Half time!!!! I can’t believe it has already been four weeks.... I am feeling so much better. I have lost 2kg in the last two weeks which is great but I have to admit though that I thought as soon as I started exercising again the kilos would drop off a little faster. I can see a difference in my wardrobe and I went for a swim on the weekend in my old bikini. I didn’t turn any heads (yet) but I don’t feel like hiding anymore either!
I also think that I am getting fitter by the week even though my body seems to be constantly sore. I am with Cathy in regards to running, but same here, it doesn’t feel like I am dropping dead after a run around the oval anymore. The bright red face is something I can’t seem to get rid off but I looooove the fact that I am sweating like hell. Sorry, I know its slightly off putting but the sweat coming out of every pore feels really good…
Friday’s hill boxercise had me nearly crack and sometimes during the sessions I thought to myself "why am I doing this?" Afterward I get my answer; the chemical reaction in my body after giving it my all is just such an amazing feeling.
Sunday’s steps are still a killer and I am actually surprised that I don’t have nightmares the night before. But its so intense and at the same time a quick workout that really pays off and it seems we are all improving by the week. I can be a bit competitive and thanks to Sarah I gave it my all last week. It makes such a difference if you try to stick close to somebody - you are my hero girl, your baby is only about 14 -15 weeks and you kick my ass every time! At the moment I am improving my time due to running down the steps quicker rather than coming up faster which is a huge challenge.
I don't think I have ever been quite as determined as I am at the moment - before I was pregnant losing or maintaining weight was never really that hard..... things are different now. I have decided to do more in terms of our ‘homework’ as it is very easy to ‘forget’ about exercising at home after doing 5 group sessions a week. This week I actually set an alarm on two days during my babies naps time to perform my do-at-home program. No excuses anymore.
With the BBB end of challenge party in the diary and my 35th birthday just before that I am definitely going to spend some money and treat myself to a new dress…preferably in the size I was before falling pregnant and I plan to look HOT!
