Great Day!

Yesterday morning I completed a 45 minute Wii Fit workout. Then, last night, Paul and I played racquetball for almost an hour, followed by 30 minutes of weight lifting. I know I'm getting stronger and that is fun!

Measurable progress.
One of the things I love about weight liftng is, as you gain strength, there's no debating it. When you are able to complete 8-12 reps on arms and 10-15 on legs - even after increasing the amount you're lifting, you KNOW you're getting stronger! I love that!

No ego. Just focus.
I was the only woman in the weight room at the Y last night, but I don't care. As I told Paul, the beauty part of being a woman up there is, I have no ego to protect. I can bench press the empty Olympic bar without feeling embarrassed! You see, it is more important to me to use proper form and build strength gradually. I have no need to impress anybody! I am free to focus on what I'm doing, and that's wonderful!

No sugar.
After having some sugar Sunday evening, I was a bit sleepy yesterday. And that made it easier to say no to sugar!

Victory! One day at a time!
