Relax And Trust

Oh the resounding themes in one's life...the Lord keeps sending more and more open doors for sponsors my way...And Adam keeps showing up to teach me to get along with those dumbbells.

My total that I need is down to $2,250. Thanks for all your support in your prayers.

Today I did Decline Bench Press on the Smith machine, four sets 12, 8, 4, 2. The weights I did were 95 lbs, 105 lbs, 115 lbs, 145 lbs, and on my last set, at 145 lbs I probably could have gotten four...and Adam agreed...but being on the Decline is the most difficult exercise. Adam kinda needs to be in two places at once...at my feet to hold me in and at my head in case I get tired with the weight. He was at my head today because I have the strap now, but my foot kept coming out from under the pad that holds you in...so we stopped at two, because he actually was only hoping for one to begin with. So, I was very excited that I went that far over what he wanted...progress, progress, progress!!!!

Cable Single Arm Flies were next (40 lbs). Then I did Incline Bench with Dumbbells (of course). I used 30 lbs (each side)...but I was SOO much more comfortable...I hardly worried about it at all, so much so that Adam even noticed I how comfortable I was!!! It pays to have a little trust in your trainer. It felt really good. Then Bicep curls with 20 lb dumbbells.

By myself was the machine Bench press 80 lbs, 4 sets of 15, Chin-ups 4 sets of 8 (and I got at least below my nose EVERY TIME!), FIVE...count them, FIVE....wrist curls (those seem to be a favorite of his also...he's moving me up pretty quickly), and decline abs, which are my favorite abs to do cuz I pull my bottom half up, while hanging on a decline bench and I REALLY feel them. I had forgotten that I used to do them a couple years ago, until just recently, so I'm back at them now.

Another great day under my belt...with many more to come!
