I met Karen Brown at Life Center and we had a great time but it was exhausting. After the first 10 minutes I looked up at the clock and was amazed that only that short amount of time had passed.
They added a new thing to the workout (as if Zumba by itself wasn't enough!) After each song or dance, you had to do 10 push-ups. I did them against the wall, but it was tiring after the 6th series!
My knees are killing me, but I know if I go home and ice them I'll be just fine. I will admit I've never been more excited to have the Sabbath day tomorrow where I get a rest!
I read Taylor's blog and noted that he is putting in weight gains and losses, etc. I made a conscious decision this time around not to weigh myself. I think that would just be more discouraging than anything for me. I'd rather just focus on being healthy and active. For 100 days I think I can do that!
The great thing is that I believe I can do this! Megan asked me today how I felt and I told her in reality, I feel AWFUL! Mostly because of my knees. But I DON'T feel discouraged. I'll just keep going and this will work itself out!

LESSONS LEARNED THIS WEEK:
- make sure the workouts have a good variety,
- try to do your workouts at the first of the day and not make up excuses to postpone it,
- get other people to exercise with you because it makes the time go faster,
- blog every day. It's a nice way to think through the experience and create new and fresh goals for yourself.
GOALS FOR NEXT WEEK
- Find a way to do upper body workout every other day to rest my knee
- Ice my knee every night
- Make plans in the evening for the following days activities
- Get excited about how good you feel!
