Yesterday's workout was great. I realized that I haven't been pushing myself hard enough though. So yesterday I increased the weights and did three sets instead of two. What's strange is that the first set is actually the hardest. And I also realized that if I'm not grimacing by the 5th rep in the first set, I don't have enough weight. For instance, I should have been doing all my dumbell rows with 25 lbs. For some reason, it's hard for me to feel the need to really push myself with the upper body exercises. I think that the idea that women aren't supposed to use heavy weights is just so ingrained. A couple of months ago, I thought I was bad ass for doing 15 lbs weights on a dumbell row. Ha.
Our company just had our gym renovation celebration. I didn't win any of the prizes. And they were awesome - garmin, vitamix, gymboss, Ipod shuffles. I really needed a new gymboss too.
