Wednesdays not only mark the wrap up of a long week, but they mean that it's Pump It Up night. Pump it up is my new favorite class because it gets me away from my comfort zone of cardio and gets me some good time with weights! Over the last week I have noticed that I now enter the area of the gym with the free weights without having to get forced. I am starting to enjoy pumping iron, that's something I never thought I would say!
This week can be summed up in one word: homework. That single word explains my lack of blogging this week and for that I apologize. I have not met my goal of half hour of me time A SINGLE DAY this week :( I am looking forward to my me time tomorrow though, I am going to the Blake Shelton concert tomorrow night with my friend Kenzie. I cannot wait! I promise to post pictures on Friday.
So today I checked mail and got a wonderful surprise from my amazing trainer. Her words of wisdom seem to be the only things that keep me going lately. I love checking my email on Mondays because I know that there will be an email from her with her goals for the week for all of the bootcampers at home. I am counting down the days until I get to go home so that I can kick some butt at boot camp once again. I cannot describe how much I have missed it. Along with a wonderful note I got my first piece of LGN gear, I will definitely be repping LGN at my mini bootcamp this Saturday. Thanks Sara!
Today was also made WONDERFUL by Annie suggesting I borrow one of her shirts. There was just one little problem when she handed me the shirt....it was a medium. So being typical Catherine, I said, Hun, there is no way in heaven that this shirt is going to fit me. She replied with, "I think you might be surprised." Guess what? IT FIT!!! I cannot remember a time when I bought a medium anything. It was definitely my pre-fifth grade years...I just can't believe that I was able to wear it (with room I may add). I am so proud of myself and it goes to show me and anyone else who is eating clean at college that it does work and it is worth doing! All of those ice creams you give up, totally worth the smaller size, stick with it, I promise it is the best feeling in the world.
Me in my first medium shirt since basically forever!
Beginning of a fun night at Saint Johns!
If it weren't for this amazing friend I know for a fact that I wouldn't be where I am right now. She has done everything that I needed her to do for me and keep me from doing!
She:
gets her butt kicked with me at all of these fun, new aerobics classes
tells me that as much as I want it the fro-yo from the dining center isn't worth it
reminds me to pack healthy snacks when we go over to SJU to avoid all temptations
lets me have one treat day a week (she talked me into my old fav coffee the other day...LOVE that)
wakes up at the crack of dawn Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings so that we can get our walk in before our 8 am
eats healthy food with me at the dining center
helps me brainstorm new ideas for staying on track
Keep in mind she is NOT following the same program that I am, but she stands by my side 1000%
I have no idea what I would be doing here without her. When we go out she forgoes things that our friends are eating so that I am not tempted by the group.
I don't think that I tell her enough how integral she is to my success! Annie, I can guarentee you that I will make it to my goal by November 1st and it probably wouldn't be possible without you! OVAL YOU :)
Killing time on the LINK!
My words of wisdom for today are: find someone, wherever you are, that can help you. You CANNOT do this alone. It is a difficult journey, have someone by your side to lean on when you need to :)
Until Friday,
C
