Its been a while since I've updated. I'm still doing good with everything. I'm still eating right & exercising. Which today was Day 1 of The Biggest Loser Challenge for the Nintendo Wii. I'm doing it for 12 weeks. I'm not going to lie, I struggled with some of the exercises, especially the lunges. But other things, like yoga poses & what they call a "wood chop" I did perfect.
At the gym last night I beat my time record & miles on the Elliptical Machine. I did 5.75 miles in 60 minutes. I could hardly believe it, that I did an HOUR!!! When I first started I could barely do 10 minutes. My previous record for time was 42 minutes and that was before I hurt my back (which is still better than it was, but not great).
I was so really to quit after 30 minutes, but I just felt like I had to prove it to myself that I could at least do 45 minutes. And once I reached that I felt so pumped up that I had to keep going. During my workout I saw someones shirt in the gym that said, "Pain is weakness leaving the body", that really helped me push through a cramp in my foot & leg. And what shirt was I wearing??? A Rocky Balboa shirt.. HAHA! I stole it out of my hubby's closet before heading to the gym. It too added extra inspiration when I needed it most.
Weigh in is Friday, I'm hoping I at least lost 1 pound, I've only maintained the same weight lately. But I'm hoping the biggest loser challenge game will help, especially on nights I can't get to the gym because I don't have a baby sitter.
For those of you who read my blog...
You can do whatever your gut tells you too. Your biggest dreams are there for you, all you have to do is try. The worst that can happen is that you fail. But pick yourself back up & try again. Push yourself past your comfort levels, great things happen when you push yourself harder than you ever have. Don't give up on your dreams.
Good night for now everyone. And for tomorrow... GO STEELERS!! [hehehe...]
