I had to sit out of the Capoeira workout yesterday because of my compound soreness for both last Friday's lower-body workout and my participation in the African-American Day Parade. I wasn't feeling that at ALL. I will begin on Saturday with Edna ...
Well, my body hasn't changed all THAT much, but I'm seeing progress. I guess I'm starting to doubt whether I'll actually be successful at this. Maybe I'm just predestined never to see the muscles that lie just below the layer of fat around my stomach (especially if I eat McDonald's french fries like I did on Monday after work at 2am). *sigh*
Okay, now that the pity party is over, let's be clear. I'm doing this to feel better, so I can do more in life. I AM also doing this to radically change my body, to make it the best it can be. That means I'm going to have to push HARD. My legs are more powerful and are doing more, so I need to concentrate on my upper-body. My workout yesterday was okay, but I need to really focus on my chest and shoulders. I think my arms and back are working it out ... I will do a more smooth and efficient workout on Friday. It is more important to do the exercises right than to do them with a lot of weight and do them wrong.
