Day One ... Monday Morning Kickboxing

I have to admit I didn't get as much sleep as I should have last night! I didn't get to bed until 11ish and than I woke up at 4:30. I was so excited, nervous, and having a little anxiety about my picture being taken and for class I really couldn't get back to sleep. I am defiantly NOT a morning person so it was a little bizarre I couldn't get back to sleep...

I got to Farrell's got my picture taken, (Which I'll post on the first blog when I have it) Then it was on the mat's I was glad that I knew S from testing because it is a little intimating looking around at all these new faces. To me working out is when I feel the most self conscious and vulnerable... "Omg is my fat flying around everywhere", "How big does my butt look right now", "I am drenched I hope people don't think I'm a heifer",... You get the point!! My point, knowing someone was nice! My Coach (who I will call Coach A) was really nice and encouraging so that was phenomenal as well. When the work out got going I remember looking at the clock thinking OMG 10minutes in my arms are already soar and I'm probably going to die! LOL the funny things we tell our selves. Personal Goal: Mentally Encourage Myself. I CAN DO IT and it may hurt but GET OVER IT! It was nonstop cardio mixed with lots of other...fun stuff HAHA. At one point once we moved to the kickboxing portion of it I got light headed and had to step out for a moment. The first intense work out I do when I'm starting back up I always do this. I feel like such a drama queen/wimp when it happens but I didn't feel like I was being judged! I think my problem was...not breathing correctly! Personal Goal #2: Take time to think about breathing CORRECTLY!!

So class went great on my first day. When I got home I let Harley (my 4month old puppy) out and ran most of the way down the street with him and then walked back so he could do his business. Harley will probably LOVE running by the end of the 10 weeks I'd like to do this every morning with him! Today his first day running he did better than I though he mostly jumped while he was running. What a Cutie Pie!!

This program is defiantly going to be challenging and difficult at times but I'm excited. LET'S DO THIS! :)
