Very first gunshow thursday?
So last Friday my trainer told me he could see come cut and definition in my arms and that it made him happy (which made me really happy) but today one of my friends told me he could see it to and that my arms were getting bigger! And another friend told me that my legs were “pure muscle” and he “wouldn’t want to fuck with me”.
For me this is a total NSV. People noticing the changes that are happening? Yes! Me hearing that my thighs and arms are bigger and thinking of it as a complement (which is how it was meant but still..)? Hell yes! I’m so proud of myself right now.
So please ignore my awkward face and share with me, what made you smile today?
“Ohhhhh, you brought your A game today!”
“I see your 15 reps and raise you 5lbs”
“you’re taking everything I’m giving you and throwing it right back at me”
“Don’t feel bad, if I threw up after a workout I’d feel like a fricken boss”
“You’re throwing that kettlebell around like it’s nothing!”
“Your form is better than mine with that weight, that’s incredible”
“You keep going even when you’re almost on the ground, that’s great”
“When I see you coming in here on your own, it puts a big smile on my face, I can tell you want this, that you want to work for it”
I just really love my trainer, okay guys? He never makes me feel like a loser or bad for not getting something right the first time and he encourages me and pushes me and I’m pretty sure he likes training me because I push back. Whatever he tells me to do, I do it and I give it my all. Now that school is done for now I’m hoping that I can get a more regular gym schedule down.
I just got home from my 3rd (?) appointment with my personal trainer. When I went to the gym Saturday I wasn’t feeling anything really, but today I was. I don’t know if that means I’m not using good form when I go on my own (I use a mirror so I can watch my form) or if I’m not pushing myself as hard as he pushes me or if my body was just too used to the same exercises/weights/reps or what. But I’m not going to get too worried about it. I really need to work on my form with my squats (I’m not doing barbell squats yet, goblet squats and sumo squats) and my shoulders are getting much better at staying back and together (my shoulders are getting stronger! Yay! My posture is improving! Yay!)
Also, I’ve been having issues with feeling very awkward when I go to the gym during the week when I’m not meeting with my trainer. I asked Anna about it and she gave me some tips and I’m going to make a gym playlist for my ipod so I can use my arm band thing (I don’t have anything I can use for my iphone) BUTTTTTTT today when I was making my next appointment my trainer said “It’s so great that you come in by yourself too, that shows you really want it. Every time I see you in here it puts a big smile on my face.” And that made me feel a lot better. I mean I know that no one there is judging me, but when I walk in there I feel like that and I don’t know why, but hearing that just made me feel a lot better.
So now that I’m done with my workout I have work at Wendy’s (my last week THANK GOODNESS) from 10:30-3 then work at DEB 5-10. In between there I’m going to shower, eat, and probably make a list of homework stuff that needs to get done. Then I’m going to attempt to go to bed like as soon as I come home because I have my 8AM A and P lab tomorrow.
Have a wonderful day everyone!
I just got home from running some errands and spending time with my boyfriend’s sister and I started the internal debate “Do I stay home and do homework or do I go to the gym?” I could, my lazy side said, just wait and go to the gym after work tomorrow. But my practical side knows that after working at Wendy’s for 8 hours the last thing on my mind is to rush to make it to the gym before they close. Also, I wouldn’t be working that much on homework. So my lazy side lost and as soon as I change my ass is getting to the gym to do the workout my trainer left for me! See you when I’m done, tumblr!
These are beautiful shoes
I am so excited for this app to come out! I’ve been a backer since October and it’s about to come out at the end of the month! If you’re interested, I recommend getting on the update list, it’s turning out to be an AMAZING game and development process!
“ Running Game & Audio Adventure
Zombies, Run! is an ultra-immersive running game for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android. We deliver the story straight to your headphones through orders and voice recordings - and back home, you can build and grow your base with the items you’ve collected.
Run Anywhere
Zombies, Run! works anywhere and at any speed. You can jog in a park, run along a beach, or walk along a trail, even on treadmills!
Keep the survivors alive
You automatically collect items like medicine, batteries, and ammo while running - but when you’re back home, who needs them more: the soldiers or the doctors? Which buildings need extra defenses? It’s up to you - and the bigger your base, the more missions you can play. “
This app is honestly the best thing to happen to my iphone since spotify.
I think I need to cancel my membership to Planet Fitness and join Gold’s Gym instead. I want to start lifting, but PF doesn’t have a squat rack or a decent free weight area. Maybe on Thursday or Friday I’ll go to Gold’s and talk to someone and see if it would be a better fit for me. It’d be like $60 to cancel PF, but worth it in the end if Gold’s is a better gym, right?

My headaches have been KILLING me lately. My doctors don’t know what’s causing them so we are kind of doing trial and error. Most days when I get home from work I lay down for half an hour and just rest and then do homework. NO MORE. I need to get my butt back in the gym.
So, today after work I will go to the gym. I will go for 5 miles on the treadmill. Running, walking, jogging, whatever, slowing down is okay, intervals are okay, stopping is not. I wanted to post it on here so that way I’m being held accountable for it.
It’s time for me to make the gym a non-negotiable part of my day.
