Spent some time at the gym yesterday - went to the pool, did a great 40min weight circuit, hitting my arms and chest pretty hard. Kept the cardio going pretty intense for the whole workout, so I could keep that endorphin high running.
Started out with a 1.5mile run, doing interval cardio, and then did weights, pushing the upper limits for being able to do 8 - 10 reps. Weight increases have slowed down a lot - my upright row has been at 90 pounds for a while now, and while legs are increasing a little bit, up to 280 or so. I don't do a straight bench press, but the machine press is up to about 70 pounds an arm.
Still no abs, with only three days left. That's ok. I'm very happy with my body right now, and possibly happier with my life. It's tough to say that, really, because I don't have a way to track my happiness levels. My life is very different than it was three months ago - I sit taller, stand straighter, and am prouder of my body. The yoga has helped me with my breathing and posture, although I feel like I need to stretch more often throughout my day to maintain that.
