I don't see major changes to the way I look--OKAY it's only the beginning of WEEK 3 so really, should I?!! But I read somewhere that as soon as you start exercising, your body begins to respond and "reset" itself.
Today was my regular workout with my Trainer. Every session he has added weight here and there to my sets and increased the speed of my cardio, often surprising me! Today was NO different. We did every set in a rhythmic fashion--no holding at the top; a controlled movement that didn't stop until the end of the set (15 or 20 reps); 3 sets EACH machine. It was pure torture with him behind me saying "it's too easy for ya...too easy"!!! Yes, I wanted to clobber him, but I couldn't lift my hands and my legs felt like they were cast in iron!! lol
He figured out my secret--I've always been strong--it was one of the reasons that I liked strength training to begin with...and now he knows...ugh...!!!! :-)
Well, I'm in pain again and am just now feeling a little better after a nap!! But I am starting to notice a few things:
My biceps are starting to form (they don't go back to globs of fat after a workout, there's a little bulge!), my legs are starting to look more toned and don't have the same "jiggle", even my "shelf" is looking less like one (if you don't know what that is, ask me in an email!! lol), I have MUCH more energy, my knees don't hurt like they used to and I haven't had to modify any of the exercises, my flexibility has improved (well, with a starting point at around ZERO...!!), and my mom says I have a "glow" (love it!)!!! I've noticed a slight change in how clothes fit, but only to me at this point I think.
While I do feel that he enjoys torturing me(!), I love the challenge of seeing just how close I can come to the goals that my Trainer sets for me each workout. I'm proud to say that so far, I've done EVERYTHING he's asked for!!! YAY!!
The mission is now cemented and I'm ready for the next challenge!
