Day 4 of My 30 Day Challenge

So last night Kristen and I did pilates for our workout and can I just say that my stomach HURTS! However, I am not sure if my stomach hurts because of the workout or because we were laughing so much during the workout….I am going with the latter. It is official, K. and & I will never, ever be able to go to any public fitness class together as it is physically impossible for us to workout together and not laugh uncontrollably. Seriously, impossible….especially when you have to do moves like the Seal.

So how am I doing, well I really hate to admit it but I feel awesome. I seriously have so much energy and have been in a great mood for the past 2 weeks that I have been working out and have felt even better the past 4 days. Damn it. I really wanted to get mad at exercising so at least it would be a valid excuse as to why I have not been working out consistently the past few years, but alas the only excuse I have is myself – shoot. But I really do feel fantastic and have an annoyingly high amount of energy…seriously I think I have been a bit obnoxious the past couple weeks (well just a little more than I normally am) and K & T are taking the brunt of it….good thing they don’t mind!

I am also SO thrilled people are starting this, will be starting this, or doing their own version of this challenge! It is so much easier doing this with other people. I even have been talking to people at work and outside the blogs and they want to do it as well.

And as I said before, yes the physical part of this is going to be great for all of us but I am also finding that the working out and sharing with everyone is wonderful for my mental well being and that might be even more important for me and the biggest challenge I face. So thank you all for your support and I hope I can show you whatever support you need!

So on to the weekend! My long workout is Saturday so I will let you all know how it goes. Don’t know what I am going to do yet, but I am lucky because we actually have an exercise on demand cable channel which has a large variety of workouts available to me…..so I am going to give a few of them a try this weekend to keep things interesting.

Good luck and let me know how you are doing if you are taking this challenge!!
