Day 17 - It takes a while to stick to a habit

I was so sore from the pole routine the other day, I wanted to fit in some stretching but I was hurting so much I decided to skip any form of activities I wanted to do.

I hadn't really noted what I ate as the entire week went through with much of a blur but I know I was eating better.

I also know at some point I have to take a reality check with the scale or the measuring tape. I don't really like confrontations. My fat percentage however is still at 45.6% which haven't drop since a week ago. I don't know if that is a good thing since I don't gain any fats. I seem to think that cheap "fat analysis" meter I bought from China wasn't any good. I can feel my body change even if the number don't seem to prove it.

And I know it because my workout numbers seem to improve today; some more than the other.

4HR Body Tim Ferris Slow Carb Diet - You Dust Yourself Off and Try Again

Yesterday was the pits. Today I decided to redeem myself with my pole exercises.

A shout out to Duke for the pep talk. Thank you!

And instead of just going through the motion, I challenge myself to complete a full 10 reps per set. I only did 1 set of each exercises so I can pace myself to finish the entire pole strength routine. It was not easy. Especially after a day's work, I was tired but I wanted to compensate myself after a break down yesterday. Just so I can feel good about myself and that I accomplish something.

Wednesday's workouts - Pole Strength Routine

Pole Squat - 10 reps 2 sets

Pole Plies - 10 reps 2 sets

Pole Lunges - 10 reps 1 set

Pole Leg Lifts - 10 reps 1 set

Pole Single Leg Squats - 10 reps 1 set

Pole Hold - 6 reps 1 set for each arm (I only managed to do 1 when I started so yea!)

Pole Row - 10 reps 1 set

Pole Triceps Push - 10 reps 1 set

Pole Shoulder Push - 10 reps 1 set (This was a vertical push up with the pole to assist you, I used a chair variation but I surprised myself when I can actually do a full 10. Another yea!)

Leg Hook Side Crunch - 10 reps 1 set

Knee Tuck - 3 reps 1 set for each arm (By the time I reach this exercise, I was tired and sore and my arms was shaking, so this was the toughest for me to complete today. This is kind of like the vertical leg lifts)

A slap on the wrist for yesterday. A pat on the back for today.
