Sorry everyone for not blogging in a few days! The days just seem to be flying by and before I know it, it is 9:00pm and time for bed. I HAVE to go to bed by 9:00 so I can actually function when I get up at 5:00am. Anyway, by the time I get home and take care of the kids, supper, get things ready for the next day and actually get to sit down, the day is done. Yeah I know...excuses, excuses!
Soooo this week we saw our first cardio days. The workouts were super tough and pushed all of us to our limits BUT we pushed right back! We BROUGHT it, really we did! Tuesday Erica had four exercises on the board and a number of reps to aim for of each. She said they were "modest" numbers...oookkaaaay...Well we had to do as many as we could in 30 secs and report our numbers to Erica. Our goal was to not let our numbers drop and beat them! We all kicked butt! Nice job Moosers! I was determined to get 10 Burpees! I WANTED 10 Burpees. They are elusive creatures ya know. Well I didnt get it in the given workout cycles so Erica said I could still go for it. Shannon planked opposite me and counted out loud as I did them....AND I DID IT!!! I couldnt even do one last week. At our Thursday class for Metabolism Makeover we were sharing a success for the week and I knew that I wanted to share my Burpee success. Hell, I had been telling everyone at school! I would stop people in the hallway and say "Ask me who did 10 Burpees in 30 secs? That's right! This girl!" But during class when I started to share, I got really emotional when I started to say it. I was balling...and not quite sure why. Everyone there was very supportive and so happy for me when I managed to share my success with them. The tears and emotions were very unexpected and really made me reflect on this experience so far.
I think a big part of it was that I have never been able to do things like that. I was never an "athletic" kid. I think it just all the sudden sunk in that I can do this and I can be proud of myself.
We have the weekend off and I am going to concentrate on food. At home is always harder than at school because there are so many temptations and time to think about it. Wish me luck all!
