Posted new pictures. Sorry for slacking about that, there's just something about the whole picture thing that feels weird and vain. But anyways, it's so powerful. Even though I haven't felt like any physical changes have been happening lately they totally have (I don't have a full-length mirror so I pretty much judge day to day progress based on my biceps). I am so much thinner in the hip/thigh/flank region as compared to my pictures up at the top. I'm so much less curvy, which is totally good. I never really minded/cared about being "curvy" but I always felt the my bottom half was out of proportion for my top half. Now things are shuffling out to be more proportional and I like it.
The inner changes are happening too. Yesterday I did 15 pull-ups with a lot of help from Jordan, but that was more than I've done before. I also did the max reps of everything else except the triceps dips. Firefighting class is getting easier too. The first class we did two reps of the run 1/4 mile, 5 floors of stairs, run 1/4 mile circuit, on Saturday we did 3 and on Monday and today we did 4. It's still hard, I still huff and puff and feel like a slow, out of shape, fatty but it's getting better and I recover a lot faster than many of the other folks, even if they're faster than me.
Yay progress. Go Team Badass!!
omg, huge difference on the pics! awesome stuff. and your updates on the firefighting classes are soooo inspiring.
ReplyDelete15 pull ups is siccccccck.
p.s yes hate photos too. i feel like such a dork. but have to say, it is a good way to look objectively at your body. will never stop being weird though.
HUGE differences in your photos, Haley! Looking good!!! So cool to hear about your progress in the firefighting classes too - interesting that you can recover faster than most! That's good news from a cardiovascular standpoint, right?
ReplyDeletePhew. The hardest part is over. Getting rid of the spare tire sucks but once it's gone the body is much better able to move through space and you can start getting some real burns going on.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Haley be proud! Now let's get LEAN!
Huuuuney! New pics are impressive! And, you're keeping up with the workouts AND firefighting class. Rock on!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the Panarchy analogy struck a chord with you. :) I'll be following you to the bloody end!
Wow, big differences! Congratulations! You are doing fantastic.
ReplyDeleteawesome new pictures! we are cheering you on as you continue to get peak-y-er!
ReplyDeleteNot only do you look great, you sound so strong. Makes total sense to feel weird about the photos, but it is a great way to take a step back. Somehow seeing yourself in a photo is completely different from seeing yourself in a mirror.
ReplyDeleteLooking awesome and it sounds like you're feeling it too. Tell more about this firefighting stuff; it's fascinating!
