Daily Check-in
Good morning! I am still flying high this morning after soaring through my friend’s cardio boot camp class last night! I had the benefit of a new pair of Nike Shox and a suspended wood floor. I pushed myself hard, and I did it! I survived cardio boot camp! I stayed for the entire class with very few modifications! I even cranked out a few pushups on my toes! Glory! It took an act of will for me to get through the core work at the end because I did not have much left to give. My face was as red as my t-shirt, and I was drenched in sweat. I did not look pretty when I left, but I am basking in the afterglow of an endorphin high! I am so delighted! :7
I am not sure if anyone here will understand why I am so excited. I realize that it is nothing for most of you to get through a tough workout, but I have never been athletic. I was in a room full of fitness queens, and most of them weigh a good 70-80 pounds less than I do. It was such a satisfying feeling to look around and realize that I was keeping up with the best of them. Thank you, Cathe! It dawned on me last night that I limit myself needlessly by unbelief and all the negative things I believe about myself and say to myself. All things are possible for me when I believe. Yes, I can conquer the rest of this weight, reach my goals, and see the day when dreams become reality. This is my destiny! Glory! Bring on Drill Max! :7
Susan, thank you for your sweet response to my post in Open Discussion last night. I hope I get to meet you someday and give you a big hug.
Phyllis, I am planning to try an experiment with my next rotation by doing weights before cardio. I tend to lose my form and focus after 30 minutes, so I am hoping this will help. I love cardio, and I think it will be motivating to work first then play! I might need to do cardio before lower body workouts. I would not want to be tripping over the step! ;-) I will let you know how it works for me.
Blessings,
Heather B.
