I've had my last 2 PRIZE Personal Training session yesterday and today. Yesterday we worked on shoulders, triceps, and chest, and today we worked on back, legs and core.
As yesterday wore on I could feel the soreness start in my shoulders... As I was working on my shoulder blades this morning, I just had to think I was working on my 'Wings'
I love it the soreness now!
Now it's up to me to decide if I'll continue with the Personal Training. BUT Jenna really went out with a BANG! I love these to workouts! it'll be hard to have the same effect without her. I don't know if I have it in me!?

Body Don't Fail Me Now kind of day!
Great cardio workout this morning, then squating, bending and lifting while laying block in the yard all afternoon, now to start laundry going up stairs and downstairs for the rest of the night. I'll be glad for this holiday to be over!
This has been a true .. Body Don't Fail Me Now day!
Great New Kettle Ball Workout!
I did this work out this morning
well, parts of it because I forgot to take the list with me!?!
But it was still a great workout.

Here is my latest Picweighing in at 175 pounds
and feeling good.
If I'd know how good I'd feel I would have never gained the weight, actually if I'd know how bad I would feel with the weight I wouldn't have gained it!

Sunday is a day of Rest
Sundays are my day of rest. Rest from exercise and counting calories.
The exercise is a given, my body needs a day off to rest and repair. I take Sunday and usually Friday off every week.
I also take the day off from counting calories. I've found that this keeps my body from feeling deprived from anything. I have whatever I want in any amount that I want. Over time I've found that I no long crave those sugary, sweet, fatty foods, even on Sundays. If I want it I can have on Sundays. I've found that I don't feel good on the Sundays that I just binge everything. Early on when I started my healthy life adventure I would find myself unable to move off the couch by the end of Sunday evening. All that sugary sweet fatty foods just made me sick. I didn't realize just how yucky I felt, until I didn't eat that way anymore!
I've also found that my body doesn't go through a plateau period if I eat more calories once a week. My body doesn't go into that starvation mode. BUT I can also say that eating healthy means that you eat alot of food!
More and More I find myself picky healthy choices and just eating healthy on Sundays also.

Y 5k and Squaturday!
I pushed myself, I really (REALLY) want to get my 5k under 40 minutes! I'm so close in a race where I can't see how fast my wogging (walking/jogging) so I push myself. When I'm on the treadmill I just don't go as fast! I'm a visual person so I'm busy watching the speed and time.
Today I made the focus on Speed and time. I'll jog (4.8 mpg) for 10 minutes or 5 minutes. I used that 'little voice' that usually tells me how short of breath I am, or how fast my heart rate is, or how achy my legs are to encourage me. "You CAN do this!" "it's only 3 more minutes you HAVE this" are what the little voice said today!
I got my 5k done in 41.55! not under 40 but still good.
I start out with the incline at a 3 and then after 20 minutes lower it to a 2.5, then down to 2 at 30 minutes. In the last few minutes it gets lowered slowly whenever I need it to 1.5
I feel GREAT for pushing myself and gaining control for that little voice!
I stopped then and did my Squaturday challenge 100 squats! I did sets of 20 with 5 different types of squats!
