Went to my fitness class this morning at 7:30. Didn't want to go, but I ate a handful of french fries and battered fish last night promising myself I would work them off this morning.
Sat workouts usually take place outside...most of the time we train at a HS track. Ran 3/4 of a mile a 1/4 mile at a time...I'm beginning to love running...did 15 min of warm ups and went up and down the statuim stairs 10 times...up and back is considered a count of one. I'm fine going up, but really have to concentrate going down by placing one foot on a step and then using my other foot for the next one.
Did lots of walking lunges and planks plus a few other goodies thrown in for fun.
You know me...open mouth, committ and then think about it later on..with like "what are you crazy girl?" The for real trainer of the Extreme Weight Loss show is training a group tue and thur mornings from 7-8 for the next month before he heads back to Colorado. My friend who has lost 88 lbs and just made One-der-land this week is working out with him. Said the workouts are killer, but he is great to work with with kind words of encouragement that push you past what you think you can achieve. I figured this is a great way to start my 65th year. LOL Some of the former and present constestants are in the group as well as several girls that I trained with for the Spartan event.
The next Spartan event is coming up in April. Its 4 miles longer than what I did with several more obsticals. I wanted to do it, but it is being held in Las Vegas and I am afraid of the heat. My body shuts down when I try to do physical stuff if the temps get much over 80. Since this is a team event again, I don't want to be the cause of slowing everyone down.
I wasn't tired after the last Spartan and don't doubt I can complete the course and the team is disappointed that I won't be there to join them...nice that they want me considering as I am 20 years older than most who are competing. However there will be more races in the coming months and told them I would go if the temps looked good. I don't need to develop a killer headache half way through the race....that wouldn't be fun BOO HOO.
Pull out my spring "some day" box of clothes and everything either fits or is too big ..Yippie Though my weight is the same my body is really changing. Need to do some measuring. Except for a few pairs of shoes there is nothing I need to by to get through the summer. Its been many many years since that has happened...and its great thinking about all the money I just saved. Course I have spent "that" money on my fitness group, but that seems to be a way better investment
