I have come to the end of another 4 week group training session. This one was good and challenging and I definitely felt that I improved over the course of the 4 weeks. Today was weight and body fat check. For the past 3 weeks, I have remained at the same weight and same body fat %. I am happy with that, although I want to lose 4 more lbs to get to my own personal “magic number”. I know all will be right with the world when I hit that # – world peace, no more hunger, total and complete happiness to all mankind – you get the idea.
One thought just occurred to me today after talking to my friend, Cheryl. She said I am basically should be in maintenance mode now. And all of the sudden, I kinda gasped internally. I have worked for this goal for so long now, what do I do once I reach it? In the back of my mind, maybe I am really mentally not there yet. Who will I be once I reach the goal? I have always – seriously well before high school – seen myself as this clunky, non-athletic, dare I say, Fat person. I am finding that it is definitely is harder to make that mental shift when that’s how you have been seeing the world for years and years. I know I am no longer that person – so its not that I am in denial, but all i have been thinking about is getting down to a good, healthy weight and leading a healthy fit, life. What do I do now?
Cheryl says “u need to jump ur ass up on the box“ …she’s right.
Here’s what group training had in store for me today:
Warmup and core:
Jump rope for 2 mins
Abs: side plank, leg raises, and ROBs, back extentions, and this one where you go into a pushup position and bring your knees to your elbows and then kick them out.
45 Push-ups
Workout:
1 armed back row 35#
snatch 55#
hang knee rollups
plyo-pushups
lateral squats 45#
The PT station (30, 20, 10 reps for time)
pullups
one max box jump
35lb dumbbell squats
I am still grappling with the mental block on the larger box. I tried to visualize it all week and then really get inside my head, but just couldn’t pull it out. I will continue to focus on conquering this. I have never really experienced this type of thing since I started working out with Plumbline, so it’s really getting under my skin.
What did you do today?
One response to “What did you do today?”
I did the same workout w/some slightly different weights! Felt good today…weight fluctuates weekly for me, but body fat % went down again, yay. And, JUMP ON THE BOX STEFFY! You can do it!
