Gym it

73.9kg today :) That's good.

Did a shitload of exercise today. Two classes at gym, Body Pump which I love cos its not cardio and its weights and I get hot and sweaty but in a satisfying way, not an 'I'm going to die' way, which Body Attack makes me feel. And also I want to do weights because a) cross training is important and if I lose weight but don't tone, I'll look bad and b) I like feeling strong and the burn of lifting weights and not stopping for breaks in the middle makes me feel awesome, I just think '10 more, I can do that!' and then miraculously, there was only 6 or so to go so I didn't even need to do what I was psyched up for. I did it with pretty small weights (relatively) I was doing 3 times my best friend and some points. I varied between 2.5 on both sides (5kg all up) and 5 on both sides (10kg all up). Then after that, I did Body Combat for the first time. It was all punching and kicking and yelling 'HA!' and it was cardio but fun.

I'm only a part of the gym for a few more weeks, I'm trying to quit, but I've decided to make the most of it, with the next week a uni break, I can get a few classes in a week, including maybe Zumba. It'll spice up my workouts and my best friend and I can do it together. She's skinny already but that doesn't matter, it's still good to do. Only she doesn't like weights, which is silly cos weights are awesome and she thinks she's gonna get muscles.

Speaking of, I swear I have more arm muscle than before, woo. And by more than before I mean my muscle now exists. I had awesome upper body strength once and I'd like to get it back. Push ups will get me there, eventually.

I did my 30 day shred today. I nearly didn't but after not doing it yesterday I didn't want to make it a habit to be allowed to skip. It was difficult and i'm all sweaty now but it's worth it. I feel good. Like the motivational quote on my poster 'Do you want to feel guilty or proud tomorrow?'

Proud please! And hopefully this insane exercise day will show tomorrow and I will weight in at 73.6 kg. Fingers crossed. I don't know what to expect honestly.

If I get 50+ sit ups done tonight, I think I will be super proud of myself whatever the scales say. Also I'm gonna be trying a new method of increasing my push ups, doing 3 sets of half my max amount, so 7. Then increasing 1 set by 1, each day. Until eventually I'm doing three lots of 20.

My brother proved he could do 60 consecutive push ups tonight. I bet him 2 dollars he couldn't, but I consider that money well spent. It was good motivation and it was funny to watch my brother (who is getting guns) do it while I counted.

I think tomorrow I will go swimming, as well as do Body Pump, and then 30 Day Shred. As well as my push ups and Fab Ab Feb. I think I'm giving up Mad Abs March for now, I just don't know how to do side planks, my feet just slip. I don't get it. I have work tomorrow so I won't have a chance to do any running tomorrow sadly, unless I want to get up at like... 7:15. Which by the way, I don't.

But then I'm free for a few days after that (Easter) and will hopefully burn off some of what I know I'm going to be consuming.

Anyway, shower time now, then sit ups, then bed.

Good night blog xx
