Half way there!!

Wow I haven't blogged in a while! SO SORRY. What a crazy couple weeks... let's start from my last post...

I would say half way threw week 3 is when things got difficult for me. By difficult I mean waking up at 5:30 become difficult and I ended up going to afternoon classes. This continued threw week 4! Week 5 is not only the half way mark in the program but it was also the midway evaluation week. When week 5 came around I was determined to get up early every morning... as it turned out I didn't make it to any 6am class! Between being exhausted from traveling all Sunday, to my alarm not going off then when I got up extra early to make sure I'd get to class Miss A woke up so I had to feed her and then missed. Thank goodness I was able to go to afternoon classes all but one day!

        Saturday was the sit-ups, push ups and running day! I knew I would do better than my original evaluation, I mean I wanted to pout in a corner after only being able to do 8 sit-ups. The first thing we did was sit-ups and I was so nervous... I wanted to do SO much better than I did the first time and I was nervous if I didn't more than double my previous number it would disappointed me. I was paired with someone from a different class time that I didn't know, She would get to a certain number and then just stop and say it's only 5 weeks. Even though she beat her previous number I wanted to smack her... Why not just try your best? UGH whatever I didn't let it bother me more than a split second! I was able to do sit ups the entire 1 minute... where before I had to stop at least 3/4 the way through. I was able to do 26 sit-ups!! More than 3 times my previous number. It took every part of me to prevent myself from crying! I was so proud of myself!! Push ups I did 20 more than before.
      When it came to the mile run I was SO excited (Internet sarcasm). I didn't have a time goal but for 10 weeks I wanted to be able to run the entire mile so I made it my goal to run 3/4 or the mile. As I was running you can see the .5 mile mark and as I was running I just kept thinking half way, half way, you can stop running half way. Half way mark came around and that turned into... your going down hill you can keep going to the stop sign. At the stop sign it was you can make it; run the whole way! Then I was trying to determine where to start my last push at the end... After the stop sign there's a double turn like an S after that I kicked it into a sprint to the finish mark... Towards the end I was trying not to fall over; but I made it and improved my time 1 minute and 15 seconds!! This was just what I needed to motivate me the next 5 weeks! I'm pumped to get the 10 week results and I'm hoping to continue with FIT (Farrell's Infinite Transformation) and who knows maybe even the year challenge! So here is my stats below....
