Naomi's workout journal

[hal1]

Major congratulations are once again in order! :-)

Way to go girl! Have you joined a modeling agency yet?

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spend it wisely

[thebestme]

Hee hee hee on the modeling agency! I live in a small town so not much opportunity for that sort of work! A friend of mine thought I was going to do body building competitions. That is too hard; you are basically posing constantly. I was sweating my guts out posing for my pix but I got to relax between shots. It's a lot of work.

Thank you all for the sweet messages! I am so jazzed. And perhaps boring on plans. I'm really wanting to do some work on my kitchen and this would not quite stretch to cover it but maybe if I can find the things I need at super clearance somewhere and do all the work myself. Well, that is Plan A. Plan B is to take a 3 day road trip. Plan C is to buy a fall/winter wardrobe in my size. This shrinking from a size 12 to a size 2 lark gets expensive! No decisions yet.

Thanks, Ma! Trying to get friends to sign up. Another one did today.

Today's workout was FPFL. There are 4 types of workouts in this program: lactic acid, density, strength, and something else. You do one of each per week. I think this was lactic acid but I forget and don't wanna bring up my spreadsheet now. The thing that's cool/wonky about this particular workout is the timing. For example, the squats were 1 second down, 3 seconds up. The lunges were like that too. Boy, is that a hard way to do lunges. By the third time thru, I was really struggling to get to end. It was walking lunges, just 12 reps each leg and I only had 15 pound weights but I was dragging!

And the last superset was too much for me. I am really going to have to work on abs. One of the exercises was a hanging leg raise. I could not do this even one time with straight legs and it was supposed to be 2 seconds up, 2 down. I did knee ups. I sure hope that was close enough. And even so, I had to take a few breaks before getting to 10 reps. So yeah, a really weak point for me, obviously. I was already thinking that an abs workout would be on the agenda for the next TT workout. I am thinking I need to really push the abs stuff more. So if a plank is 30 seconds, I need to do at least a minute.

I just found out my gym has a kind of ab roller thingy behind the desk today so I used that a little. That would be easier if my shoulder wasn't still bothering me! Still can barely do one single pushup and it's been ages. I am now waiting for someone to get back from a week long zumba convention so she can work on my shoulder. She comes highly recommended and it's really time to start paying attention to getting this healed.

Congratulations, Naomi! You deserve it for all the hard work you did! I showed my mom and sister your before and after pictures-trying to get them all doing strength training regularly-such an inspiration to see such great results in such a short period of time! I know you will have continued success with fitness and health in contest #9!
