View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
TGIF!!!
Training last night with Elle was great!
She increased almost all of my weights last night, introduced more challenging exercises such as lat pull downs while on a stability ball for my abs and throwing a medicine ball from overhead to the floor while doing squats. We were even able to change the positions of the seats on some of the machines because my stomach is going away. She also had me do squats using the smith machine as a stability bar with the heels of my feet on the 10 lb disks to make sure I dont roll to my toes when squatting (ball and toes are hanging off the front) AH PROGRESS!!!
I have a little extra pep in my step today for several reasons below
1. I caught my husband checking me out last night; together for 22 yrs
2. I feel stronger
3. Im wearing Capris that I havent worn in years today, they fit and look great!
4. My husband told me I was beautiful as he kissed me before going to work this morning; I was still wearing my bed head and PJs.
5. Its Denim Day at work to raise money for a charity
On another note just as I suspected my weight is up this morning (1lb 8oz), I weighed in at 208.9. I pretty much figured this would happen because of the cleanse. Im not sure if this is because I worked the muscles so hard last night or just my body getting back to "normal" I will have to wait and see. Either way Im not going to dwell on it..I still feel Wonderful!
I am in a fantastic mood today, positive, light of heart and mind Im going to try and hold onto this feeling all day.
The quote that spoke to me today was
Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs. ~Dr. Maxwell Maltz
WE CAN DO IT!!!
Have a Wonderful day!

I love hubby compliments too...I remember every single one I've received in the last 35 years! If he only really understood how much pleasure that provides!

Good Morning Cindy - I LOVE your consciously pursuing a positive attitude. It makes a huuuuuge difference in this challenge. (I was about to say struggle, but I put a positive spin on it - see that, your changing my thought-process as well!). :-) Have a great day -sounds like that will be easy to do today.
Cheers
