You may remember last week after boxing I explained that my whole body hurt for days afterwards. Fortunately for me this week it has been a lot less painful. Except my hand which feels a little bit broken after a rogue punch 😂
This week the pace of the class stepped up a notch. Everything we started last week we added to. Our sequences were longer and much more demanding. Everyone in the class was pushing themselves. Even though I was totally sweating and red faced I found myself getting more and more into it. Every time I try something I genuinely feel like I can see huge improvements in my fitness.
One change I have made this week is to tweak my diet plan. I have removed the majority of the carbohydrates through the day and am eating them at dinner time instead. I've convinced myself (probably incorrectly) that this is the way forward. 😂😂 Again it is one of those "wait and see" things that I try every now and then. #desperatetolosemore
Tonight PT was intense but really good. My gym buddy couldn't make it but I felt confident enough to go on my own. Turns out it was leg day. We started with a 12 minute treadmill session on a high incline and fast walk. From there we went down to the scary weights room (real body builders go to that bit). I think in my entire gym life I've been in there one time and it was to fetch my other half. So tonight I used the Smith (?) machine to squat. I am not sure what the bar weighed but my PT added 10kg to each side. Legit thought that I might die on more than one occasion. I did 3 sets of 10 reps. I felt good that I had managed to do it. Even though I didn't think I would.
Continuing leg day:
Leg press: 3 sets of 12 reps at 145lbs
Leg curls: 3 sets: 10, 8, 8 - can't remember the weight but it was low.
Hamstring curls: 3x12 - again, can't remember the weight.
Finally 8 minutes on the rowing machine.
I must say I am totally exhausted but feel great.
My target for tomorrow's weigh in is 13st 2lbs if I want to be on track for the wedding. Next update will be Tuesday when (hopefully) I'll be able to say I achieved it!
