Getting my body back

[quote name='Kirwan']That's awesome, must feel great. Has the clothes test shown more gains that just the scales?[/QUOTE] 
 
Thanks! 
 
Hell yeah, I'm going on another shopping spree next week, jeans and pants with a baggy bum and legs just look baaaaad. I've even tried on a pencil skirt that was donated. But need new tops too cos have lost a lot off my arms, back and shoulders - actually think I could wear halter neck or sleeveless tops now, I'm really liking where my arms are at. I've got muscles lol.

The great thing about being at your goal is that everything you do exercise wise now will just improve on where you already wanted to be. Fun times.

BartMan

body composition a flash name for BF!! how much muscle etc. 
 
you've won the battle that is for sure - all modifications now are pure customisation!!

Awesome!! and think of the shape you'll be in by summer - you might ditch the bikini and head straight to a nudist beach lol. 
 
Fantastic to reach your goal, a real buzz!!

Mokey

Haha Bart, yep just need to take the old girl out for a spin each day to keep the motor running...

Congrats Mokey. Focus now is maintaining!

Mokey

Thanks dK, yep, for sure. I feel like this is a good weight for me and it's a treat to actually be liking where my figure is at, so maintenance is essential!

BartMan

now for some goals and challenges on using he new bod... Those toughh guy and gal challenges look fun!

Kirwan

Without being the boring crossfit guy, the morning classes I do are 90% female. As you know with your sister, weight training really makes big changes in your body and energy levels.

Mokey

Ooooh. First boxing class after a week off with a wee injury. Lots of hook practice tonight, possibly went a bit hard cos some muscles havent even waited until tomorrow to be screaming.

Mokey

Went shopping for more clothes yesterday. Damn it's nice to be fitting size 10 jeans again even if it's pricey. Boxing again tonight, bring it on, even the couple of hardout chicks who seriously look (and punch) like they hopped straight from an early 80's Bulgarian weightlifting programme.

Watch out for the adams apples and shavelines.

Yeowch, body not in fine form today. Tough class last night, instructor was in a mean mood so had us doing endurance stuff - non stop crosses, jabs and uppers to a techno track we had to punch in time with for 5mins 38 seconds. Other joys included lunge walking up and down the hall and a killer leg lift track along with full arm press ups.

Mokey

Finally had a nice day yesterday so power walked for 40 mins. Tonight boxing class, instructor in an even meaner mood than last time so lots of shitty stuff like camping squats, press ups, shuttle runs, walking lunges, leg lifts and relay sprints interspersed with non stop boxing tracks. Utterly stuffed.

Mokey

Have to say, the whole weighing more but looser clothes is messing with my head a bit. It is now exactly a week til I have to put on dress (yes! A fucking dress!) for my awards dinner, and I am so not confident about the whole thing. Arrgghh.

BartMan

suck it up girl, you'll look great!

Mokey

Lol, thanks Bart. Armed with my Bridget Jones underwear, how could I not!!

Mokey

Yeowch, yeowch, yeowch. Is there anything as shitty as a circuit that alternates camping squats and sprinting? Or press ups and burpies? And that is with all the boxing tracks around it. Arms and shoulders huuuuuurt.

Mokey

All right, here's a question. Anyone else here have utterly crap hamstrings? Or perhaps you used to? If so, some exercises or ideas to strengthen/loosen them so they stop behaving like piano wire would be much appreciated.
