So this week starts week 8 and Warp Speed. It is essentially what we have been doing for the past 7 weeks but cranked up a notch and more strict. I have to say that I am quite proud of myself cause I made a grocery list yesterday of the things I would need, came home and spent about an hour and a half prepping for the week. I actually found it relaxing...weird. But I felt so good about it after, just knowing that everything was taken care of meal-wise. So Ben WAS right...plan, plan, plan.
I thought I was doing well, as far as just eating the meals as is from the plan but let me tell ya...when I mixed up that cottage cheese and pumpkin, I gagged down about 5 bites and then just said, nope I am DONE! It sounds like Em had a hard time with it too:( Nedah gave us a great idea though to turn it into a shake with vanilla protein powder...I will try that on Wednesday and let ya know how it tastes.
Workout wise, I feel like I have been pushing myself. I am swinging the copper kettlebell, and doing push ups on my toes. I have noticed a real difference in my strength. I can do things I never dreamed I would be able to and this is just the beginning. I can't wait to see where I am in a year. I got so many compliments today about the difference people see in me. One woman I work with, who I actually dont get to see very often, left me a sweet card in my mailbox at school that said she noticed how great I was looking and wanted to make sure I knew...it put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. Later when I saw her and thanked her, she said that I am carrying myself different too. I never thought about that but I guess it makes sense.
I hope people know how much I appreciate it when things like that are said or someone takes a minute to tell me "Good Job. Keep up the good work. You look great" I dont know if they realize what it means to me and that it keeps ME going!
Well tomorrow is Cardio Day and I'm guessing that Ben wont be taking it easy on us...so nite nite blogging world
