Today, I finished the last workout of the last Stage of New Rule of Lifting for Women...little did I know going into the library back in January looking for Jackie Warner's book that I would instead run across the book that would change my workouts forever!!!
I did get the chin up, I did power moves, I did less cardio, I lifted heavier than ever, I stayed interested, I made a break from people I've been trying to break from, I made a place for myself on the weight lifting floor, I had people get out of my way, I had people make fun of my clipboard, I didn't care, I realized I don't have the ab muscle I thought I might have, I have glutes that weren't there before, I did not a single biceps curl in 7 months, I stayed connected with a friend in another town who I introduced to the book and will finish next week, and I'm ready to start the Original New Rules with her in December.
Whew!

Well, a little different than 225, but I found out that I have a 1RM of 260 lbs. on my squat.

Not the most pretty in the world, but I made it! I'm just so happy, can't quit the grin
Edit: forgot the video:
My cam didn't like the rebound

Yahoo!!! :-D
I can do it; I just have to decide to do it just for myself. Not for an event, not for a competition. Just for me. Eventually, maybe I'll believe all that!! ;) (Nov 2010)
Now I do!! HUGE results in December - now to forge ahead! (Jan 2010)

At 47 years of age, passed the tryouts for the Portland Fighting Fillies professional womens' full contact football team. I improved all my speed tests from last year and am motivated and excited to begin the 2011 season in Feb as the oldest skills position starter in the division.

I so want to do that...Wow!!Originally Posted by bethtwenty4
Victory: This past weekend I ran 5 miles (barefoot in Vibram FiveFingers) without stopping, and was averaging the 10 minute mile. May not sound like a lot but a few months ago I could hardly run around the block without feeling like I was about to die. I never thought i would be able to run for a mile non stop let alone 5 miles.
Challenges: My lower back is starting to act up again, so I haven't been able to do squats or deadlifts with major weights. Started doing zercher squats/lumberjack squats and adding more weights to my lunges and step ups to compensate until I can go and see my massage therapist.

I did the rowing machine on it's highest setting for 15 minutes straight. I love the rowing machine but have never done it for any length of time. My body is wishing I had built up to that as today I can barely move, but that is what I was hoping for anyways.
BTW, I love this new sticky. I feel like I can contribute here, because I def. don't "look the part," but I know I can set new PR's and achievements.

Not necessarily training related, but last night I had to take a new picture for my indoor soccer ID, and I compared it to the one I took in January. And there was a nice difference in my face. Definitely looks like I lost some weight. Funny thing, scale hasn't changed (which is a good thing as well, not great, but good). I guess I have been reshaping more than losing weight. Not what I am looking for, but I will take it for now.

i know it's not that much yet, but i just switched from dumbbell to barbell lifts last week and I deadlifted 135x5 today which meant i got to use the 45lb plates and they made me feel like a big girl.
I don't have time to lift - I make time.

I'm so happy!!!! I know it sounds silly, but I finally got up at 5 am to go to the gym. I can't count the number of times I have tried this and just turned my alarm off and rolled over and went back to sleep. But today I made it!!!! WOOHOO!!!

This is going to sound like the most ridiculous "victory" ever, but... I have this really big, really heavy old calphalon skillet. It's always been a pain in the ass to wash because it's so unwieldy. I suddenly realized last night as I was cleaning it, holding it over the sink with my left hand (my weaker side) and rinsing it with the sprayer, that it didn't feel heavy at all anymore. I was like, "oh, looky here, functional strength!" and that made me happy. hahaha
