  "Sunday Nov. 9th: Success! I did 1 session ✔️✔️✔️ + Lateral Shoulder Raises and Tricep Extensions with 3 lb weights. After the 3 days of fatigue, I have decided to modify my commitment somewhat. 3 sessions on non-ASPE days is ideal, but 1 or 2 is still a success. Plus, this week I am starting 3 ASPE sessions, which is a huge win and setting me up for success. So, yay!! "

I am choosing to frame today and the two prior days as productive rest and recuperation. Tomorrow, however, I will kill it!! Tomorrow I am back at it, kicking butt and taking names! Let's do this! "

And even if I didn't do my at-home exercise sessions, I am still counting today a success. because I worked really hard at l'ASPE and I am listening to my body.

  "Winning at Day 5, as well! All three session ✔️✔️✔️, plus add-ons. For session 1, I did the Bicep Curls w Shoulder Raises. I started with the 8 lb weights, which are very heavy! So, I did 1x8 w 8 lbs, then for the second set I did 1x6 @ 8 lbs, then finished with 1x6 @ 5 lbs. As I increase the number of reps @ 8 lbs for the second set, I will be content with 2 sets of 8 reps @ 8 lbs. Until I can keep increasing to 12 reps @ 8 lbs. d Always onward and upwards! For session 2, I added the Russian Twist while holding the 8 lb weight with both hands just in front of my torso. I did a bit more than 2x12. For session 3, I added Standing for Time @ 2:04 (the length of the track I listen to). My add-ons seems to be established now. 1) abs, 2)upper body, 3) standing for time. 1) Alternate btw front of abs and obliques, 2) alternate btw bicep w shoulder raises & triceps w lateral 'flies', and 3) there is no need to alternate, just progress. Great work, girl! Keep it up!"

  "Yet another successful day, and the first day of my November Challenge where I also attended my personal training session. And oof! It was a reeeeeeally good workout! So true to my commitment, I did 2 exercise sessions at home, rather than 3. For both sessions: TR, TS, KL ✔️✔️✔️. Session 1, I added on an alternate upper body exercises to the bicep curls w shoulder raises. This on was Upright rows with forward bend for Tricep extensions. I did 2x12 w 3 lb weights. The 3 lbs were perfect for the tricep extensions, as very challenging to keep good form at reps 9-12, but the 3 lbs were negligible for the upright rows. So I discussed it with my Personal Trainer, and he suggested that instead of the upright rows, I try lifting the weights up from my sides to shoulder height. A little bit like I want to fly. ;) I'll try that on Thursday, because tomorrow is a bicep/shoulder day. Session 2, I added on 'Standing for Time', but I phoned it in as I was very tired. It's okay, as add-ons are 'plusses', but not necessary for success. So, Yay me!! Keep it up, butter cup! "

  "Day 3 was another success! 3 session of TR, TS, & KL ✔️✔️✔️. Session 1 had the add-on of Abs Lean Backs, 1x8 reps, and 1x10 reps. On a 3:3:3 count. Feeling stronger with this already! Session 2 had the Bicep Curl with Shoulder Raise add-on. 2x12, 5 lbs each hand. Still a bit too easy, so ordered some 8 lb. weights for delivery tomorrow. I would have preferred 7 lbs, but they didn't have them. I may need to reduce the reps to accommodate the higher weight, but you never know. Maybe I'm tougher than I think! Session 3 had the 'Standing for Time' add-on, which was exactly 2 minutes. Focused on good posture again, which supports stamina in this. The more I do, the more I will be able to build in more time. Going strong, baby!"

  "Day 2, another success! Did 3 sessions, along with add-ons for each session. All three sessions, TR, TS, KL ✔️✔️✔️. For Session 1, did 2x8 Abs Lean Backs on a count of 3: 3 back, 3 hold, 3 up. For Session 2, did 2x12 elbows pull back (made fists w palms facing down, started with them meeting in the middle in front at shoulder level, then pulling elbows back, staying at shoulder level, until just behind shoulders, then meeting fists back in the middle front for 1 rep). I didn't have any weights with me, but it was still challenging coming to rep 8 or 9. Next time, I think I'll start with 3 lb weights. For Session 3, I added on 'Standing for Time', this time I timed myself by starting at the beginning of my exercise motivation subliminal, and finished at the end of the track, so at 2 minutes 4 seconds. I focused on keeping good posture the entire time: abs tight, butt tight, weight evenly spread amongst both legs and feet, and shoulders back, looking straight ahead."

This was good, but ideally I would have 7 lb weights. I'll look into getting some. 2nd session, added 2x8 abs lean backs. This is challenging, but keep at it and I'll be able to lean back further and add more reps. 3rd session, added 'Standing for Time". I counted to 30 secondes, slowly, before attempting squats. I did one. Tomorrow, when I do some 'standing for time', use my stopwatch in my alarm app on my phone. This was an excellent first day! Let's goooo! "
