Take 2, week 2, day 1: aka day 1 of week 8 getting my ass kicked into shape

Last night I was thinking to myself as I went to bed that everything hurt and I was surprised that my body still hasn’t acclimated to what I’m trying to get it to do.

Today I did 100 squats and 100 heavily modified push ups. I lifted 20# over my head in a strict press 15 times. I cooled down with on the recumbent bike for 30 minutes.

I am doing hard work like this five days a week. But I also haven’t done much for the last year so it makes sense that it’s gonna take time for my body to acclimate.

I have lost absolutely zero pounds, which is fine for now because I know muscle weighs more than fat and I’m building muscle. That can be a little bit frustrating to not see any progress, but I was reminded that this is about more than a number on a scale and SIZE DOES MATTER. I compared my measurements today to my starting measurements and I’m super stoked right now.
Since I started over 7 weeks ago I’ve lost 2″ off my bust, which is fine because who needs that? Not this girl!

And I’ve also lost a between 2-3 inches off my hips. I feel like my measurements were wonky my first time, but I’m definitely loosing inches and getting stronger than was when I started.

Also, alternating arm dead bugs bugs are fucking hard. They may be harder than a 100 squats. They definitely hurt more.
