WOD

Yesterday I felt amazing.  Even better, I'm starting to see my hard work paying off.  I can lift more and am seeing more muscle definition.  I'm feeling really strong and positive.  I haven't run at all this week, but as it's been about 7ยบ out when I would go running, I'm not really all that sad about it.  I think come spring I'll be ready to kill it on the trail.

Weight lifting:
Stiff leg dead lifts with shrugs
Incline dumbbell press
Upright row
Skull crushers
Leg extension
Leg curl
Wide grip tricep dip
Pull ups

-20 minutes elliptical

Ab workout:
100 Russian twists with 10# weight
100 crunches
1 minute plank
100 bicycle crunches
50 Spiderman planks
25 side plank right
25 side plank left
25 hip thrust with 10# weight
50 reverse crunches

One month belly fat difference.  Who wants to go bikini shopping with me?

Final Challenge Day

Today I woke up sick with a cold.  It's been coming on for days, but finally hit in full force.  I didn't do any sort of exercise today, but I suppose I was due for a rest day.  We had to post our weight and measurements again today.  I'm pleased with the loss of inches in my waist.  I'm not so pleased about my legs. Like they need to be any skinnier!  I guess I'm going to have to hit the gym this week and lift some heavy weights to build those puppies back up!  I am, however, happy that a couple pounds lost means I'm closer to having visible abdominal muscles.  I think a few more pounds ought to do the trick.

This week was fun.  I think I will continue to incorporate more HIIT training to my regular routine, as well as adding lots of the fun ab work I learned!  Bring on the Russian Twist!

Challenge Day 1
134.4 lbs
Waist at belly button 33"
True Waist 30"
Chest 35"
Mid-thigh 18.5"
Thigh at biggest point 20"
Arms 10.5"

Challenge Day 7- Final Day
133 lbs
Waist at belly button 32"
True Waist 29.5"
Chest 35"
Mid-thigh 18"
Thigh at biggest point 19.5"

I don't think you can really see too much difference.  Maybe a bit more detail in the obliques.  I guess I'll just have to keep at it!

I'd like to say a fat thank you to Astrid Novak for hosting this fun (and free) week long challenge!  I know it was a lot of work for her.  She is an inspiring woman!  Thanks, Astrid!
