Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 75, 76 & 77


Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 75, 76, & 77

Another 3 days have gone by, day 77 already.  I was off work on Friday.  I had to do a side job down by Science World.  It is teaching worker rights and responsibilities around occupational safety at the Immigrant Services Society.  I really enjoy doing that.  It is amazing when you teach someone something the didn't know and you see the light come on.  This group was excellent and really asked a lot of questions.

Afterwards I planned to go to the gym.  I kept putting it off and then early afternoon I got a bad headache.  The gym did not happen on this day.  Before this program for over 2 years every month around my cycle I would get a bad headache for 3 days.  Almost a migraine, not bad enough to stay home from work but close.  Good News, my Friday headache was gone on Saturday morning and did not return all weekend.

Saturday morning was our TF+ workout.  I always look forward to that one with just the 3 of us.  Well even though this is week 11 we had 2 extra people in our workout.  I was a little disappointed.  I know the promotional time is coming to an end and more people will be joining us but change is hard.  I love our little group.  The biggest downside is that when new people join the workout intensity is much less.  I know I can always work harder but I need to have my ass kicked or I just don't the same burn.  Leanne, I have an idea.  If you get a large in flux of people into your TF+ group than perhaps you could add a TF+ intermediate or advanced group so the beginners can start at a lower level and those who have been doing it a while can keep working at a more advanced level.

On that note; I attended the beginner/intermediate boot camp on Sunday morning.  I was pleasantly surprised when Katherine showed up.  There were a couple other less fit people there too so we fit right in.  It was not so hard that we couldn't do it but it was that much more challenging that I really felt like I got a great workout.  Going forward I might attend that boot camp a couple times a week.

Only lost 1 lb this week.  Going to mix it up a bit this week and go back to a few "none" days.  I am actually looking forward to that.  I am hoping for a bigger loss by next Saturday.   I will be out of the 220's with any luck.  Once that happens I am going to get my hair done and I really need that!  I any event I am now lighter than I have been in more than 5 years and it feels good.  I love now when I buy clothes I have to ask for a "smaller" size.  Such a great feeling.  Thanks Team Fitness.
