It’s halftime and here’s the score:
Twenty-four days into PLS Summer Training, I am down a whopping four pounds. (212 lbs. to 208lbs. ). But the scale doesn’t tell you the whole story this time. When I was 16 years old, I weighed 165 lbs. and wore a size 34 waist. I am 45 years old, weigh 208 lbs. and wear a size 34 waist. When I started PLS in 2012, I wore a size 41 waist.
It’s called muscle.
I can see muscles in my stomach. I don’t have a six pack. But I at least don’t have a 2-liter.
So how was today’s workout you ask? We got to slap the #$%& out of some tackling dummies. I loved that for some reason. I channelled a rage I haven’t felt since I was tackling quarterbacks a long, long, long time ago. I sweated a lot. Did some burpees, mountain climbers jumping jacks, worked on the weights and did a drill where I had to put the ball in a bucket. That was fun. And I sweated a lot. A lot.
It’s halftime.
Time to evaluate my goals and see what I need to adjust to reach them. What do I need to do to get to the next level? That goes not only for my fitness, but my life and career as well. But I can say without a doubt, I am in the best shape of my life.
I only lost four pounds…but this is only week 2 for teachers. Not muscles…sigh. My husband lost 21 pounds. I can say I feel stronger and I feel BETTER every day. Our group learned the true story behind the mysterious salsa and chips comments today. Firsthand…yikes!! We 6:00 people are amazed when we safe waiting and watching the 5:00 group…keep it up! It’s really inspiring, although a bit scary, to watch you all tackling what we are about to do.
