First Week Complete

So our first week is done!  I made it through alive!  Saturday was my first "class" that I went to.  I went to the water aerobics class.  It was really fun.  When we were doing the workout I was like this is not that bad.  Oh was I wrong!  When I went to get out of the pool and my legs started to come out of the water I could hardly walk!  It kicked my butt and I loved it!  I am looking forward to this Saturday's class.  I did take Sunday off.  I figured that I had worked hard and I could have a day off to rest and give my body a break for the day. 

Monday was my first time working out by myself and I was a little nervous but I knew I could do it.  My plan was to get up and go to the spinning class for my last workout before weigh in.  Needless to say I did not make it to the 5:15 class!  So I did an hour on the elliptical machine.  Pretty much thought I was going to die but I had it in my head that I was going to do it no matter what it took.  An hour later I finished!  I did it!  I went over 3 miles in one hour.  I was so excited that I made it but I was ready to die afterwards and unable to feel my legs. 

Monday night was our first weigh in and I was very nervous about it.  I was glad when I got to class and I was not the only one that felt that way.  We had all worked so hard this week and we just wanted to see the difference.  Well being the wonderful pink team we get to weigh in first.  My 3 teammates that weighed in before me kicked butt...and now it was my turn.  When I finally got on the scale and looked at the weight I knew that I had lost but I could not remember my full number from last way in so I could not figure out what I lost.  So after what felt like FOREVER they finally held up the board with my loss...5.6 pounds!!!!!!  I was so excited.  My goal I set for myself was 5 pounds so I was so happy to beat that.  It made me feel so great to know all of my hard work had paid off.  Now for this week I want to loss even more!  It feels so good to see that number finally going down!  We also found out this morning that out of the 5 teams we came in 3 place for weight loss as a team.  I thought that was pretty good.

So now we are off to week 2 and I had a great workout today.  We got to box for the first time today.  Those of you that went to South Whitley Elem. will understand this comment.  The trainer that we had for today was new and she was a younger version of Ms. Gill!  I felt like a little kid again in elem school and scared out of my mind.  I think she might have even been worse than Ms Gill.  I would be very happy if I did not have to work out with her again...she just scared me.  I told Andrew that he better watch out now because I have boxing gloves and if he makes me mad I might have to get this out and show him whose boss! 

Before I wrap this one up my husband told me I needed to let you all in on our fun text conversation today.  A friend of mine told me that his wife was so touched on how supportive that Andrew was through this journey and how he is behind me 100%.  Andrew's comment about that..."I like being behind you...It's a great view...Baby Got Back!!"  My answer was just oh lord...that is what I love most about my husband.  No matter how much I hurt or how bad of a day I am having he can make me laugh like no other!  I love you babe!

I don't know how much time I will have to blog this week since I am at photo shoot all week but I would check back next Monday to see what the new weight loss is.
