Week Seven-It's now or never!!!

I walked into Monday's class a little nervous and anxious.  You never know what to expect with these brutal workouts and quite frankly I was still sore from the 100's class.  It turned out to be a buddy class, which is so much fun.  I pushed myself extra hard because my buddy was there cheering me on and my buddy WON last session!!  It is inspiring to hear people's stories and know they were once where I am.  I really need to find a workout buddy outside of Body Back.  I need a workout partner that won't flake and is as committed as I am to getting and staying in shape.  Let me know if you know anyone. J

I did lose another 1lb, which is great!  It is the consistency that makes this whole experience real and really part of my life. To reach my goal of losing 15lbs though, I will have to lose 5.2lbs next week.  I know that is not going to happen, because I forbid myself to be extreme and work out 5 times a day or not eat properly.  Honestly though, I feel great and those 9.8lbs feel like 20lbs, because I am stronger, I look better in my clothes and I have definitely gained some muscle in places I never had before. 

This part of my fitness journey is coming to and end, but it is just a mere chapter.  Body Back 2 will be Chapter 2 and after that, I have no idea.  I better make a plan.  Maybe I will train for a 5k, who knows???

Now, I am focusing for assessment day, which is Monday June 13th.  I have been practicing, but today I am going to time myself for the "run."  I am still weary about starting to run because I want to make sure my knees are not going to give out on me and inhibit my progress for next session.  I plan to power walk the route, look at my time and adjust accordingly.

I will check in later in the week.  Thanks again for reading and thinking good thoughts for me!
