Tough Tuesday ~ Tues 28th Feb

Today I woke up with Zero energy!  Also because DD12 is away on camp we didn't have our usual go go in the morning which was a nice change.  

I really don't feel like going to the gym today however I need to just go into robot mode and JFDI.   I have booked it in as my workout so I need to suck it up and just go.  This is the workout that I picked and if I don't do a workout when else will I get to do one?  So I'm off to Fit Box and I had the best session ever!!!  I met a girl who is also new to the gym and so we partnered up and laughed a lot during the session how we couldn't work out our left from our right!  It was great.  I smashed through 579 calories I am sooo happy that I JFDI!  It's true noone ever regret's a workout!

Oh in Fitbox Tim is really strict. He is obviously trained in Martial Arts.  He explains to us that he will never show the low impact option as then people will take the easy road and if you really need a low impact option then people are smart enough to work it out for themselves. Also inbetween partner sparring rounds we have to do group exercises which are a full minute each.  Not 58 seconds not 59 seconds until he saids STOP then you keep going.  If one person breaks it then you start the minute over again.  Today was a killer we were doing squats and at the 58 second mark someone stood up so we had to do it again! Oh boy what a work out!  Now I get why people on the Biggest Looser get so frustrated if someone 'break's' form'.

I posted on Michelle Bridges Facebook page and she wrote a reply ~ WOO HOO!  

Feeling full of energy in the evening and hubby got home early so I raced up to the gym for Zumba.  I'm so glad that I did because I did a PB and smashed 719 calories.  Boy that was a sweaty workout but it was great.  I'm learning a lot of the steps really quickly but I notice that Dave does a lot of routines different to others so everyone is different.  

What was even nicer was a compliment I received tonight when I checked in at the gym. Oli one of the guys on the desk said 'wow your dedicated, weren't you in my fitbox class this morning'?  Oh yeah I was sorry I was sweating so much and trying to work out my own left from right I don't pay too much attention to who is in the class.  How lovely to get a compliment that someone see's that I'm working hard!  I'm sure that helped me get my PB!
