On Friday, I was fearful that I would wake up, sore, unable to move. First thing I did was wake up and check my messages. My new workout buddy, Lady, had messaged me: I am so sore from the weight machines yesterday!. To this I giggle. This girl is in amazing shape. But I worked her. I mean I seriously worked her! She was still feeling it in class today!
I may have my extra fluff but man do I have the moves! So much so that I was barely sore after my three hour intensive on Thursday. That puzzled me! I really expected pain beyond belief.
Another awesome thing is the looks I get from all the girls at the gym. When I bust out for my stretching, I make their jaws drop. Having been a competitive dancer, and at one point a gymnast, I have learned how to stretch. I love stretching. And I have the flexibility still! It is not the flexibility I wish I had (like the old days) but I am working back to it. I already have a small group of followers that I lead in a stretch after we work out. Feels good. This fluff has stuff!
On the plus side, I apparently have lost weight! As I was getting ready for my evening out on Friday, I ventured to try on my strapless bra. To men, they do not understand. But all my ladies, you know when you get to the point when bras do not fit the same way? Yeah, six months ago I could no longer fit into my strapless bra. But Friday night I popped that sucker on no problem! It felt so amazing. My confidence spiked. I am doing this. And it really is working!
I even have gotten to the point where I crave working out-- something I thought would take a while to get back. My body aches for the weights and for the stretches. I honestly look forward to my gym dates on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Lady and Crew for 3 hours. Lady and I joke that we are prepping for the school Quidditch team. Yes, my school has a Quidditch team.
I still have a lot of weight to lose. And I still feel self conscious about how I look. But I am feeling good inside and out, especially right after these intensives.
Songs I credit to my amazing workout sessions:
Trouble- Bei Maejor
OMG- Usher ft Will.I.Am
Around the World- Daft Punk
In the Dark- Dev
Now You're Gone- Basshunter
On the Floor- DJ Caffeine
This week I am looking forward to working out to:
You Make Me Feel- Cobra Starship
This one makes me really want to dance and move.
Alright check back in in a few days!
