Bit sore

Well, here i was complaining in my last post that i am not happy with my chest measurements and the fact that i have large breasts. I think i must have subconciously set out to torture myself at the gym monday night. I got there after having to talk myself into going as i was just so tired (something that has been happening alot lately). But none the less my gym partner convinced me that i needed to get there, and so i successfully completed 5 minutes on the bike, and then tripped around not really following my program (bad me) but still doing some really good upper body work. I got through 3 x 12 machine assisted press (if that makes sence) at 50lb, 60lb and then back to 35lb, i was impressed that i managed to squeeze it out, i actually thought i was going to cry. Then i opted to do some ab work to save my poor body, and then went back to do some DB fly and got through 3 x 12 at 8kg in each hand. Again impressed with my strength at achieving those weights. I am sure i could get better but i will try that again next time. I shoved in some shoulder work and decided i had enough of that and was too tired to do anymore. My girlfriend was however on the bike still and announced that she wanted to get through the last 20 min of her circut that she was doing. I then decided that i would not waste my time and climbed on the eliptical for a bit of work. I got through 20 minutes of that at a pretty quick rate, churning over approx 90 rpm i think it was saying at approx level 4 on a weight buring setting and i managed to get my heart rate up to 150bpm consistantly. I was sweatting a fair bit in the end and then managed to speed up in the last few minutes - i thought i was going to fall off in the end i was that exhausted but i didnt, however i could not walk all that well in the end when i got off i was having a bit of a leg fatigue where i couldnt feel my legs much at all. Good feeling and i was a bit excited to have gotten to that point.

Which leads me to the pain i was feeling in my chest yesterday, i have never experienced DOMS in my chest before so i was a bit surprised and excited about that. And found it a bit insirational and so i am looking forward to my next chest and shoulder work out to see if i can get there again. But i had to try and get through a game and a half of netball.... To run was an effort in itself, as you all know running causing my breasts to move causing more pain, but then to have to jump and raise my arms and catch the ball. I tired to avoid this as much as possible, but still got it done. Perhaps the best thing i could have done really as today i am feeling good and not sore at all.

And then today i checked out Carolyn's blog and saw that she had posted some before and after pics of herself, and wow she looked good and so now i am all excited to get to the gym tonight to torture myself all over again!!!! I have signed up to do bootcamp with Sue and Jodie this weekend at the gym, it will be good and i am so looking forward to it. For some reason today i have found a new lease on my program, maybe it is cos i have realised i dont have much time before the wedding but i will try try and try harder to achieve some great results in that time.

Have spoken to Michelle and Sue and Michelle suggested some durathon to help with my lack of motivation and exhaustion i am experiencing. Sue thinks it might be a stress related thing with the wedding - which i could very well understand (see previous posts) so i am going to give that a try and see how i go with that mix and hope that it gives me a bit more of a kick!!!.

I think that is enough for today and i will have my rant about Valentines day tomorrow.... I cant stand it!!! (and that is being nice)
