Results Day – Week 20: Got it, but can I keep it?

Another intriguing week.

A little more exercise due to being a novice group exercise instructor and having to get ‘stage time’ to learn the trade. It’s made to look easy by the instructors up on stage, and it sure as hell is not! Well, maybe for an oldie like me it’s not anyway ;(

The data is in and a pleasant set of results they are too:
Weight: 92.8 – stable
Body Fat: 8.4% - nice, a drop of 1.2% on last week
Waist: 84-88cm – guts out measure down by 1cm

The focus on nutrition helped tremendously and yet I still managed to enjoy fish and chips at Fisherman’s Wharf, Woy Woy for Mothers day. The moral of the story is staying focussed helps you make the right decisions and still have fun, and having fun makes working hard worthwhile, so you come back for more. And I did.

My resistance training takes the rough with the smooth at the moment, depending on what day it is and what RPM commitment I have I am finding that any set routine for weights just does not work. Oddly enough though, I feel a bit stronger and my muscles appear to be working harder when I am challeneging them. Maybe there is another lesson in that? I think the term is ‘muscle memory’ and as your body adapts to the challenges, they do not become a challenge... mix it up a bit and find out if you have been doing the same thing for too long. Don't forget, speak to a qualified PT ( 'cos I'm not one) if you are not sure.

My core work has fallen by the wayside, just can’t find the right moments to get onto the BOSU or Swiss Ball and smash out some deep core exercise. Maybe I’ll manage that this week...

Oh, and yep, I’m back in the pool with polo ball in hand once a week. Yeeeeehar! Is all I can say, I hate the break between summer and winter seasons; I almost feel rusty from not being in water ;)

Nuff said today!

So: ...Train, enjoy, laugh and then train again...
