Haaaaa-uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!

I did it! Hah! Me! I voluntarily (that is *by*choice*) stayed OFF my scale today for the ENTIRE DAY. #1DAYNOSCALE

I honestly do not believe there has been a day in the past 10 years that I have not weighed myself unless it was by force (no scale available). Not a single day.

And this morning, despite the trepidation, despite wanting to cry and throw and tantrum and say "I can do it if I WANT to," I talked myself through it. And when I finally convinced myself that I could step AWAY from the scale, I quickly got dressed and ATE something (pre-gym breakfast) so as to completely ruin any chances of having a change of heart and running back upstairs, stripping down and jumping on ;)

Self-thwarted-self!

That's not to say that I haven't otherwise been freaking about it all day, but I'm dealing, I'm still here, I didn't MELT and I'm pretty sure I didn't gain 12lbs when I wasn't looking.

Tomorrow will be another day, no promises now of what tomorrow will bring. But I do know that today I did it, so I do know that I can choose to do it again.

And now for something completely different!

Training today went squat/bench/squat. Lots of squat. Lots of bench too, who am I kidding. A bajillion paused reps followed by 4 sets of 8 db incline press (also paused, gah) and my pecs are uhhhhh..let's just say *feeling*it*

Legs are too, and really I need to get my ass off the computer and right onto the foam roller, if there's any hope of movement tomorrow :)

And now for your viewing pleasure...

Last Bench - really focusing on form here, trying to keep elbows in, touch lower and keep the arch solid.

  2. As hard as you train, you should get on a RumbleRoller (rumbleroller.com). It gets deeper into the muscle and does a better job of breaking up adhesions.

  3. Hi Ron,
    I had a look at it, had never heard of the RumbleRoller before! It looks like it could be useful...I may just order one. Thanks :)
