I've been meaning to write this post for a while, but kept putting it off.
My name is Chelsie, and I lift weights. I'm not a bodybuilder, but I am gaining muscle, lifting heavier, and loving the hell out of the pain of the gain!
In the past two weeks alone, I've moved up in weight - both in arms and legs. My dad has also been thanking me a lot for helping to keep him accountable by using him as my workout partner and trainer. We haven't missed a day in almost a month, and have started adding supplements to help in our progress.
In addition to weights, tonight I will be adding a few workouts from PiYo to the week, so the schedule will be:
Mondays - Upper body (this changes every other week)
Tuesdays - PiYo Define: Lower Body
Wednesdays - Rest
Thursdays - Lower body (this changes every other week)
Fridays - PiYo Define: Upper Body
Saturdays - PiYo Buns or Core (this changes every other week)
Sundays - Rest
Due to the work I'm doing now, my abs are already changing, my shoulders are more defined, and I'm starting to like the look of me better. Now, if I could just get back on a decent sleep schedule...
We need to get back to eating healthier again, too. Some family members came in from California last week, and we ate out at least one meal - sometimes two - every. single. day. My insides are so messed up, it's ridiculous, and I even tried picking healthier options off the menu. On the upside, we did get a ton of walking in last week, so that may have offset it a bit. Plus, my boss has given me and two of my coworkers a scavenger hunt of sorts to do around campus, to better help us get to know the lay of the land and buildings. On the two days that we worked on that (still have loads to go), we walked over 11,000 steps. Boy, were my legs feeling that! I can't wait to get back into that.
I'm in the best shape of my life, and I'm not just doing this for me. I'm doing this for my husband to have a slim and trim wife, and to be able to keep up with our future little ones, who should be created within the next 6 months to a year (so excited)!
That's all you get for now - I need to get back to work. I promise I'll try to check in more often.
