JOS 2015 WK 7: Core and Weight time

Welcome to Week 7.

I did a chi running clinic today....I had done one prob 8 years ago.  Today I was pleasantly surprised with my pre-video.  My form has changed and while I was there to reinvest in my form, I have less to go today than I did last time.  I no longer throw out my hips or do a leg whip....very excited to see that in my video.  Seems like other aspect in my life...I still need to work on my RELAXation.  My hips need to let go....

Anyway...as I move to more form focus and now that I have added in some strength training, I have found my core.  I actually have one.  I also found my LATS last week after doing a few sets of pull ups on Wednesday...and then swam on Thursday.  i now know what it means to use your LATs in swimming! image  

Happy Week 7!

    @ann that is fantastic! I look forward to finding my core. My weight is pretty good today consider my Anniversary was Valentines Day. I rode for 8 hours so I probably netted out OK nutrition-wise.

    My running coach is a Chi Running coach. I love the concepts. image Relaxation is not easy for me as my mind wanders...I lose focus. You can do pull ups! I'm so jealous!!!

    Don't be jealous Stephanie!!
    Just so you know I have assistance of rubber bands for my pull ups - just like I "grew into " push ups from knees to assisted push ups with the band now I can do push ups from plank! Gradual progression -
    Pull ups the same way - there are assist bands I use and one day I WILL be able to one day pull my own body weight!!! Up until sept I was a weakling I am now getting stronger by the week!! So excited to see the changes and they have helped in my swim bike and run!

    I am down 3 lbs to 234 today as I did not get on the scale yesterday. The weight's still coming off but after a weekend of poor food choices I need to get back on the plan. It showed it my bike workout this morning, the least energy I've had all OS.

    I got in 3 planks 1:30, 50 stretch cords (2 sets) and 42 push ups last night before bed.

    It's too cold for a naked weigh-in this morning. I spent 20 painful minutes with the foam roller and then Did planks and push-ups.

    I had a good week of weight loss (5 pounds) last week. I have lost 17 pounds since the start of the OS. I have plateaued on my push-ups a bit stuck @180 for the four sets. I'm going in the right direction still have a way to go.

    Good job everyone"

    A bit stagnant on the weight loss for the past 10 days. I basically "spent" last week's pound on: German beer, brats, pretzels, strudel, with a few more calories towards a ribeye steak, McDonalds frys and large coke. There's my pound. Though I was told that I was very grumpy on our long weekend vacation and should have eaten more.

    Core workouts done for the week. Back to back Thurs/Fri. PU's were a little tough today.
