Completed workout without problem although the Dumbell pushes do not seem to be getting easier. By now I think I should be able to do them with much less effort, but that is not the case. New core exercise using stability ball doing planks is causing some issue. I have modified that so I am just doing pushups on the stability ball. I think I need to do this for awhile before doing the actual up,up,down,down function of the exercise.
Circuit – Repeat for 5 total sets with 1:20 minute rest between sets
Dumbbell Push Press – 45 lb Dumbbells – 12 reps
Bulgarian Split Squat (rear foot up on bench)
32 kg – 6 reps each leg
Narrow Grip Lat Pulldowns ( machine # !6 )
150 lbs. – 12 reps
The scales continue to play with me. Back down to 228 this morning.
Planning on an outside Kettlebell class this evening, as long as the rain stays away.
Well, the rains came, and washed away the outdoor Kettlebell class. We will try again next week. I thought about going to the gym instead but did some errands and picked up some things I needed from OfficeMax. I actually feel guilty missing one evening of going to the gym. I already did a full workout today. I feel like I need the break. I may be pushing it too hard right now.
Entered a challenge with a youtube friend to NOT check the scale until next Tuesday morning. Maybe that will help me over this point between 227 and 230. Up and down, but never below 227. It’s going to be hard not to weigh myself. I always get weighed once I dry off from my shower at the gym. I have to walk right past the scales to get to my locker. Maybe I will make myself a sign to carry with myself saying “No Scales” so I don’t get on by mistake. I really want to get below 225. I don’t mind holding that for awhile but I have to get there by August 18th.
I was talking to Evelyn at the gym front desk. She had been in the Kettlebell classes. I asked if they ever found another Kettlebell instructor. She said no, but that she had said I should teach the class. That made me feel good. I almost wish I had enough background that I could teach the classes.
My workout for tomorrow has me moving up to the 28KG for 10 swings. Anxious to see how that goes.
