Doing hard things...

Today we pulled the 300 pound sled again (twice!) and did 225 pound sumos! There is nothing like the feeling you get when you do something hard that you didn't think you could do before! It is often only our minds that hold us back. Believe that you can do hard things!

 

Getting active...

I was just looking back through some old pics and came across these. One was taken in Sept. 2010 after I had lost my first 50 lbs. My goal had been to walk a 5k. My sis, Becki, came and did the local Run for Autism with me. The other pic is... from Sept. 2013, when I was down 100 lbs, and we completed our first HALF MARATHON together! Did I believe in 2010 that I'd do a half in my lifetime? Ummm, no!My point is that we all start somewhere. Just take that first step. The next day go a little further or do a little more. Before you know it, you'll realize that the sky is the limit and you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to do!

 

Challenge yourself

Today during our training session, our trainer, Shane, had my friend Mandy and I each pull the sled with (6) 45lb. plates on it....300lbs total with the sled! It was hard, but it feels so good to challenge yourself and see just what we are capable of! Now to keep the eating in line today!

Personal record!

New personal record!! I just bench pressed 95 and then 115 lbs!

 

Not so cute!

You've heard the phrase "If you still look cute at the end of your workout, you didn't train hard enough"? Well, it was a great workout this morning...lol. I love it when you see people from the gym away from the gym and you hardly recognize each other with makeup on, hair done, and "regular" clothes on! Did you get your workout in yet today?
