Hug* Keep at is girly! If anyone can do this it is you. You are the strongest gal I know...now if your body would just give in already and realize it has met it's match it would be much easier.
ReplyDeleteI know it's frustrating, I know you're working hard and I know at some point your body will stop fighting you so hard and you'll start really losing again. (At least I sincerely hope that last part is true! 'Cuz the scale was downright nasty to me this week and my body seems to be fighting every change I make. So I'm not only hoping it for you but for me as well.)
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I do know, above all others, is that it won't get you to quit. And by some strange magic, if you don't quit, then there will be others who also won't quit. Frankly, I feel privileged just to know you. So together we'll keep doing whatever it takes to get there. *Hugs*
