Just Trimming Off the Fat

[jovinni]

Right when I think I’ve got everything under control, I’m reminded the joke is on me. So enough of the planning stage, it’s time to just take action.

I’m breaking things down and focusing on one thing right now, fat loss.

My background:
Weight training for a lot of years. Serious to not-so-serious throughout that time.
Play roller derby and tinkering with martial arts as time permits

I have three boys that keep me super busy, ages 14-11.

My husband is pretty active and is trying to get me into the racquetball court more. I think he’s just trying to make the game more interesting by adding in a moving target but he assures me that’s not the case.

I used to frequent this site and forum quite a bit and I miss it, so I’m back!

I’m going to follow the Kris Gethin 12 Week Daily Trainer on this website as my guide. I workout during my lunch and also in the evenings so I’ll be adding in stuff as I find myself in the gym a second time in the same day.

Monday, October 31st was day 1 of my transformation

Starting stats: WILL BE UPDATED SOON

Note:
"failure" wasn't really failure but it's been a while since having to push myself to that limit so it's a start. Very motivated though.

Haven't worked biceps on their own in quite a while, that was a nice change of pace. Not part of the 'Kris Gethin' program but I couldn't remember what today's workout consisted of so I figured this was safe. Muscles are sore today.

Glutes and hamstrings are a touch tender this morning.

Abs are sore too. Feeling good.

Tuesday I ended up having to miss my workout but ran conditioning for our roller derby boot camp girls. Not exactly strenuous but that’s alright, better than nothing.

Last night, Wednesday:

Cable Overhead Extension 3x10x60
Reverse Grip Pressdown 3x10x30
Rope Tricep Pressdown 3x8x30
Cable Tricep Pressdown 3x8x20
Incline Bench Press 3x5x60
Abs

At Derby practice I ran the girls through a hardier conditioning circuit and stretching

Tonight will be back and biceps and some chest that I didn't get in last night. Hoping to get some time on the mat for a little Judo as well.
