Stepping away from the Safety Rail!

Another Tuesday, another session with Dale. I managed a full 10 min on the treadmill before our session and could have done more. I even managed to increase my speed from my last session which is brilliant! It means that my muscles are getting stronger and I am able to control them better! Which meeeeans that the acute phase of the injury is almost completely gone!!! AWESOME!!!

The whole session was filled with improvements! Increasing weights in almost all of my exercises. Increasing my push ups. Increasing my Plank time. Achieving stretches. And BOXING! Aaaahhhhh boxing! I LOVE boxing! I've MISSED boxing! I can't remember the last time I boxed with Dale... but he was pleased with the progress I've made at home! He used to tease me for punching like a girl (aaahhhh I AM a girl?) but today he said I was punching hard! SCORE! To be honest, it's the weighted gloves I use at home! Punching with the gym gloves just seemed WEIRD! And it didn't cause too many problems! HOORAY!

So, I have one more session with Dale before Christmas... then nothing until the 3rd (?) week of Jan... it's going to be a long couple of weeks! But I am planning on keeping busy. I'm feeling more confident in my recovery and am feeling almost ready to hit the gym on my own again. Certainly to be training at home on my own! Time to dust off the treadmill and get DH to hang my punching bag again! I feel excited! I'm ready for this!!!! I just have to be careful not to go too hard and fast or I'll land flat on my back again!

So, here I go.... I'm stepping away from the safety rail. My hand is still clinging to it.... but I'm slowly stepping away!
