Checkin' In!

Hey there!
I thought I'd check before going out of town tomorrow morning. I'm chuggin' along here in AZ.
I started going to step class again on Tuesday night, to help push myself towards my goal. It's a Tues/Thurs class and it goes for 45 minutes. I just got home and it was GREAT! A bit tough, but GREAT! I'm really glad I started the class again. It's been a LONG time since I've taken a class at the gym. I've mostly been doing circuit type training on my own. It's nice to have a group of folks all focused on the same types of goals (in a class).

I made some nice observations, that are different from the last time I was taking this same evening class. I'm no longer the "fattest" one in there---not by a LONG shot. (Kinda cool huh? I know I thought so). I'm pretty coordinated now, without all the weight around me (which is also cool--my core balance is SO much better than it used to be). I don't have to work near as hard as I used to (no worries, I'm still working hard, I'm just not feeling like I'm going to die!). I still sweat like crazy, which is a good thing. I am able to do ALL the exercises without rest, using the heavier weights-8 & 12 lbs (last time I was using the 5 & 7 lb weights). It feels good to see progress! I'm happy with that!! :-)

On that note, I am OUTTA here! Time to finish up my packing and stuff. We'll be leaving bright & early in the morning.
Hugs,
Shannon
