Challenge Accepted!

I did it, ya’ll!

4 days of BarreAmped in a row.  I set a goal & I reached it! 

I was dreading (like the plague) going last night to class #4.  I also may/may not have sent this text to my friend Caryn:

But she pushed me to go and I knew I had made public my 4-day in a row challenge and well, I don’t like to fail.

The class was taught by the owner so I learned a lot about techniques, which was awesome.  Although one complaint I will say is that she went over by 15 minutes.  Come on!  I don’t mind going a couple minutes over but I think 15 minutes over is too much.  Anyone agree or disagree?

BTW-How ADORABLE is the studio on Music Row?

So here I am on Friday, my first rest day of the week.  Tomorrow will be a cardio session in my driveway & 2 mile power walk and then a fun night attending a wedding in town.  TGIF!

March Madness

March was a really important month for me.  For the first time since running the marathon, I got into a consistent workout routine.  I was starting to wonder if that was going to happen.

I knew post-marathon I wanted a break.  I also knew I needed to be careful with my in-activity and food activity post-marathon.  I ran the Hot Chocolate 15k with my Princesses (minus Princess Hil – sad face) but didn’t really train.  I was lucky to have had a great race with my girls!

But Barre has really given me a new inspiration.  [Perhaps the fact that bank account is involved has something to do with it?] My friend Caryn is really my motivator, she got me to sign up and she’s committed to 4-5 classes a week.  I’m still working on hitting my 4-class goal this week, but I’m 2 down and 2 to go.

Long story short: Thanks March for giving me a new inspiration and kicking my booty back into routine.
