I know I am guilty of wussing out. For example, I have to do chest presses with the a bar. I could do them on a machine but I feel I get a better workout with a bar. For a long time, I was convinced I could only do the bar with no weight. I do 3 sets of 12 and be proud of my work. I have never gotten the kinds of results I wanted doing this. The past couple of weeks have been about breaking my own boundaries. I threw 5lbs on there. It felt good but I didn't feel a burn. I threw 10lbs on. Slight burn. 15lbs...burn by the third set. By the fourth workout I was doing 3 sets of 10 with 25lbs on the bar!
I have gained so much confidence in the past four weeks of this workout. I feel strong and while I don't know if I've lost very much weight (due mostly to my week and half hiatus) but I know my clothes are fitting very differently. I will be taking my measurements this weekend to see if they have changed much since the beginning.
On another note...I'm now obsessed with workout fashion since I'm spending 5-6 days working out.
I am a major fan of the cropped workout pant. I recently tried on about 10 different pairs of shorts and can't deal with having that much leg exposed while working out...yet. One article I read said that layering long leggings with shorts is an in trend for fitness wear.
My biggest struggle is the sports bra. It is near impossible to find one I like that is also somewhat affordable. When you have a decent sized rack finding a bra that keeps you locked and loaded can be difficult. Feel free to comment on your finds ladies because I am stumped!
