No really, you’re strong

Had another session with E the trainer. Chest and back today!

I’m smiling like an idiot after E telling me how strong I am. I did 55 lbs chest presses. Both incline and flat on my back with the smith machine.

He said I was strong and I was like “that’s nice to hear” and he starts laughing. He’s says “no, you don’t understand, you. Are. Strong. I’ve never had someone start at this and you are lifting more than a guy I’m training now!”

So we finally got to the chest press machine and he adjusted my weights, starts shaking his head and laughing again. He started bouncing a bit and got really animated counting reps and pushing me. He’s grinning as he tells me “you just lifted 15 more than last week. That’s incredible!”

I can’t lie, I absolutely love having physical strength be one of my traits. I feel so bad ass being powerful!

I also made a deal with E. I’m not going to let my weight training slide with riding season. I promised him at least 2 sessions a week through the summer.

Now I need to work on rethinking how I treat this amazing body of mine. I still overeat way too much. My monthly assessment showed that I’m not following doable hunger to an extent I need to. Time to really ask am I hungry and have I had enough.

Time to level up!
