Okay time for another update....Working out is still going great. I've still been going to the kickboxing class at the gym and I'm still working out at home as well.
Today I went back and tried the 30 Day Shred again for the first time since I finished my first 30 days. I did Level 1 and it went great. It was still an awesome workout, but I can definitely see a difference in my endurance now. I've been working out regularly for almost 2 months! Crazy. Anyway, I did all the moves, no modifications, and powered straight through the bicycle crunches, which were a HUGE challenge for me the first time around.
And I have something else to add that I found kind of "surprising" yesterday. I went to kickboxing class last night and we were using steps. I'm sure you all know what that is, but in case you don't it's just a big, hard plastic step that you use to step up on to make certain exercises more challenging. Anyway, in the middle of class I bent down to get my step and I read something on it. It says, "MAX recommended weight limit = 225 lbs".... Now you might be thinking, "So??? Who cares....What does that matter?" Well, if you recall, before I decided to start this change I weighed 221 lbs... 221 lbs.... So I was only 4 lbs away from being TOO HEAVY to use this specific peice of equipment. That is just astonishing to me. I was TOO HEAVY for something. TOO HEAVY to use something, to use this step. That is just unbelievable. What else was I missing out on because I was "too heavy"? What else WOULD I be missing out if I hadn't made this change??
I'm so happy I made this decision and so happy I'm doing this and seeing stuff like that, while slightly depressing, just gives me even more drive to keep going and be healthy and fit!
