Start, start, start,

When I first started training all I ever heard about were the lats. They can be the secret to unlocking incredible strength in the Big Three and I didn't know how to properly use them.

Benched a barbell for the very first time. That amounted to 25kg, on my own (wowza!) Also overheard, “She benches more than you.”

I am going to make that a regular thing. I am just so stoked. Every time progress is slow, every time I feel intimidated at the weight room, I remind myself, “Arnie didn’t bench 200kg overnight.” That’s a reminder for everything worth having.

and -0.1kg of fat. I'll take it! Can I hashtag weightloss tho?

In 2 days, 4 different people said I got smaller.

"Hey, look at our short small (petite) girl," said dad endearingly to mum, they both laughed. Then she told it to me.

"I meant to tell you, maybe it's just that you don't wear fitting stuff but you look thinner. Whatever you are doing is working," said a colleague.

What a day. Had 1.5 cups of 3in1 instant coffee and white rice for brunch. Too much simple sugar before lunch. The whole week, all I had before noon were black coffee and eggs.

Training at 2pm - all legs for 45 mins with PT - deadlifts and squats. I should be smashed but I was on a high. Did my own weights stuff for an hour thereafter. I think I was on a sugar rush. Reached home, had something to eat and crashed for 1.5 hours. 

I rarely nap but I was that tired.
