When I went home from training yesterday I was a little sad, which I really shouldn't have been. I worked harder than I had before. Set a couple of PRs (even if they were for 30 seconds), lifted more weights and did more reps, but I kept seeing other people in the gym going so much faster, running or walking on an incline, flying through weights.
Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of myself! I remember being afraid to sweat when I first started and now I'm afraid I'm not working hard enough if I'm not soaking wet. On the weekends I worry about not doing enough exercising and plan my work day around my work out time. I will admit that I am nervous when the Challenge is over and if I'll be able to motivate myself without a trainer? YES!!!!!!!
My family has been great during this Challenge. Very supportive. My husband is so proud of me. He makes sure he's available for me to work out. My 17 yr old son and I compare workouts. My other kids ask when I'm going to work out and when I get back they ask how it was. They do push ups and sit ups with me. They eat all the reduced fat meals I make without complaining and their favorite dessert is my diet soda cake with fat free whipping cream. YUM! I'm very lucky to have my family - I love them all so very much!
And YES, I made it one week without pop!

Good job on the pop free. That is a hard one. I quit about 41/2 years ago. It was not alot of fun. I will drink one occasionally, but not often.
