So this morning I met my mom down at the gym & worked out with her for about an hour, it was fun to see her on the machines & teach her what I have learned so far, as she has taught me so much since she did the challenge 2 years ago & especially since I started the challenge myself...it was a great start to the day...
Tonight Matt & I met with Julianne, our trainer, for a workout....
I was exhuasted, but I really wanted to push myself & I did....I was pretty sure that I was going to DIE on both the elliptical & bike (when it goes to the highest level/resistance there is, I am sure I have fallen off my imaginary bike & have passed out on the side of the 'road')...anyhow, after getting my heart pumped up & going, I went to the weights & really pushed myself, I am ready to do MORE on the weights!! Towards the end of the workout I got into a silly fit of giggles....I think I am too worn out & tired to not just giggle!!! I was just feeling so awkward & goofy looking sitting on a mat trying to imitate exercises....I swear coordination has left this body & so it was just goofy...
On the way home I told Matt, okay, so I had FUN tonight, it was great to laugh & to just let loose.....I want & need to have fun while I am doing this & not worry so much about being perfect or better, but to just ACCEPT where I am & be in the moment!!! I think that while doing this challenge I am going to discover a lot of things about me, some that I want to face & others that I would rather keep bottled up inside!!! But it will be good, it is a complete overhaul on my body, mind & soul!!!
As I write this, I have the olympics on, watching all these AMAZING athletes & realize that I too can go for gold in everything I do!!!
Go team USA & go us!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the support and song recommendation! Great job to you, and I love the giggling, it is sooo good to let go like that isnt it? See you on Friday, if not before then at the gym.
ReplyDeleteI think we will all discover new things about ourselves, some good and some bad. What I do know is that we will be better people at the end of this :) Thanks for sharing your excitement, thoughts and your encouragement!
