Suzi is back from Florida and more motivated than ever to make some serious headway! Overall, she did great while away from home and training at PhysicallyFit. Suzi worked out numerous times while in Florda and was very pleased with her eating. We did not have an offical weigh in for two weeks and when she stepped on the scale Tuesday she was down 4 pounds! Great job and I am very proud of her for doing so well while away. She could have easily thrown in the towel and not have exercised and put whatever she wanted to in her mouth. But, she did not! Excellent job!
Now, on to this week. We had a long talk on Tuesday after her training session about getting very serious if she wants to do this. No more easy workouts, no half way on the eating. All or nothing! You can not out train a bad diet, so don't even try it. We planned out her entire week of eating. When and what to eat for breakfast, mid-morning snack on the way to see me, what to eat on the ride home, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. All great stuff that needs to be planned in advance if you want to succed long term.
I have never seen Suzi work so hard in the gym since we have started and we are 6 weeks in the books, half way point this week. I saw her pushing harder than ever, sweating more than ever and making faces I have not seen before. She did more cardio this week each day and did what I asked of her. Minimum of 25 minutes per session and some days were twice a day.
Major accomplishments for the week. First modified push ups on the ground. All other had been band assisted on elevated on the Smith machine. Suzi has a hard time getting up and down from the ground so floor based exercises are tough to do with her. We are getting there. Also, did our first set of real crunches. I am not a big fan of them, we usually do planks and variations of them. Wanted to show her though that she could crunch up though. Second task completed for a milestone, tire flips. She did not think she could but told her she could and she did it. Third and greatest accomplishment since we started training is jogging!! Awesome! After her stair climb in Hartford she has a lot more confidence in doing things she said she could not do. Made up some great intervals yesterday where we did tire flips, band upper body work, overhead medicine ball slams and a 2 minute jog outside.
Great week overall and no set backs to report!
