I dropped Mike off at school today and headed to the gym. When I walked in, Ben waved me over. He told me that he messed up and over booked so he had to cancel and reschedule my appointment. No big deal, he is seeing me tomorrow instead. The great news is, he is giving me an extra session for free this month! YES! It really is a good sign for me when my trainer cancels a session before I do.
I really wanted to push myself today and I wanted to do my full hour of cardio while I was the gym. The first thing I did after talking to Ben was head upstairs to the treadmills. I walked for 30 minutes at a 3.5 pace. Then I headed downstairs to the machines. Here is how I compared to last week. These are all based off of 3 sets of 15 reps.
Work out Last week This week
Chest Press 45 lbs 60 lbs
Pectoral Fly 50 lbs 50 lbs
Shoulder Press 35 lbs 40 lbs
Lateral Raise 35 lbs 35 lbs
Ab crunch 10 lbs
Seated Dip 110 lbs
After I did my strength workout I headed back upstairs and did the other 30 minutes of my cardio, at the same pace. Today I had a great workout.
I get more confident each day I walk into the gym. I'm starting to realize that people are not paying any attention to me. They are there for their themselves and that is what they are busy with. When I left the gym today I felt great! I was very proud of myself for completing my full hour of cardio.
When I got home I didn't want to just crash on the couch until I had to pick up mike from school. Instead, I went outside and cleaned out the truck. After that, I went inside and cleaned the house. Then I had some lunch and wrote today's entry. This is all getting easier and I'm really starting to like it. I'm actually looking forward to tomorrows work out!
He canceled?!
