Week Eight- I did it!!!

This morning was assessment day to see how far we have come from the first week.  I was so nervous I could not sleep the night before.  We weighed, measured, and took photos.  Then came the hard part- we did sit-ups, push-ups, side plank, plank, squats, bicep curls, and a run!  I am proud to say I actually ran the entire route and shaved a minute of my time!  Yahoo!!!  I improved in all the other areas as well.  But the run was a huge accomplishment for me and it was fabulous!!!

It also turned out to be pretty emotional for a lot of us.  To actually see the vast improvement on paper really hit home.  During these 8 weeks I would literally have to talk myself into getting a workout in, every single time and I am so glad I did because I feel great!  Of course I have a ways to go, but now I have the tools accomplish my fitness goals and make room for new ones.  Not only do I want my body back, I also want my sexy back!  J

I lost another 2lbs this week for a total of 11.8lbs.  I did 14 sit-ups (the real kind) and 8 (men type) pushups.  I doubled my squats, plank and side plank time.  I came pretty close to doubling my bicep curls too.  We will get our results in Wednesday!  There is a firecracker in our group and she is probably going to win.  She deserves it and I am very proud of all the girls!!  Who freaking knew a bunch of moms could be sooo strong?  I love it!!

I have to say this accountability blog has really made a difference is my success.  Thank you so much for reading it and encouraging me.  I have a week off of Body Back and then I start round 2.  There is a light at the end of my weight loss tunnel!  Hallelujah!!

I will report back on Wednesday!!
