Body For Life - Week 8
Haven’t posted anything lately. I’ve been busy with the kids and had company last weekend. Everything’s breaking down in my house so I’m a little stressed right now. Not to mention it’s been hotter than Haiti here and our air conditioner broke…can you say CRANKY!!! I had a few good increases in lifting last week. I went up to 145lb squats for 5 reps, put 2-45lb plates a side on the Hammer Strength low row for 6 reps (my back is finally getting stronger) and finally lifted a 60lb barbell for bicep curls 4 reps and 25lb dumbell for bicep side curls (I think I made this up myself but it isolates your bicep. I stand and use a pole or bench and hold the dumbell to my side, palms facing up and basically your doing a bicep curl from the side. One day I’ll do a video…lol). I’m not stressing about my weight so much anymore because I can see my body taking on a transformation. My core is looking real solid now and I feel like I don’t even have to suck it in to look good anymore. I can feel my abs and they’re starting to pop out. My old ass is starting to lift up. I think gravity is your worst enemy. My diet is starting to get old. I feel nauseas alot and I think it’s because I’ve been eating the same food for a long time. I tried different dishes because the smell is getting in the plastic and when I open it at work that’s when I get that awful feeling. So I went and bought hard plastic Rubbermaid dishes that don’t hold the smell. It’s time to start searching for new recipes. It’s easy to fall into the same pattern of eating because you’re always in a hurry. So that’s it for now. I’ll try to do post the cooking and freezing tips over the next few days.
