Can I share this morning's achievement?

This morning I broke through the (probably mental) 100kgs barrier on my Barbell Hip Thrust and managed 2 sets of 5 reps @ 105kg . This is the shoulders on a bench one btw !!! I'm so chuffed with myself.

I also managed 2 sets of 5 reps Box Squat with 52.5kgs - my target is half of what my daughter is Box Squatting (Shes a semi pro sportswoman and 18 yrs old!) which is currently 140kg shock.

I know they aren't massive weights and a couple of years ago I would have given up trying by now, considering myself useless for not being able to match my daughters weights by now. But, thanks to a lovely new boyfriend who has rebuilt me after divorce, my mindset is so different and I can be proud of the little steps that I achieve rather than focussing on what I can't do!

Anyone else care to share their own 'chuffed' moments?

Thanks Libby - it just seems a bit silly when other people on here are posting much bigger weights and achievements!

Don't feel silly! I'm proud of myself for hitting 2.5 miles in under 30 minutes this morning, I did it in 29.5 LOL! Not a competitive pace but I keep getting faster and I love that, plus I stayed on the treadmill for another 5 minutes for a total of 2.88 miles. We should celebrate each little victory for ourselves!

Bwahaha - want to talk about small victories? I was super excited this morning to be able to freestyle swim an entire lap without drinking half of the pool.

The people lifting less probably aren't posting about it very often.

It's a lot more than I can ever imagine lifting. Congratulations.
