WEEK 12 - WEIGH IN & BOBBY MAXIMUS

Still carrying around 9 days worth of meals in my gut (although first movements are beginning and very unhappy gut bubbles) I wasn't confident that my weight numbers would be accurate. But despite this I had still managed a loss of 0.4kg, now checking in at 71.7kg. Coach showed me the week 1 photos vs the photos taken today, and for once I actually saw the difference and a 'blimey' slipped out my mouth. I even didn't hide from the mirror for a change like I think I always have done up until now.

One more week to push it as hard as I possibly can before those final results, measurements and photos next Monday. And speaking of hard as I possibly can, I've been doing some reading from the very awesome Gym Jones trainer Rob MacDonald aka Bobby Maximus. I wanted to help sharpen my drive and focus for the hard push of agony this week. These words from "Training through pain, salvation through suffering' really hit a chord and reassured that me my feeling like absolute hell every time I train, and having those "four thoughts" pretty much every time - are actually a good and reassuring thing. This is opposed to my head that's been telling me for weeks that I'm clearly absolute rubbish and not fit or strong enough, especially when I'm less than half way through my session and already want to be sick / stop / die on floor.
Thankyou Bobby :-)
