3 Down....81 To Go!

The POWER of a PARTNER!

Workout:  I am not capable of pushing my physical limits when working out by myself…..

There were no environmental differences between my workouts on Tuesday and Wednesday, I had no additional weights or stations available to use, I had no additional power supplements and I was not wearing my SUPERWOMAN suit at either workout…..only one thing was different….last night I had a partner who pushed my limits.  A partner who pushed me to grab those 15lbs and JUST DO IT….rather than stick with the 8lbs that I was accustomed to.  A partner who constantly reminded me that I could do it…I could finish this set.  A partner who encouraged me to fight thru the pain because I was powerful and I was strong! What a difference this made in my workouts from Tuesday to Wednesday.  There were still similarities between the two workouts that I had complained about previously, the workout was short, I didn’t sweat, and I couldn’t incorporate cardio.  However, the encouraging nudge that was constant last night made the workout worth it and that is what really matters to me. 

Thanks PATNAAAA!!!

Meals:

With my meals today I attempted pushing my own limits rather than just whining like a baby…haha.  Since what my body needs is so clearly outlined in a variety of forums (ie  Guidelines of this challenge and Fitness Pal) I decided that I needed to woman up and quit my bitchin!   And…..I must say, it wasn’t that bad.  I ate exactly what was outlined for me and completed my Daily Food Journal netting more calories than the day before.  Although I was still short by about 500, I had improved.  That is what I truly want to focus on.  I want to change my mindset to focus on the positive outcomes and results rather than still find paths to negativity and my shortfalls.
