So, managed to get back into all the routines yesterday. Though did find the exercises very hard, especially the pyramid. Using the much heavier weights is a bummer for that one lol. I also started the wave, though at about 8pm I got a weird taste in my mouth, one from not having anything with flavour in it all day.
Today, the exercises went pretty well, I upped the weight for the ICP to 13kg, and this went very well. The pyramid, once again, I found very hard. Both times only getting to level 4 on the way up. Had a few minutes left but was struggling to lift anything at all. I am wondering if it would be best to drop a lot of the weight for this circuit so that I can get the reps done, or keep the weight high, therefore complete less of the sets, but every set will push me. That might be a question I will have to put to the forum 🙂
Went and met Claire for lunch today and the pub were very good with the food, I mentioned all the bits from my choice that I couldn’t have (like chips, tomato, peas and onion rings) and they gave me alternatives, had a lovely salad with my gammon and also extra eggs 🙂
On to the updated measurements.

My Journey Through the MAP Challenge 
Coming along nicely there : )
I think I’d probably drop the weight a little for the Pyramid and try to get a bit further. The idea is to sort of get a cardio workout as well as the strength.
Thanks Deb 🙂
I’ll drop the weight tomorrow morning, maybe just put a little weight on there to get through it 🙂
