The storms woke me up at 4:30 this morning and so I ended up leaving for the club by 6 this morning and good thing I did, the traffic was awful with all the beautiful rain. I feel really good about my workouts this week. I have continued to push myself like never before. I feel good about my body and where it's going. This morning Joe said he can visualize what I'm going to look like when I reach my goal weight. I just said REALLY. I can't. I can dream and imagine what I might look like, but I still can't visualize it. I am noticing I am getting more hourglass looking, even at my weight that I am now. I feel skinnier, but I still have issues looking at myself in the mirror. I caught a glimpse of myself today as I was working out and I totally noticed the hourglass and that made me smile. I can tell my legs have definitely thinned out, but my belly, oh my belly. SERIOUSLY!!! It just doesn't seem to be going down at all. I know it is, but it doesn't seem like it. OH MY!!! I am always amazed at how much my mind plays a part in my workouts. It's totally about controlling your head. If I just say to myself that I am going to ride this bike for an hour, then it will happen. I will myself to keep riding. Not only keep riding, but ride with so much energy. I LOVE that feeling. I get on the SPIN bike and just go to a different place in my head. I literally zone out and lose myself in my music and ride to the beat. I LOVE IT!!!!
I knew walking in to the club today that Joe had something intense planned for today. Boy did he ever!!!
Training with Joe
- 15 mins SPIN to warm up
- We did our rotation only 2 times today and let me tell you, that was enough, it was BRUTAL!!!
- 1000 meters on the rowing machine - OMG - my legs and arms were BURNING!!!!!
- 50 squats while holding an 18 lb. bar on my back - UM, HELLO LEGS!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
- 50 push ups - SERIOUS SWEAT MACHINE FOR THESE - MY HANDS WERE SWEATING LIKE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- 100 jump rope - HONESTLY, MY LEGS WERE EXHAUSTED BY THE TIME I HAD TO JUMP!
- Then Joe stretched me out and I went and rode the SPIN bike for 75 minutes, thank you very much!
- Finally I ended my workout on the abduction and adduction machines. I did 2 sets of 20 at 100lbs. I had some hip issues at the end of my 2nd row and so I felt the need to just stretch out those hips and build the muscles around them on these 2 machines. It felt good. I think I'll do this machine everyday for the rest of this week.
- Of course I ended my workout in the steam room and jacuzzi under the waterfall. HEAVEN!!!!
