Yeah, I know what you're talking about ~ Jully

Today was my 23rd session. I missed Thursday's session to visit the lovely city of Chicago for work.
Since I was still recovering from my cold, Virginia took it easy on me (or so she says!), but I still got a pretty full work out. The arms are very hardest part for me right now, making sure I don't raise my shoulders or tighten my neck.
She asked me if the experience was what I expected and I immediately said no. I didn't expect to liking me the way I do now.
She mentioned how much of an improvement she has seen in me, internally and externally. She notices my posture getting better, but also my gradual growth in self confidence.
She's right, I am getting better at being me.

After our workout I went over to the Tenafly Studio to meet with our Nutritionist.
We've already scheduled our next 2 appointments, and she's going to keep an eye on our http://myfitnesspal.com/ updates. We had a very good session.
MaryEllen from the post natal group was there too. She is MUCH smaller than I am, but it was very interesting that we both had the same issues. Keeping up with the workouts and the right eating has been absolutely challenging for all of us. I gave her (really to remind me) a good pep talk. We're back on track!

The reality has been that I haven't lost that much weight in pounds (really, just 5 until now), but my body HAS changed. My clothes actually take shape on my body. HA! shape + body, this would never be 2 words that could have described me in the past.

Well, Happy Valentine's Day! I spent mine with me, and I was suprisingly pleased!
Ah! one more note, I ran 5 miles today. OH yes... CINCO miles!!!
