MyQnA’s BodyBlog

I got into this journey a little late in the game for 2008 but, I am looking at my progress with my eyes wide open

What did I accomplish this year that seemed out of my league last year.

I can leg press 240 lbs

I can do walking lunges (20lb dumb bells)

I can bike 26 km

I can run (lolol that is a big one)

I am under 200lbs

I can do bicep curls (20 lbs)

I can do tricep curls (15 lbs)

The best one for me……I can deadlift 150lbs (no idea how much the bar weighed)

Now for 2009 BIG things are going to happen.  I am not sure where my goals are right now that is for tomorrow but, I know I can do it and I know I can get it done in 52 weeks.  Be strong, live strong and never give up!!!

I did not get to meet with my trainer and although I am tight about it I have been sticking tot he game plan.  I went home to the states.  I am back and only today do I feel rested.  I did gain any weight but, and this is the biggest but, I didn’t work out like I wanted to and had planned to.  I won’t cry over it the time has passed and I have to move forward.  I am set to join the gym either tomorrow or Tuesday.  This is going to be the biggest change in my routine.  I am so excited it is disgusting or should be.  I am also trying to change my body from the inside out.  I know in fitness training of any kind what goes in your body has a direct effect on your results.  I have always known this however, things are clicking for me and making far more sense than they did previously.  I hate to go on and on but it has been awhile since I posted something so I feel the need to keep myself honest.  I never care who reads this blog because if it is all lies who would know but me.  So, I took more photos today but of my face.  I think my skin is suffering because i am not properly hydrating myself.  I have started to use some crap to help the problems that are already present and then increase water intake to prevent future issues.  Let’s see.  Oh and I am a firm believer you should always end on a high note whenever possible.  I did my first dead lift this week.  Sooooooo proud of myself.  I lifted 150lbs.  I have no idea if that is good or not but I felt so proud of myself and can’t wait to really bang it out and increase my power.  Wishing anyone reading this well be strong, live strong. 

So, I have one week before I meet with my trainer again.  I have been busting my ass and doing all I can to stay focused.  I don’t see any prgoress and I am afraid when she sees me she will see the same.  I don’t know if I have "pre game" gitters so to speak or if I have been kidding myself this past month.  All I can say is I have worked out even when it hurt even when I hated it and even when I thought you know average is ok.  There are plenty of average people in the world quite happy.  I still said F that.  I am above average and it is time to do it.  So, the long and the short of it is.  I just have to stay focused it is all a mind game if I tell myself I got this then hey I got this.  I have tried to develop a support system because for me weight training is just like losing weight.  If I have positive people around me who support and believe in me I feel even more obligated to tow the line.  It hasn’t been easy but, I have my husband’s uncle on board showed me where to buy protein over here.  Have my husband’s sister who wants to do a cardio class together that will help as I hate cardio.  I have my brother who I call daily to say what I’m doing that day and get some emotional support.  Now, there is me.  I pray daily for the strength and I truly thank God when I complete a set that I wanted to quit.  So what is left?  I don’t know but I will find it.  I need to find it and I have to give it my all and treat my weight training like a ravenous lioness ready for the kill.  Take no prisoners and take no excuses (from myself).
