The end of Week One

So I finished week one! Yea!!!!  I find that very exciting.  Only 83 days of this left! It wasn't easy to get through it and yesterday during my Kenpo workout I felt extremely silly.  All that sparring and bouncing around kind of threw me off balance and made me feel uncoordinated.  So I slowed it down and for the first couple reps concentrated on memorizing the movements and making sure I was doing the moves correctly instead of looking like a frantic, crazed air traffic controller. I have to be completely honest and say that I've had to stop work outs to feed baby Kiwi, and last night I had to cut my Kenpo workout about 10-15 minutes short because she wouldn't settle down with her Daddy.  I just fast-forwarded through to my cool down so I ended properly and that was that.  Don't be fooled, I still feel the burn from my workout, even if I did miss out on the end of it.

I did get to a point last night where I felt discouraged because I wasn't able to always commit the full hour from start to finish without outside interruptions but thanks to the encouragement of some awesome friends, I realized that it's better to break up my work out into two half hour sessions (warming up and cooling down each time) or to miss some of it, than it is to not be doing it at all, and they're right.

Other than the above, I really don't have anything new to report.  My husband is starting to get in the routine of me working out so he asks me when I'm going to do my work out so we can coordinate baby/child care and who is going to do what and when.  We make sure the kids are covered and taken care of so we can both do things that need done personally and around the house, and it's awesome to have great team work like that between us.  I have to say that without his full support, it would make doing this incredibly hard, especially because I'm doing an intense program.  He will come up and check on me from time to time and finds encouraging things to say.

I think I"m going to leave this post at that.  I know, it was pretty boring.  If it's any consolation, I will be posting my before pictures next >.< So be prepared.
