Hi to all of you loyal readers (Mom & Patti). Have a few good updates as last blog was a downer. Good updates... I ran over 3 miles last Saturday in the Dandelion Run in Derby! OMG, I did it! First couple of miles were killer but hell yeah I pushed through! There were some ladies running about 1 mile ahead of me and I told myself I'd catch them, and... I did, and .... I passed them! Wooo Hoo! Ben was proud of us girls who ran and he ran also. Great day overall.
For the last month of our program, Ben has assigned us a 28-day menu & workout regimen that is certainly challenging. In all honesty, the first week was/has been hell. I'm finding the combos are not easy for me to follow and figuring out the subsitutions has been challenging. I have reviewed the foods for the next week and am going grocery shopping tonight to help me stick to it. The workouts have changed and I'm enjoying the running more.
I have had a lot of self-reflection over the last 2 weeks. Let me rephrase that, I'm scared out of my pants as to how I will maintain my motivation after our Moosers journey ends on June 11th. My goal is cardio 5-6 days per week with strength training 2 days per week. My food is not a problem, it is something I will work to maintain but not nearly as much of a challenge as the exercise. I am excited to take on the challenge but scared on the other hand. I know I'll have the moosers support through email and phone if needed and I plan to use it for sure!
I feel great, my clothes are fitting much better, actually, they're too big! I will re-evaluate my goals for the next 3 months and I look forward to this process. I know Mom & Patti will want to do a little bootcamp workout each week so we'll keep eachother on track! :o)
