So, what has changed?
- I exercise....and I like it!!! Thanks to the wonderful variety of classes at Sculptures, I have learned to like sweating for one to two hours at a time. Monday i
- s Insanity (watch the infomercials!) and Hustle (I pretend I'm a hiphop goddess.) Tuesday is Rest Day. Wednesday I try to get to Turbo Kick or I do the elliptical at home. Thursday is PiYo(my FAVE) and sometimes BodySmith if Kelly is teaching. Friday is Rest Day. Saturday is PiYo and TurboKick. Sunday is MUST Take a Nap Day. So it isn't daily, but with two hours on some of those days, I feel like I'm off to a good start. It's better than what I was doing before.
- I can do push-ups!!! well, the girly ones with my knees on the floor, but I feel so much stronger already.
- I can hold the plank position for a good length of time.
- I can do a variety of crunches w/o pulling every muscle in my abdomen and w/o pushing myself up with my hands.
- My stomach is shrinking. I can't eat as much as I used to.
- I'm making better food choices. Tomorrow Team Red is starting a Clean Eating challenge. I don't think I can go 100% right now, but my coach has challenged me to go 80%. I think that is doable.
- I am drinking more water and less pop.
- I love, love, love having that time to myself. It is keeping me sane. I have needed to make time for myself for a very long time. I feel that my family is in a good place for me to do this. Is my house clean? No. Is laundry done? No. Is anyone starving or running around naked? Absolutely not.
So, that is what is up in my little corner of the world. Thanks for checking in. Another big, huge thanks for all of my dearest friends and family who have been encouraging me through these life changes.
