Earlier this year I couldn't do one pushup on my toes... today in PT I did 7 on my toes and another 30 on my knees!!
I worked really hard in PT today- I nearly didn't go as I was feeling pretty crappy after hearing from the doc. But I thought to myself "why don't you wanna go?!" and realised that it was all emotional and I just needed to get on with it. So I went- and worked bloody hard..
My shoulder muscles are getting more defined.. I love it!
Todays PT went something like this.
skipping with a rope to warm up
step ups with 5kg weights x3
squats with 5kg weights x3
lunges with back leg on step and 5kg weights x3
pushups on step x3
bench press x3
plank x3
plank tricep lifts with 5kg weights x3
side planks x3
I'm going to be sore- I doubt I'll beat my 10km time this Sunday as I'll be hobbling around in pain..
There is still a chance to come on down to Albert Park this Sunday morning for the Queen of the Lake 5 or 10k run. You can register at 8am on the day. Please let me know if you're coming and would like to meet up.. I have bought a pretty green running shirt for the occasion!
Eats weren't that good today- too many "treats" and not planned meals. Breakfast and dinner were good- an egg on toast for brk and japanese dumpling soup for dinner... lunch was just snacky bits and pieces of food from about 10:30 to 2:30...
Tomorrow is Saturday, often a day where I have trouble staying on track. So here's the plan.
9:30 community fitness class
b. porridge with honey, and skim milk and a protein shake
s. almonds and fruit
l. chicken and salad sandwich
s. fruit and yoghurt
d. meat and veg
s. yoghurt or shake (if hungry)
Better be heading to bed... have had an exhausting day.

2 of you love me enough to comment...:
Fantastic news on the pushup front. They are the achievements to stick on your fridge so you can add up how much strength your body has gained. It's so easy to forget the little things like that.
On second thoughts, you wouldn't forget things like that. :)
Well done babe! And I love the hair!
