My head is hurting a little with sleepiness, so hopefully I can keep this one short.
I am beginning to gain some confidence that all of this hard work is going to pay off. I can really feel my muscles beginning to grow. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of fat left in my arms, belly and thighs, but there is definitely new strength under the surface and that's really pleasing. I have almost no fat in my calves now, and they are looking pretty toned. Lovin' that! I can't wait to see all those other muscles that are just waiting to be revealed.
After starting these new work outs, I am actually sore again today! It has been a while, and it's kind of awesome to feel sore, because I know I'm forming new muscle. Today my arms were a little sore, but the soreness was mainly focused on the booty (thanks, lunges!). Despite being a little awkward, I am happy to know that my glutes are getting a good work out too.
I didn't max out my workout today, but I came close. Those Side Shoulder Flies are so killer. I still can't make the minimum once I reach the 3rd and 4th sets. I can do the maximum reps of Incline Pull-ups, but I don't think that I can do real Pull-ups yet. I am totally excited for the day when I can do all of my sets doing the real thang.
Not much else to report I think, except that I'm for certain a little hungrier this week. Not having a real hearty dinner is what gets me, but I'm sure that's an important step in losing the weight...which I certainly can't wait to lose! As of today, I weigh 125lbs. This is about 7lbs lighter than I was when I first started the PCP and what was my normal weight for the past 5 years!
I am inspired by Nate to start posting my measurements, so I will try to get those up this week.
Also, I told my mom about the PCP today, and it was totally anti-climactic! I was expecting more surprise, but she seemed like she had already concluded that Adrian and I were up to something. Oh well! Good times.
Goodnight y'all. I wish you sweet dreams and restful sleep. Zzzz....
