Week 6 Recap

So, it's hard to believe that it's been 6 weeks since I started really exercising and dieting! Crazy how time flies.

So this week was so good!

I not only started the Turbo Fire workout, but one of my goals was to wake up and exercise before work and I did it every day last week, so I'm pretty happy.

The workouts are intense, but I can already tell that I am getting stronger and increasing stamina. Once you get all of the moves and routines down you can really concentrate on putting as much effort as possible into the workout, so the past few have been really good. I can't believe how tired I am after finishing, but then I have so much energy for hours on end. The other night Matt and I completed a workout and I ended up blasting music and dancing for another 45 minutes afterward. So great!

So I made the mistake of forgetting to weigh myself on the accurate scale at the jimjilbang last night (Korean spa), so I don't know how I am doing weight wise but I can definitely feel and see a small difference in my stomach, obliques, and arms. I won't take measurements for another 3 weeks, but I can only imagine that there will be some change by then. YAY!

The best thing about intense cardio exercise is the feeling you get when you're done. Even though I might not have lost any weight yet, it feels so good to sweat it out everyday. Not only does your body feel good, you get this natural high from all of the endorphins pumping through your body. I had forgotten what regular exercise feels like. I completely understand how people get addicted to this!

Running was so boring. I dreaded every single step. I rarely broke a sweat with Power 90, and that too was painstakingly boring for me. But Turbo Fire reminds me of why I enjoyed the step aerobics classes I used to take in college: they're so fun. Class flies when you are constantly moving to upbeat music and changing routines every few minutes.

So, one awesome week down of the Turbo Fire. 19 weeks to go! I have 5 more weeks until Malaysia, where I will have to take a break. But I plan on coming back and getting right back into the routine. Hopefully I can keep up exercising with all of the hikes we plan on doing.

It scares the crap out of me that I only have 4 months until I have to send my measurements in for my WEDDING DRESS! Ah!
