Chapter 1: Page 29

Today was the official start to the first Body for Life Challenge of 2018. I got up and went to the gym this morning. I was in the gym at 5:38 a.m.! I got my upper body workout done. I've made notes on what I need to increase the weight on because some of it was too easy for me! So that means I need to increase my weight.  After my workout I came home, got my shower and headed to work. I noticed this morning that I was not drowsy like I normally am when I drive to work.  That was surprising to me, yet good news to me!



On my ride home after work, I was debating whether or not to go to the Core Impact class at the gym. When I got home, I had my mind made up not to go. But, my son was ready to go and asked if I was going. When I started to say no he gave me this sad kind of look so, I went and changed my clothes and we went to the gym.

Walking into the room, watching the guys get it set up, my anxiety started kicking in and my heart rate shot up!! I looked at my son and was like "ughh" . He was like "its all on you!" 

The instructor said he would go over the way it works and then if I needed anything modified he could do it.  It was a 30 minute circuit HIIT  class. Let me tell you what!!! That class had me sweating, not quite the "ugly sweat" but it had me sweating from head to toe! Legs wobbly, arms wobbly and abs still crunched up!!  The next class is on Wednesday but I have my class at Strayer. So for now I will only be attending one Core Impact class.

So a YAY and a win for me! Stepping out of my comfort zone again (with the help of my son).
Another yay for today: I refused three different kinds of pies at work, I refused pizza when I had to go pick up my husband and take him home. Instead I went back to work and made my lunch that I had taken with me to work.  Salmon, broccoli, spinach with tomatoes cheese and dressing. I stuck to my meal plan today! I did not cheat myself! Day one is a success!!! Only 284 days til Jamaica! 284 days to drop this weight! 284 days to get strong ,healthier and happier and smaller me!!!
