Good afternoon sweeties,
Its the greatest feeling in the world when you can reflect back on a workout and say that you honestly gave it your all. I have been feeling that exact way all this week but especially today after completing my goal of the 320 pound machine leg press. The entire workout I was comparing my progress to the exact same workout but that I had completed Tuesday of this week. It's amazing how quickly you gain strength when exercising consistently. Tuesday I wasn't even able to touch 320 so I had hovered around 250. Even then I still was unable to complete the amount of reps that were outlined. Today, I did it perfectly! Of course it was hard and my legs were quivering, but to see my quads protruding from my legs saying, "Thank you", was enough motivation to keep me going.
Stairs. OMG, that machine is a killer! I alternated between intensity levels 9 and 10...it was difficult but once completed, I felt like Rocky, lol. Those stairs had my quads and hams burning like never before! As difficult as it was I kept pushing through. The glimpses that I took every now and again at the mirror that was behind me motivated me. It showed me how defined my legs are becoming, so I kept going. Afterwards, my legs felt soooooo weak and jelly like!
Overall today was an amazing day. I ended up burning 1,480 calories. Tomorrow is going to be just as amazing I am sure. Tomorrow will be my last upper body day of the week so of course, I have to go even harder than I did earlier this week. I'm up for the challenge though. My goal for tomorrow is to burn 1,200 calories. So 'til tomorrow, stay inspired and motivated sweeties the week is almost over; rest day (for me Sunday) is one day nearer with each completed routine!!
