Well, the first week of the "new me" is nearly complete. I successfully kept track of all my food intake via calories and hit below my calorie goal all but one day. My friend and I worked out 3 times at the DAHLC just like we planned, and we are both definitely feeling it today! We did two strength classes (Mon and Wed) and then we hilariously attempted a "Hip Hop Groove" class on Thursday...yeah, these white girls don't do hip hop very successfully. We are re-evaluating our Thursday cardio plans. We both like the strength classes though, so we will stick with those twice a week. Perhaps a class in the pool on Thursdays? Or maybe just a treadmill or track kind of workout? We'll discuss. Either way, we stuck with it, we made it, we encouraged each other, and we have made it through week one none the worse for wear (except for the muscle fatigue that threatens to topple me every time I go to stand up or cough).
I am feeling good about the life changes, the hubby is very supportive of me and the time it takes to work out 3x per week. My main issue right now is just the muscle fatigue. Apparently, the failed hip hop attempt worked out some core muscles yesterday, which is good, except when you are getting over a chest cold. Now, whenever I hack up a lung (which is on an hourly basis, give or take), I feel like my diaphragm is going to rip in two, so that's fun. Hopefully, with the weekend to rest, we will be good-to-go on Monday to start it all over again!
