TheFreshDietGirl: Day 85

Amazing! 85 days on the program and 40 lbs. down. I feel GREAT!!! I lost 3 lbs. this last week to bring my total to 40. I KNOW next week I will be in the 50's. HOORAY!!! I went today and got my bloodwork taken. I will post the results as soon as I get them. I'm so curious to see how my blood has changed. I feel fantastic. This has been the most challenging but gratifying 85 days of my life. I look back at these last 3 months and I am in awe over what I have not only physically accomplished, but mentally accomplished. I am a positive person and I am grateful for everyone in my life that brings me such happiness and joy. I feel the love and the support that has held me up in my trying moments and has brought me to this part of my journey. I know and I feel the energy from all of you who read this blog and I want you to know how much I appreciate every single one of you. I am doing this! I am changing my life. I am a physically active person now and I love it!

Training with Joe

I did a LONG warm up this morning - almost an hour on the SPIN bike.
Today we did a constant rotation of 3 things for 8 sets. Joe said he wanted me to go straight through without resting for the entire 8 sets. So I did it and it took me a little over 13 minutes. Here's what we did:
Romanian Dead Lift - 5 x's - 115 lbs.
Leg Lifts - So for this I laid on the bench and brought my legs straight up to start and then lowered them about 45 degrees and came back up - 20 x's
Jumping side to side over a bar - 20 x's
After that Joe became my physical therapist and he had me work on my shoulder. The right shoulder is fine, my left is still injured. I LOVE MY SHOULDERS!!! :):):) After 18 surgeries on them, they are my source of all pain that I have to endure. But I have come to peace with that and I just love them and am grateful that I still have them.
Then Joe stretched me out and I was done for the day. Hooray!
