Under Three Figures Again!

Right - well last night was a mad dash to the gym, gulp down a protein drink and a 'nana, then into Pilates, which is a fantastic tum and back workaout, followed by Body Pump and then a swim. Something like two hours continuous exercise - I used the swim more as a loosener than anything, so only did about quarter of a mile, but my stroke was feeling good.

Body pump's getting easier - I'd recently put some weights up, and may well put them up again based on last night!









Muscle Group

Weight (each end - kgs)

Comment

Squats - Quads

11.25

Too light - will try 12.5

Chest

10

Bit light, may try 11.25

Back

11.25

Bit light last night, was tough on Saturday - may try 12.5

Triceps

7.5

No probs until the tricep dips - may try 8.75 but prob not yet

Biceps

6.25

First time on this weight so will stick with it for a bit

Lunges - calves and quads

5

Lower end ones kill me whatever, no point risking injury

Shoulders

5 on bar, 4 each hand for side raises etc

Very track dependent - will stick with this for a bit - was using 2.5s in each hand before



And then the great news this morning - I've lost 0.3kgs since yesterday and dropped below 100kgs for the first tiem for a while. Okay - it may bounce back tomorrow (although I do plan to run tonight), because of natural variation, but the general trend is downwards and it's a milestone. Realistically I expect to wobble above and below (maybe) for a day or too, and then wave goodbye to three figures for ever :oD

Slightly achey now (DOMS I guess), but looking forward to my run. Got another BP class booked for tomorrow as well.
