Belt Please!...wait, What?

     Week 1 of Farrell's is almost to an end and I know it seems bizarre and unlikely but yes I need a belt to keep my jeans up! I bought a pair of jeans 2 weeks ago (what was I thinking knowing a week later I would be starting FXB?!) well those jeans and all my others require a belt or to be pulled up constantly! CRAZINESS

    On our first upper body resistance (bands) day I was worried about a photo shoot that was scheduled later that morning. I was worried my arms would be so soar I wouldn't be able to hold my camera up! Thank goodness I was able to! All of the instructors have been great so far they and I love that when they are showing you how to do the particular move (or exercise) correctly they don't point you out and make you feel like an idiot! And let's face it mostly all of us newbies need corrected on our "technique" at this point! I can already do more sit ups and push ups in a minute than when I did my initial evaluation. As far as the work outs go they are awesome... even though I don't quite have the technique down, I know it will come with time. I unfortunately can't attend the techniques class tomorrow since they only have it once and it happens to be on a Saturday (which conflicts with a wedding so I have to go to the 6am resistance class).

    As far as eating goes... It seems like I eat more than I did before I started FXB and it's amazing that in a weeks time I've discovered new things that SURPRISE I really enjoy eating and here's the kicker it's HEALTHY! The biggest challenge for me I knew would be drinking enough water! I hate water unless it's FREEZING cold. In the first week I've done A LOT better than I thought! Today I've already drank the recommended amount of water and it's not even 5pm!!

    What else has changed in this first week? I doesn't quite make sense that when I am getting up early and being a lot more active than "normal" that I have more energy and motivation to do a lot more things! After FXB in the morning I get home and grab Harley (our puppy) and take him for a walk around the block (which I would like to figure out how far it is). Then when I get home I clean something... dishes, laundry, today I weeded my front yard an activity I don't think I've done in the past 5-10 years. I'm sure my husband is thanking his lucky stars.

It's been an amazing and successful first week I'm thrilled to see what the next 9 weeks has in store for me!

New Personal Goal #1: Make a conscious effort to keep my "core" tight! 
Goal #2: Food diary!
