Not like "oh, don't you have a healthy glow about you" tan - bright orange, Jersey Shore style, ridiculous!
I treated myself to a spray tan on Friday night as a treat because I thought it would make me feel more sparkly. Also I have this whole concept about non food related "treats" that I'm trying to change my thinking towards. What a flipping disaster! £40 to look like a total twat, its Monday night and I am still glowing.... its ridiculous!
My PT Craig walked past me tonight and took my earphone out my ear mid set to ask about the aforementioned tan and the look of absolutely joy on his face was priceless.... Worst of all my legs are four shades darker than the rest of me, they look like wotsits not legs!!
Speaking of Craig, on his advice I bought some wrist wraps to use when training my back. I was finding as soon as I moved onto my biceps (I train back and biceps on the same day) my forearms were locking and I was up and down to the power plate to try and relax them. For those peeps that don't do this kind of exercise, forearm lock is just like cramp - its very odd your muscles go rock solid and dull ache and no stretch seems to loosen it off - shame I've never experienced glute lock, wouldn't that be nice hey - rock hard butt. Sorry off on a tangent... so anyways, forearm lock is the demise of my workouts.
So, tonight Matt very helpfully showed me how to use them (I had one on back to front) and basically take the load of my grip and the weight would hang as such from my wrist. Awesome!! No forearm lock when I went onto biceps and even better I lifted 2kgs heavier in both my up right rows and bicep curls. Now up to 14kgs and 10kgs respectfully. Think I even flexed my gun in the mirror in a celebratory dance, woop woop.
Food is all prepared for tomorrow and got some awesome news that my cousin and his girlfriend, who's just had a baby, have been following my diet. She's lost 1/2 a stone without exercise! Amazing results, and proof that ANYONE can do it. I was nervous about posting it this week after I had said I would but definitely going to do it now - well as soon as I can think of a succinct way to present it. And on that note I have to confess I strayed tonight - jam donut from Tesco...... feel so guilty for it now, wasn't even worth it :-( Bet there will be no blooming 1/2 a stone loss for me on the cards filling my face with jam donuts but only got myself to blame. Actually I'm going to blame the tan disaster, I'm traumatised!!
Night guys x
