Workout Marathon

Yesterday, I was on a mission. I had gotten on the scale at the gym after my morning workout with Greg to find that I had lost another pound :). I was thrilled and wanted to keep it up. My workout with Greg was brutal as usual (which I LOVE) and we extended it a little longer than we normally do.

After work, I went back to the gym to give a massage and debated about doing Boot Camp. I had worked out legs and Boot Camp is usually heavy in leg exercises. So at about 5 minutes into the class, I decided to just do it. Greg's Boot Camps are pretty grueling and at the end I had sweat dripping from all over. It was crazy and hard and I loved every minute of it.

But I was not finished!!! Because I am an Extreme Results Client, I naturally had to take this to a whole other level...so I did Spin Class. I thought my legs were going to fall off and at one point thought I might be physically ill...but I did it!

My inspiration for this workout craziness is Charity and Sheila. These two ladies work out so hard every day! They spend hours at the gym working out on their own or with Greg and when that is done, they do the classes. They both inspire me to keep going and to keep going harder, longer and with determination.

During Spin class, the bikes are set up in front of the wall of mirrors. This used to be the "Wall of Shame" because when I looked into the mirror, I just saw a fat, middle-aged lady. But last night, during spin class, I really looked at myself in the mirror and I looked pretty good! My neck was so much thinner. My face was thinner. I had muscles in my shoulders, chest and arms! True my thighs and legs are still way bigger than I want, but I know by looking at the rest of me that its just a matter of time before I banish ALL the fat!

This past year has been one of extremes, so Extreme Results Training and the Extreme Fitness Studio really fit with me. I was extremely overweight, extremely depressed and thought I would never get out of the extreme rut I was in. Then, I made an extreme choice to join Anytime Fitness even though our finances were extremely tight. I workout with extreme determination every chance I get and I am extremely pleased with the results. My live is so much better with exercise. I hope I NEVER lose this drive to succeed and become the best me I can be physically!
