Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 64 and Thoughts on Beforeand After..


Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 64

Welcome to my Monday. Woke up this morning and started with my morning ritual of checking out the results on my little metal box.  Same as Saturday morning, good right? I guess, but I would like to see it go lower.  In time it will!  I didn't get much exercise on Sunday so I was really looking forward my Team Fitness Workout tonight for a few reasons.  

My work is so busy and can be stressful, that is all good though, I love my job,  most days...   My biggest stress there is getting the long list of to dos done well.  Not always easy.  Then there is home.  It is no easy task to balance the personalities in my household.  I live with my hubby, my two teenage sons and my Dad, a Great Dane and 2 cats.  See a trend?  I live in the magical world where even the animals are all male.  I sometimes get in trouble for leaving the toilet seat down... Anyway, balance is a fine art and working out is not only for weight loss but most excellent for therapy.

Tonight's workout was most excellent.  Leanne was not in tonight.  Does not seem the same when she is not there on Monday's.  I am not sure if she was sick or one of her children but either way get well soon!!  Our check in went very quickly with Wes at the helm so we had an extra good workout and about 15 minutes longer than usual.  I got there early and did a 15 min warm up, followed by a kick ass workout that included 25 flights of stairs and many squats followed by another 20 minutes on the treadmill incline 6 speed 3.2 heart rate 125.  I was beat at the end of the workout but knew I would feel guilty if I did not get the prescribed extra cardio in.  Glenda joined me.  It is always more fun with company.  Felt great when we were done!

I found a photo of me taken a few weeks before the start of the challenge.  I guess I really didn't notice the change because I have to look at my own face in the mirror everyday.  I was shocked.  Before and after photos to be posted below.  All I can say is Thank you Team Fitness.  Without this program I am sure my today picture would be very different.
