Sure there were a few stumbling blocks, including yesterday's lunch burrito that made my intestines hate me. And let's not forget that 1 glass too many Tuesday night after a workout. All-in-all you could say my behavior has been absolutely normal of any healthy, young woman. Everything in moderation.
Monday night's training was a beast. Hello, donkey kicks on the swiss ball, punching bag flips, and lunges! The soreness was nowhere near as intense this time the following days.
But as with anything in life, I decided to see how the other half live. My friend used her guest pass and took me to her swanky, superawesome gym. Holy cow. I've never seen a nicer locker room in my entire life. And trust me, thanks to sports, exercise, etc. I've been in a lot of locker rooms.
Friend & I did a 20 minute spurt on the elliptical then I scared the poo out of her by dragging her to the weight lifting room. She'd never set foot in this "man only" arena. So I set her up with some exercises and explained some of the machines. And then we dominated the room. From the looks of things, I don't think women ever go into that room!
I was so proud of her. I don't think she's ever done weight training before. Ever! I think she might actually continue even without me there. Girl power!
Tonight is PT day #4. I'm looking to really push myself tonight. I'm feelin' it!
On the Too Tight Pants front: I still don't think they're ready to come out & play, but soon, my friends, soon!

WOOOHOO!
I have been a gym swinger myself. I always love checking out new facilities. I still fantasize about some gyms I've been to. Oh the clean clean locker rooms.
Glad to hear you're out their motivating others. You motivate me!
Re your motivating comments post further down - I have found a couple of good ones while training for my recent TV appearance - how about "empty the tank!!" "leave it all on the track!" and "you've got all night to recover so - enpty the tank..."etc??
Good luck with the training.

Just catching up on your posts my dear and you are on FOGO! That's Brazilian for 'Fire'. Hehe.
I do enjoy the odd mantra and while I tend to end up just ranting at myself I also oft partake in 'Make it mean something' - i.e. If I'm going to do it, I need to do it properly. Otherwise, what's the point?

We all have little stumbling blocks now and then! But good for you for being brave enough to go into the weights part of the gym! I never do, I'm too scared, but thanks to you I may do it next time! Haha!
