OK, I'm back & hopefully past the busiest time of year in just a few days. Saturday I'm starting an AdvoCare 24 day challenge... Was just asked today why I was taking the challenge again... I'm like they recommend doing it every 90-120 days as needed. National average is 10lbs in 24 days. Even at a size 4-6 (I had gone down to a 2-4) in July a select few cravings have come back only because temptation of eating them reintroduced the "crap" into my system again & makes it harder to resist bad for you foods. I still suspect that I should easily be able to lose 10 lbs. in 24 days. Putting me into the low 120's & I'm guessing around 18% BMI. We'll see...
Anyways, strength training has been introduced since I started working with Margaret M. A personal trainer & owner of Purely Natural Fitness. Very inspiring. She showed me I thought I was fit & thinner but now should go for the "strong" part. My goal for this year was to lose 50 lbs. & I managed to do that... amazingly I think it has been the ONLY year in as long as I remember that I've actually achieved a NYE resolution. This years goal is to do 10 pullups & a chin up. Not to mention work on a new goal of getting stronger & be able to do an inversion on the pole... like Margaret doing below...
Yeah, who knew they were more than for just scantily dressed women grinding for a dolla bill. I tell you Margaret changed my whole outlook on exactly how strong you need to be to be able to do pole fitness. Hope to get there too. Doing PT with Darren Haag on Monday, he's all about strong & a professional natural body builder! Super excited to ask for his advice on how to get stronger too.
