WOW ... I have never felt BETTER!!
That kickboxing class was unreal!! I think the kickboxing side of things actually punching etc. really got out bent up stress from work and everyday life. I envisioned my whole year of grad school while I was going PUNCH .. PUNCH .. KICK ...KICK .... wow it felt incredible!! Exercise has always made me "destress" but wow ... after today's class the destressing was taken to a whole new level! :) I felt on top of the world! The cardio work-out was awesome, my heart rate was up and of course squats were involved. Let me tell you a crunch has never been so painful .. ha ha .. I still hurt from pilates yesterdays so some of the "cool" down exercises were quite intense!
Now for the great news ... I had noticed today that my pants seemed really long .. and they were dragging in the wet puddles ... and then I realized why this was happening .. well ... you got it folks .. my pants were falling down .. never been happier to say it ... but it appears I've passed the "one pant size" mark as I am up to losing 14 pounds ... I haven't really been weighing myself often and haven't gotten into a regular routine of it .. but just when I think of it and after this pant realization I thought hey .. I wonder how I'm doing. ... crazy what can happen in 4 weeks when you change your life.
I'm so lucky to have such a supportive network of people.... it is a definite help. So thank you to readers, those that drag their butts and encourage me to drag mine to the gym on Saturday mornings, those who comment on my posts to give me inspiration and those who just know not to even offer to make my tea with sugar anymore :)

OMG...14 pounds...Emily...the cool thing is that you are well on your way to making a life style change and NOT with a crazy diet that causes you to put all the weight back on and then some. Eating clean is eating healthy and providing your body with what it craves...real food. Glad to hear you are getting rid of the WHITE POSION in your diet (as Tosca calls it). Sounds like you have the exercise bug!!!!!! Way to go. I am so glad you are going to the gym and loving it. We all say how sore we are BUT love very minute of it.
ReplyDeleteYes I am really loving it ... sore .. yes .... that's for sure! WHITE POSIION is tricky to get rid of ... but we're getting there ...
ReplyDeleteyes I agree the eating cleanis easy to follow and just seems to make sense.
Congrats Moxey girl...you look Marvelous. Keep up the good work. We can start the running/club up again???
ReplyDeleteGo Emily!!! That's amazing. Looking forward to another Saturday morning session tomorrow :D
