Enough is enough!



Confession: I've fallen off of the FA wagon... All those weeks of doing so well and one errant Twix bar ruined it for me! I figured, "Oh, I'll just go to the gym tonight and work it off." Well, the gym didn't happen. Then it was another Twix bar the next day, followed by the same gym thought, followed by not going. UGH!! So, today will be different: I have eaten healthy, minus the little sliver of chocolate/caramel cake..., I WILL go to the gym tonight, and I WILL have a healthy dinner of grilled salmon and grilled veggies.

My water consumption level has also fallen. I was up to three bottles, just at work!! And for the past week or so, I've been lucky to even get one in.

There aren't any fun classes going on tonight at the gym so I'm going to kill myself again on the treadmill. And now, after my third bottle of water, I'm doing the pee-pee dance so I'm running off! I'll post my treadmill stats tomorrow, and a "Before" pic of myself - if I'm brave enough....

...DEAD...

We met our friends Mike & Shelly at the gym last night. I thought "Hey, since Josh and Mike are gonna work out longer than I can last on the treadmill, why don't Shelly and I hit the Turbo Kick Boxing class??" I asked Shelly if she wanted to and we happily walked over, with an excited bounce in our step, to the class room. The class is filling up and an instructor that could double as Will Farrel walked to the front of the room. Warm up's were going well and we were confident that we could take the full 60 minutes of the class. Oh, how wrong we were. Will Farrel kicked our butts! I felt like I was dripping sweat from every pore in my body and my legs were made of jello!! After we did our cool-down, we felt a lot better but still feeling like we had to puke. And today, even though I feel like I got ran over by a truck, I'm looking forward to going back and kicking Will Farrel's butt!

Oh, and I don't know why they have this picture on the 24 Hour website because I didn't see ANYONE in the class that looked as non-sweaty or happy about being there as they do!
