Our Strength Workouts for the Coming Month
source First off, a very happy birthday to my bestie! Once again, I am in awe of what a beautiful, giving, patient friend you are. I don't know how I got so lucky to have you in my life but I'll take it! Wishing you an evening sans bra in front of the tube, enjoying your gifts and knowing you're loved! 🎂🎁 *** 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. 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 i...
Yep, 2 major ones I'm proud of. Yours and my SIL's.
ReplyDeleteWhat? You didn't say it had to be my own.
That's SO awesome, congratulations! The next 2 milestones will be behind you before you know it!
ReplyDeleteWOOT!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still clinging to my last accomplishment (happened about a month ago--so sad). I hit my new "never again" number of 175 lbs. And I'm happy to say since I've hit it I've never had a weigh in over it (and may I never for the rest of my life).
WOO HOO for you--and yes, it could be the start of a great streak! Here's hoping! Some of those major milestones seem like they take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to reach. I'm at 94 pounds lost now; counting the ounces to hitting 95 pounds, then 100 pounds lost. I'm proud of getting to 90 pounds off, but I soooo want to hit that triple digit loss. Still, I'm at the lowest weight I've been in over 25 years, so I'm pretty darned happy with that!
ReplyDeleteWell, seeing how I can't say that I'm happy that I GAINED weight...I will just congratulate you on your loss! We have some fun times ahead of us as you reach those milestones (I'm sending vibes that it is in record time, BTW). :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!
Great big contrats on the 3 lb loss! I know that you've been frustrated lately but that's behind you know. You've broken through that plateau and YOU WILL CONTINUE losing!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the fireworks you set off when you hit your next two goals.
Way to go woman!!! You will hit those 2 milestones in no time :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a well-earned loss!!! I do hope this is the beginning of a lovely streak for you. For me, my biggest accomplishment is that I maintained my weight over vacation (although it hasn't moved in almost 6 months, so I'm not sure if that's really a plus or not).
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm wearing skinny jeans with boots today. That's pretty awesome in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAND! I can't wait until I'm in the 170s. It feels like it's taking forever, but persistence pays off and all of that crap. :-)
Thanks so much everyone! I've got the best cheerleaders in the world! Let's hope this continues or at least continues downward! I'm chompin' at the bit to leave these 3's behind!
