Today after one granola bar for breakfast, I ended up kinda pigging out at a Mexican restaurant for lunch. Chicken burrito and chicken enchilada with beans and rice. And lots of chips. Then for dinner I had some cereal followed by crackers and hummus. I'm slipping!
So to compensate I started weight training tonight. With my husband...That dude kicked my butt. In a good way though. I could barely walk afterwards! He definitely helped me break down my muscles. My goal is to weight train three times a week as hard as I did tonight. We trained everything, legs, arms, chest, stomach. I actually was sweating! I don't think I could've pushed myself that hard on my own. Boot camp and Cross Fit pushed me to those limits, but I just need someone there to push. When it comes to cardio I can push myself to extremes. But with weightlifting I just give up way too easily.
"This is too heavy" (drops weight and walks away.)
I learned several things about my strength tonight. A. I have no upper body strength. None. It's a miracle I can lift my toothbrush. My lower body is by far much stronger. At least now I know where I need improvement. My chest and arms are useless. It was entertaining and sad at the same time. Sure biking seven miles is great, except when you're so weak you can barely lift a pencil! Yeah, I'm going to get some of those Michelle Obama arms this summer;)
