The scale moved!
I’m starting to think that every time I complain about something, it happens. I complained about my trainer not pushing me hard enough and yesterday had to be the hardest workout ever. This week was my first week of going 4 days in a row with no break in between, but I’ve become addicted to going to the gym. I feel lethargic when I don’t. Yesterday’s workout included the following:
-Stretching on my favorite stretch trainer
-20 minutes on bike, level 7 (4 miles!)
-5 minutes/10 floors on stair stepper
-60 leg raises
-90 traditional crunches
-60 Sumo squats (held a 20lb barbell between my legs vertically and squat down making sure the weight touched the ground)
-45 lunges on each leg
-60 regular squats holding a 5lb dumbell in each hand straight out
I was so thankful when we were done with everything. My legs were wobbly, I was dripping with sweat and so ready to go home. We did my measurements before the workout since I never did them this whole time. My BMI went down 6 points this past month and my body fat % went down 2 pts. Yay! When I weighed myself at the gym after the bike/stairstepper, my weight had crept up… Little known fact time! My trainer says that when you workout, your muscles expand and you weigh more. Sweet! My weight this morning was 224.9! Yay! 25lbs down since surgery!
This morning’s best present was that I’m finally wearing a pair of cowboy boots that I’ve never worn. Cowboy bought them for me years ago and they never fit. My feet were too wide, calves too full. It was tragic. I never wanted to return them because they were so fancy and exactly what I wanted. I made him get them from the garage and surprise, they fit! Perfectly! My feet are shrinking! I think he was excited that I was finally wearing them. I’ll be shopping with a gf tomorrow, so I’ll be sure to get some pics. I didn’t take any when I was shopping with mumsy. It’s been rainy here so no pics of the hair yet either, but I’m hoping for some sunshine today.

That’s a heck of a workout!
Thanks for the comment.
I wish I could leave during my lunch break, but there’s nowhere to go, and it’s too cold to just sit in my car. I can’t wait til it gets warm again, haha.
Wow, that sounds like a hard workout! Great job getting through it.
Congrats on the 25 pounds lost, and being down on your BMI and body fat %! That’s awesome! And I’m glad your cowboy boots fit.
Anyway, I hope the rest of your week goes well! Take care.
