M3:D53 Losing my grip

By Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

Today, after my shower, I looked into the mirror and realized I am losing my grip.  I actually thought that to myself as I looked at myself in the mirror.  Later on some other people told me that I was losing my grip.  I guess I really have lost my grip.

The grip I'm speaking of is my “love handles!”  Yes, for the first time in my life I can look in the mirror and not see love handles hanging off the side.  It was exciting to notice it, but even more exciting that 2 other people commented on it.

I tend to work very hard and to see visible, tangible results makes me want to work even harder.  I joined Lilla's (Lilla: Self-fulfilling Prophecy) Nike+ challenge.  I have my device now and just need to get the shoe wallet and I'm off and running (literally).

I don't have much to say today.  Happy 4th of July to everyone!

Find out what I'm doing to my body!

Today's workout was nice.  I got to my gym my usual early morning time and it was even more empty than usual.  The 4th of July holiday obviously kept some people in bed.  I love when the gym is empty.  It enables me to pull of my workout exactly the way I want to pull it off. Today was no different.  I managed to increase weights on most of the exercises and on those I could not increase the weight on, I did more reps than the last time.  It was definitely a good workout.
