Start of week 3
The challenge moves into its third week, and yes I am still going. The problem I have found is that everyone and I do mean everyone is doing exactly the same programme on exactly the same day that I am trying to do...which isn't a problem if you go to they gym at 9.00am. Unfortunately everyone appears to go at the same time - straight after work Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The major problem I have found is that if everyone is doing the same part of the challenge - then everyone needs the same pieces of equipment that I do - which is very frustrating when they sit on the equipment and rest between sets. I prefer to do a single set of exercises on each piece of machinery 3 times - as in a circuit. That way you don't rest between sets and you can keep your heart rate up which also helps with the cardio component of the challenge. It will be interesting to see which "version" works best at the end of the 12 weeks.
So I can "moan" or I can alternate the exercise routine. Wednesday I will do the opposite to everyone else and again on Friday. Why stress when there are easy and simple solutions to the problem.
But it was gratifying - Saturday evening I wore a slightly shorter skirt than normal along with a pair of knee high boots and received whistled approval!! for which I thanked the appreciative person...damn it makes you feel good when others notice the results!!!!
And on that note it is time for me to hit the shower and bed, have to have a blood test in the morning - annual service check up. I don't have a cholesterol problem, I've never had it checked!!!!
Hope all continues to be well with you xoxo
