Three weeks ago Hubby came to me and suggest a workout program for us to do together. The initial reaction was surprise but also elation. I had been doing my own workout for some time but had only seen minimal results. Plus I had been wanting him to exercise with me! A buddy always makes it better.
So together we started on our new venture. The first week was a serious bumble. Thankfully, it was during Spring Break and I could collapse back into bed after our 4:00 am endurance test.
Week two was better. I had a idea what was to come and could focus better as well as push myself harder. All the while, staying sore in some area of my body... just changing which area each day.
Week three is now almost concluded and I am seriously thrilled we started this. I just wish we had started sooner. I haven't seen the scale change much but I have seen a change in my shape and endurance ability. Clothes are fitting differently and that post-three-kids body is beginning to loose that frumpy, flabby, flubby feel. I could almost get used to this feeling and look.
The meal plan is what seems to be the hardest part. No carbs except for a little wild rice. Mostly eggs, fish, chicken and veggies. Not that I don't like those things but after three weeks I am craving variety. Thankfully, it will change as we push into Phase 2 of the workout/meal plan.
As Spring unfolds and Summer approaches, I am not looking forward to them with dread and apprehension but with anticipation that this body will be better and fitter. The swimsuit will even fit better... and maybe... just maybe I will have the guts to try a bikini once again...
Only time will tell. :D
