HT Book~ Foundation #3: Believe

 

Wednesday was full of excitement and fun!!  My tummy was finally feeling more normal, thanks for your prayers!!

 

I met up with  Lylna Thao for the AWESOME an jujitsu lesson yesterday~ I had so much fun learning some new sweeps, escapes and mounts with my partner in crime Emily McArthur!! LOVE these Ladies!! I do plan on taking more lessons as it fits into my life, plus attending your women’s boxing at 6:30pm class in Rogers on Tues and Thurs very soon!! — with Lylna Thao and Emily McArthur.

Went shopping for food after wards and then came home to workout and take my Bikni day 3 pics:

Then last night I got in my 3rd lifting workout for the week.   Back/Shoulders/Biceps with some abs

 

I’ll try to recall it from memory: Warm up: Bike 6 mins and DB Lat rows 35#x10

 

Pull ups

One set inverted One set of 6 NEGATIVES, HOLY WOW!!

One set of inverted

paired with upright rows 15#DB’sx10 45#curl bar x10 x2sets

 

Bent over rows 55#x10x3sets paired with bicep curls 55#x8reps

 

KB bent over lat rows

Standing BB Military press

45×10 65x8x2sets

paired with bicep curls

65x8x2sets

 

also did a set of snatches and shrugs.

 

 

Today, I weighed 131 but my DH didn’t believe it, HE thinks I look really thin and ripped!!  Nice to know that my composition is changing,  the workouts DO pay off!!

 

I WILL get in my run– maybe outside?? I’ll have to see how warm it feels out there.  Also, chest, triceps and abs are on tap too!!

 

How are you doing?

I am very pleased with my energy levels, drive and focus when it comes to getting in my workouts NOW.  It was tough the first few weeks due to being busy and having the tummy flu…but I feel like it’s really coming together this week!!

 

Do you feel any different?

YES!  I can feel/see progress in both my mojo,  body compostion, strength and fitness levels!! Typically I see this happen almost every FEBRUARY as the days get longer and temps warm up.  I can’t wait to see how much energy I get in MARCH!!

 

 

Are you seeing results?

Yes mainly in more consistent energy levels.  More muscle definition and in my aerobic fitness!  The scale has not been moving down as much as I’d like, but I KNOW that number is relative and would be moving down if I could keep my diet a bit tighter!

 

What obstacles are you facing?

Diet issues!

I’ve been struggling with food choices and frustration over my food sensitivities.  I feel like I have to “pick my battles” in regards to what is worse– eating some items that I’m sensitive to or just not eating at all?

And…Hip/pelvic pain flare up~ not sure what’s going on here? but I think it may have just been some of the flu symptoms?? It’s been better the past couple days

 

Are you still on fire/focused?

Yes, my focus is better now than at the start of the contest!!

 

What does relentless mean to you?

never quitting! I’m in this for the long haul and am not afraid to lead by example in that belief!

 

Hope you are feeling BLESSED today!!

Love,

Michelle
