5 Day Update!


I am in shock of myself.
I am sure that is not grammatically correct but that is the only way I know to say it.  I admit I walked into this program with ton of excitement and I can’t lie- a bit of fear to.  When you start a new program and the Trainer has added in a “Fit Test” BEFORE you start the program is a bit intimidating.  I passed the Fit Test.  I’m grateful that I had 80 Day Obsession as well as Morning Meltdown 100 under my belt before.

Day 3 was a bit strange because I was on Day 3 and it was a REST DAY!  I was seriously questioning why!  I went back to the Coach Test Group that I was in and rewatched the videos that Amoila Cesar had posted.  I was considering moving my rest day to a different day but after understanding the principles and the research behind it, I left it and took the rest day.

Day 4- This was the workout I had heard about and I had read about and I confess I was excitedly nervous.  It was a workout that pushed me completely OUT OF MY COMFORT!  I had shared with you all before on Instagram and Facebook that one of my goals for this program is to NOT QUIT and NOT STOP! Yes, there is a difference.  I’ll explain in a later post.  Anyway, I was sweating and pushing and sweating some more.  By the time I was finished with the CRAZINESS that was the workout I was so pumped up I could have taken on the world.

Day 5- I won’t lie.  I was excited it was 5 minutes shorter BUT I found out really fast that it was just as intense!!!!  His “Burnout Rounds” are exactly what it says.  BURNED OUT!!!  It was amazing!  I was so proud of myself for pushing and doing exactly what he asked!!  It was a lot of upper body and that is exactly one part of me that I need to work on!!!!

I am DOING THIS!!!!  Oh yes, one last thing.  Pictures on Monday.  I took my pictures and it was different this time.  I looked at them differently.  I saw them as “My Beginning Point”.  This was not the time to look at them and beat myself up about what I coulda-shoulda-woulda.  This is the a fresh start and I am going to ROCK IT!!!!



I am looking forward to another week.  I’ll update as we go.  I’m so excited!  I would love for you to join me!!!  Fill out the form on the right side.  Let’s chat!!!!

2 Days In-


I am writing this post on Tuesday night.  I am going to write and share about this journey just like I said I would when I posted about drawing a line in the sand.

Monday was Day 1.  The excitement and nervousness and waking up super early because I was so afraid I would over sleep.  I hit the basement ready to “DO THIS”.  I had ONE goal in mind.  DO NOT QUIT or GIVE UP!  I went in with a ton of determination to do it!  I made it through Monday and I thought I would literally throw up.  I worked so hard and pushed like I haven’t in a LONG TIME!  Apple Watch was going crazy half way through because I had already met my “Exercise Goal”.  All I could do was laugh. I didn’t know that this 50+ year old body could push that hard but I DID!

Day 2- I had an idea now of what I was heading into.  I knew how he instructed and I was pumped up and ready.  My arms and my shoulders are so sore and today was leg day.  My legs are the strongest part of me so I was ready...... at least that is what I thought.  However, I was super glad that I had an introduction into using the sliders and the loops when I did Autumn Calabrese 80 Day Obsession.  Today was literally NO JOKE!  I’m so sore but so excited about this journey.  I may not be able to walk tomorrow and grateful I don’t have stairs at work.

I’ll journal through the rest of the week.  Hope you follow along on this journey!  Better yet, instead of just FOLLOWING......why don’t you JOIN ME!!!!!!  The application is to the right- fill it out and let’s have a conversation.  Conversation DOES NOT equal a commitment.
JUST INFORMATION!!!!
