So, that didn't last long.

I don't think my husband likes to be my trainer. I just get him frustrated. We only did that first week of the strength training.

But, I have been trying to make up my own little, pathetic workouts over the past couple of weeks.

Yesterday evening, I did
5 rounds of
Rowing 250 m
Sit ups on the GHD 20
Back extensions (which I call butt crunches) also on the GHD 15
*I used to do the all the time at the gym in E'green. I wonder why I never just go to the basement and use our frame.

I have no idea how long it took me, but I felt like I was dragging. Each rowing turn was about 75 seconds.

I'm still going.

Okay, so my Tuesday night strength training was a bust because I can't do the movement properly. It was something called- um I forgot. Anyway, I could barely lift the 15 pound bar. And the movement was awkward and I ended frustrated and I also made my trainer frustrated.
Wednesday was a night off with a regular workout.
Tonight, Thursday, was dead-lifts. I am such a weakling!!
I started with 25 pounds and ended with 55 pounds.
I guess that's half my body weight, so I don't know if that's a good thing or if I continue my weak, pathetic performances.

New Strength

Tonight I made Will start me on a strength training program. I think I will get rid of the scale. I am too dependent on it anyway. WAY too dependent. But, I won't let myself gain any weight with it around. We will see if I am able to stay off of that thing. At least cut it back to once each day or something. I am thinking I will record my measurements on here tonight or tomorrow. Would that be so stupid of me? To see if I gain any muscle mass. This is a four night each week program with Wed. off. I guess just doing a regular workout.

This evening I did Squats. 5 reps/3 sets
Weight was 15/25/35 pounds
Then I did Presses 5 reps/3 sets
Weight was 15 pounds
I felt very pathetic at this.
