T25: Week 3 Day 4

I'm really starting to look forward to working out.  After a day like today at work, I could not WAIT to get out some of my pent up frustrations through my workout.  It was Cardio day, a day I think is one of the easier workouts, and during the squat progression the burn of working my muscles was the best feeling in the world today.  Josh joked and said, "don't die, I want to hang out with you later."  But the burn felt sooooooooo good.  I told him, my body will quit before I die.  If it doesn't buckle from under me, I think its still OK.  25 minutes was almost TOO short for me.  I wanted to keep going and going and going.  Exercise is the BEST medicine for sure.  I'm actually happy I get to do double day Friday tomorrow!  50 minutes of pure bliss.  Long week at work = Longer workout. 

One horrible thing about my day - I missed my shakeology.   Its amazing how drained I was and exhausted without it.  I think I underestimated the amount of energy it really gives me.  I had 4X the amount of coffee as I usually do (I was drinking it ALL Day Long) I was yawning all day and I'm still ready for bed as I'm writing this....its 8:45pm.  Part of me wants to just drink one now, but I know then I won't be tired for bed when Nana finally drifts off to sleep.  Plus, I took a half day tomorrow from work.  I need the mental break. 

One fantastic thing about my day:  Josh weighed himself and is down 3 pounds!  (See gentlemen, it works for you guys too!  And he does the modified moves since his knees can't handle the higher impact moves!)  Another fantastic thing about my day - I woke up feeling the skinniest I've been in a very very very long time!  My stomach is getting flatter and more toned.  Which is pretty much the most amazing thing ever.  I was looking at an old picture of me from my senior year prom.  I was a tiny little thing back then but I still had the pooch.  That dreaded pooch I haven't lived without since I was a child.  I can't wait until I don't have to suck in to have a flat stomach!  I think that is probably my #1 goal.  I'm getting there and I'm exactly ONE DAY away from the end of my third week mark which means that this is now a "habit."  For those of you who have followed this blog, and my journey, can you believe it!  It was that simple!  Three weeks of making it a priority, and sticking with it!  If you started with me, you'd be here too!

I was talking to my coach today, and I told her this was the best decision I have made in my life in a VERY long time.  It took one brave decision.  If i wouldn't have, I'd still be stuck in an unhealthy lifestyle, perpetually dreading looking in the mirror!  Now I love looking to see how my body has changed!  I think more importantly, my attitude and outlook has changed, which is much more rewarding.  Today, I was thinking about pay day tomorrow, and about how I want to go shopping....for more beach body products! On our last conference call with all the coaches I found this other product I'm dying to try!  Can't wait to put in my order!!!!
