Ann and I just finished our workout with Chad and for the first time, I felt great when we were done instead of feeling absolutely exhausted! I think in part it is because I started listening to my body (and to Traci who told me that I have been pushing too hard) and instead of working like a crazy woman at each workout I have tried to work hard during my workouts and then put that same energy that I was putting into my workout into making healthy choices with my nutrition. I haven't been perfect, don't get me wrong, but I feel progress! I am feeling good!
Isn't it great to have all of the support that we have during this challenge? I have such a great partner! Ann keeps me on track and focused not so much on the scale but on how much better we feel. She also is so motivating! Ann has done so well! She is almost to her goal! Way to go Ann!!!! Also, I feel like each of the challenge participants are my new friends, not my competition! You are each so motivating! And your progress is so visible! It makes me want to do better!
When I realize that we are closer to the end than the beginning I am a bit sad. But I can look back and see all that we have learned and the progress we've made and I am so glad that I am where I am today and not back where I was on February 11! I know a great future is ahead for each of us and I hope we will stay connected even when our challenge is officially over!
Here's to a great week!
