Life is Good!

Don't you just love it when everything seems to fall into place? Everything is going great, you feel good, you smile, and life is awesome? I love it!

Last week I didn't update my workout because it was random and she had me doing a lot of diff things, so I couldn't remember it all! What I do remember is she had me do pushups where you crawl across the floor while doing them. So everytime you come up, you move a hand forward. That was tough! One thing I love about working out with her is that we're always moving, always keeping my heart rate up, always moving to something different. We should spend a bit of time doing the pushups, and then some wall sits, and some core, and then I had to run stairs. And then we did some other exercises (sorry, I cant remember them all!) and then do some more stairs. She always keeps my heart rate up and I just love that. I need to keep better track of that I do with her so that I can go back and do it on my own again!

My workout yesterday was awesome. Leah introduced me to the TRX training program. It's crazy hard!

Okay, so I wasnt as intense as this guy when I did it, but it was hard! I'm very sore today. We spent about 30 minutes on that, doing some where you face towards where the bands are tied, and then away. The craziest one was when she put my feet into the handles. I went into plank position, and then had to pull my knees up to my chest from side to side. That was hard! Now that she has taught me to do these workouts, I can ask someone to put up the TRX for me and I can use it. So I'll have to do that soon so I remember everything she showed me.

After that pain I did 10 minutes on the stairmaster. But the stairmaster that's actual stairs. Oh my! That thing is nuts. I was begging to get off by the end.

I also got my body fat percentage done yesterday. I think it will be a better indication of how I'm coming along than just weight. So I'll do that again in probably 6 months to see how I've done.

I'm back being totally committed to working out, eating better, and just feeling good. I was straying for a while, but now I'm back on track!

I shall leave you with a few photos from our trip to Banff. We met up with Gareth's sister and her husband. We had a blast...I love the Rockies!

Lots of love,
