I love resistance training. Free weights. Lunges. Squats. Pull-Ups. There's nothing more raw than lifting heavy weights, to become stronger. I felt like one of the gang this afternoon with Tony and the kids. Obviously not lifting or squatting as much weight as them (except maybe pull-ups..I'm pretty sure i'm heavier than Drea...who, for the record, i'd love to one day look like. She's my favourite.) but still giving my best, and forgetting the rest!
The TSN turning point for me today were my calves. I've never done many calf raises in my day, but the calf raises with Tony, I seriously thought i might lose all control of my bowels they were so tough. Single leg wall sits...sick. I can't even cross my legs while i'm sitting here at my desk. But there's nothing that feels better.
After yesterday's little freak out, I needed today to boost my confidence yet again. Not only did I rock out my workout this afternoon, but I stepped on the scale this morning, and I've also lost all my holiday/pain au chocolat/croissant weight, in just 4 days. (For those who aren't aware...I was in South Africa and Paris for a month about 2 weeks before I started the X.) So that's a big confidence booster too. I can feel myself getting stronger already, so I'm very much looking forward to finishing these next few weeks to see the results of Phase 1. Bring on Kenpo tomorrow!
