Wow, I didnt think it would take me so long to get back to this blog to make another post! So much has happened this week, it's a bit of a blur... I can't believe we are practically one week down of this Round already! It will be over before we know it.
I took Michelle's motto "JFDI" to heart this week and on Monday, I went and signed up on a monthly membership to a gym that runs a lot of Les Mills classes - I used to do these classes when I had a fernwood membership many moons ago and LOVED them. So glad that I did, even though it hurts the hip pocket because I have been to a class every day since I have signed up - well, okay, not including today but I did a boot camp today (which I will get to later). Normally I would agonise about this decision and spending the cash for weeks, then procrastinate some more, then before I know it, weeks and months will go by and I havent done anything! But not this time. I walked in and joined up pretty much on the spot (it helped they waived the joining fee and threw in an extra 2 weeks free!).
On Tuesday I did my first ever Pilates class which was the perfect class to ease me back into group sessions. They turn the lights down low and go at a slow pace so I felt really comfortable there. It was a hard class though, I'm still aching in muscles I didnt know I had! Wednsday had me attempting my first Zumba class, and well... that didnt go down so well. I was too unco and couldnt follow enough of the class to get much of a workout but I did come home and You Tube the basic Zumba steps - I love latin music and dancing so I am determined to master Zumba eventually! The next day was Body Attack - much easier to follow and great fun. My instructor was this HUGE muscley kiwi guy which I was totally not expecting - he was a legend though and made it such a fun class! Can't wait to go back to that one. Next day was another Pilates class then today I braved my first boot camp!
I am feeling so damn good it's unbelievable. I am following my meal plans to the letter and I feel so good on the inside. I can already feel the changes both mentally and physically. I really really really want this to be a lifestyle change.
Oh and my results of the fitness test put me in the beginner category - I have a long way to go, but I am working hard. Exercising every day is still such a foreign concept to me I wish I could bottle the feeling I get after a workout so I have it for those days when my mojo is low.
My motivation at the moment is at an all time high. I almost don't recognise myself! On friday night I had the capsicum & sweet potato pizza, which I had been looking forward to all week but I found that I just wasnt satisfied with it! All the other meals have been such delish hearty serves, I felt a bit gipped when it came to the Pizza. It's made me realise that it wasn't really worth it. Tonight is "treat" night but we're just having a yummy old vegie roast and apple tart for dessert. I was too nervous to eat out in my first week for fear of falling off the wagon!
I am planning to step it up next week, and I am really keen for a loss on the scales. I can feel my body changing already - Tonight I am sitting here wearing a favourite pair of rigid jeans that I couldn't even do up last week... How good is that!? Love it!
Have a great week 2 everyone!! x
