Day 1 June 21 Day Fix Extreme

So it's Day 1. Exactly this time last year I committed to what we call countdown to competition eating and I did this workout for the first time with a friend and one of my coaches who I was training. The nostalgia for me is that we are both still here one year later! It hasn't been without its challenges. We still text each other every day and as moms, talk each other off a ledge now and again haha. We worry and wonder how we will hold it together for our kids... 

But as I started today the thought I had is that it's ok to be scared. Even as I picked up the weights and pushed play and the familiar X Plyo squats came into view, as I asked myself "You're at this again? Are you sure?" Haha! Then I answered: "Yea I'm here and one year older and actually doing way better physically than last year." I'm way more solid and strong and while it'll be nice to slim down again (you get a different 'look' from this program than say Hammer & Chisel), I'm aiming to Perform better though I'm older!

When others fell away, I was in the race for the long haul. In essence that's what I am - the long distance runner. 

So I did it, and it wasn't so bad! It came back to me. I like that there are 'rounds' and only 30 seconds between each move, a little chance to recover...

See you tomorrow!
