I signed up for a 6 week class, MEGAFIT, to mix things up in my workout routine. Classes are 2x a week. The first class was good, but I was wanting a bit 'more'. The 2nd class (last night) was awesome and kicked my butt, so I am looking forward to the next 5 weeks. There's a lot of jumping/plyometrics, lunging/squatting, constantly moving & work w/ weights (lighter but fast paced, never ending reps) ...Whole body toning.
This morning I was guided through a workout by a gal who is helping me with my food choices. Holy crap. My body is whipped. I almost felt like I was on the biggest looser. :) I was happy when the workout was over but it felt really good too.
I am expecting good things over the next 5 weeks with the continuation of stellar food choices. I am trying to find the balance of a livable lifestyle and deprivation (or that feeling)... "but I WANT that cookie" :) So far (in the last 2 weeks) I've had a bowl of ice cream. And it was great. I was able to have it, leave it and move on. Not sure when the next time will be, but I almost think that is the beauty of it. If something comes up, or I am having a killer craving, take care of it and move one. I think when I tell myself I can have sweets once a week - I obsess the entire week about what *several* things I am going to have or what I am not having... and then it all just seems so messed up when I o.d. The last two weeks have been kinda freeing. Somehow I realized that I have the choice of what I'm going to fuel my body with, and that I don't want food to control me. (I think Trainer Momma said something like that) -b/c oh boy how it has! I want to be done with that.

I'm not the only one like this am I???
