I enjoy life. I don't enjoy it because I have so much stuff, or money, or houses etc. If I waited till I "got there" I would be sitting on my arse wondering when I get to live. I enjoy it because I have a great family, amazing friends and the ability to make choices. Making choices alters the course of my entire life. Its just wonderful that being empowered has flow on effects, and consequences. I made a choice to change my life, and in doing so opened my whole existence to a whole new set of experiences, people, adventures. Frankly, Im excited!
So Im on week 1 of Michelle Bridges 12wbt....and boy what a week!!
Im just so glad I trained to get up early in the mornings because that sucker was never happening without help! Its been an eventful week, with lots of sweating, blowing, marveling at how little food the human body needs to thrive and a hell of a lot of laughter.
This was also a week of new stuff. I popped my cherry at Kimax, which is kind of kick boxing, boxing jumping, pushups, and any other sadistic torture the trainer could put me through. I learned something valuable...take makeup remover wipes or you look like a panda and Kimax trainers dont care if you swear and yell.
I also learned, dont be a dork and book in for Punchfit class the morning after a Kimax class...that my friends, is just madness! Ouch!
I went to a motivational seminar by two winners of the Australian Biggest Loser, Bob and Lara...to be honest something I would normally avoid. They are just people who lost weight right? What can they teach me? Iv'e lost weight so many times they should pay me to teach them how!!! They taught me to back myself, and to believe that I can do things. They also reminded me that other people can touch your life just by being themselves. I was moved despite myself and figured maybe I should shut up and listen from time to time.
I also popped my Jacobs Ladder cherry. I think that one is hilarious!! Its 100 something steps to Kings Park. Now...I know Im not fit and I puffed all the way up that sucker..but people in Perth talk about these steps like they are Mt Everest and to be revered. Oh pullleeeze people... Go to Wellington and see what some people climb up just to get to their front door...its hilarious!!
Weight loss? well I did all the right things, and I haven't got a clue if it worked till weigh in. My focus is on doing the right things and not breaking. We will see where that gets me. Im seeing a guy who is giving me Myofascial therapy for my incredibly tight (but not in a good way) body. The pain in my feet is gone, and I can sit with my legs in front of me with no pain. I still cant sit cross legged, but Im working on that. This man will always be referred to as "God" because of the pain relief he has given me, and because he likes it!
More adventures coming up.....
