Majour accomplishment this week!

I mentioned this before but I need to mention it again with more detail! This week I am officially doing NON-MODIFIED PUSH-UPS! I can't believe it! I swear last week I was tiring easily with the modified ones and then *kabam* I decided to try non-modified ones and at first I did 7 - then modified - 6 - then modified - 4 - then modified. Today I did 12 - then modified - 9 - then modified - 5 - then modified (to exhaustion.) I think what has helped the most is my back and core being strengthened enough to support my body! I'm so proud! It's things like this that give me hope and make me feel uber powerful even when the scale isn't moving. :P

To those who are doing modified push-ups and don't *think* they can do non-modified ones - try it! Suck that belly in, squeeze your core muscles while you do them and you may surprise yourself!

I love doing circuits with heavier free weights. You get your cardio and strength in with less time, boo ya. I don't know why - but I also love the pain/burn I feel as my muscles tire (that sounds twisted... lol.) Next week is yours to kick *kitten*, buddy!
