The Good, Bad and the Ugly ~ January 10th, 2014.

Here we go.  January 10, 2015, I weighed in and officially begin my journey with the 2015 Nampa Fit Studio Weight-Loss Team.   Can you hear that?  No?  Listen again, turn off your radio, unplug your buds and listen.  Yep,  that is one loud, deep, exasperating sigh.   Wait.  Yep there it is again.  WHEW!

With a big gulp, swallow, sigh and of stable mind I bring you my official start stats.

I have no words, just emotions, tears and fear.   I am so grateful that I was chosen for this years team.  Last night we had our first team workout together.  We had our chest, arms, waist, and thigh measured, along with, before photos from every angle.  I want to see exactly how my body reacts to this journey and I went topless.  HA HA.. Well not literally, I didn't want to blind everyone with my ginger skin.  I had shorts and a sports bra on for the photos.  I was too scared to ask for photos for myself.  I am not sure I want that just yet.  This photo above is working its mojo right at the moment. 

Then it was time for out first 1 hr long team workout.  Oh My!  My teammates are ferocious and strong.  I have so much to gain from them and looking forward to them pushing me in the right direction.  I wore my heart rate monitor to gage how hard I was working.  Last night was from I was told going to be our one an only get out of jail free card as far as workout effort.  We were to stay around a 4 or 5 out of a max of 10.  I have such a hard time gaging that effort level but I know I did not need an EMT to restart my heart at any moment so I think I will survive another day.  I sweat and got my heart rate up to a max of 178.  Oh yes and SWEAT a lot.  My apologies to the individuals to my left and right for any weird odd odors.  

This will not be easy but it is good exhausting fun.  I had no clue I could do so many squats and then go lower and hold it for what seemed like forever where my legs were shaking involuntarily.  

So, next week..   We go to that 10 level and never look down at the 4 or 5.  So, this little fire-cracker is going to pull her big panties up and get-r-done.
