I have completed my first week of the extreme kick boxing workout, and let me tell you it has been extreme! Half this week I have been barely able to walk down stairs or my abs have hurt everytime I move or my arms hurt I can barely lift them to wash my hair, so yesterday at class I was saying "I think I am getting this". I wasn't so sore, I could walk more normally, I thought things were looking up, then we did the cardio/kickboxing yesterday, and I am sore in my legs so bad now it hurts to go from sitting to standing and standing to sitting. But I am feeling a difference at the workouts already in that I can do more sets or go for a longer time doing pushup and other excersies.
I am also very tired, getting up at 4:45am is not fun. I don't think I have been this tired since I was getting up with Sarah when she was an infant. Some of you might think I am crazy, but I actually enjoy getting up and working out so hard. It brings a sense of gratification and self worth that I am getting into better shape and I get me time, which is something a mom doesn't get to much of and don't they say early to bed early to rise...
This morning though I thought I was going to be able to sleep in at least until 5:30am to go at 6:00 (on saturdays, I can go at 6, 8:15 or 9:15, so I will probably always go at 6) but Megan, who has been sick, got up at 4:25 and didn't feel good. I was able to go back to bed for about 40 minutes, though.
Anyway, I am still positive after the first week so I think that is a good sign. Sundays are our "fun days" to eat whatever we want (and sleep in, at least until 7-8!). I will probably eat about the same as I have been, but I have to make cookies for Brent to take to a get together before the preisthood session tonight, so I will most likely have one or two cookies tomorrow! My cookie recipe is awesome, sooo delicious! I will post it sometime and you will have to try it. Thats all for now!
