So, I haven't updated my weight chart in a very long time, too lazy to do the math, but it's probably been since April or so. I find for me it's better to look at my non-scale victories b/c I can't get too caught up in numbers. I don't like being depressed and all those feelings that come with getting on that contraption. I completed my Chest and Back workout today and I was blown away by my numbers. I can do 40 pushups in a minute! At the end of the 1hr workout I had done 313pushups combined!!! A year ago, I was barely eeking out 10 with Debbie between sets of her evil leg lifts, lol. I'm so excited about what I've been able to accomplish in this year. I definitely have gained about 10lbs, (though I may have lost some, I haven't been on the scale in like 3weeks, lol) but I've gained so much more personally and it can't be defined with a scale.
I wish there were more barometers for success on this website. Like measurements, bf% or something like that. I can't believe I'm only in my 2nd week and I have 10 to go. It's funny b/c I got a fbook msg the other day from a friend I went to HS complimenting me on my results and saying how she sees my statuses sometimes and wonders where Iget my motivation from. I was thinking about that for the past 2 days b/c I was wondering that too, but I realized if I had to rely on motivation it wouldn't happen. I'd sit and watch Oprah before I'd press play with Tony. I'd rationalize finding something better to do for sure, and put it off to later. Even when I wish I was more consistent, I think the COMMITMENT that I made to my health and fitness is what keeps me going. Plus, when you're consistent and persistent you get results, and those results motivate you to push more.
I knew what numbers I had for the first week, and I looked at them before every exercise I did today and tried to top those numbers, and I did. I remember last year I was so excited when I moved to Phase II of RevAbs and I was using 15lb weights; today I was able to use 25lbs!!!
