7th week

What a week...I started the week with pain and cancelling Monday's gym.  Gym celebrated their 1st anniversary and joined forces with the new Lakeland Raiders Arena Football team to promote wellness through Body by Vi.   I am very fortunate to have been selected as a participant of the Body by Vi 90-day challenge.  It's a contest where the Lakeland Raiders pay for 6 participants to use Body by Vi products and exercise through TBC 24 Hour Fitness and compete for a prize.  I did workout on my own on Wednesday and began the products on Thursday.  It has actually been easier than I thought substituting 2 meals for milkshakes.  They smell and taste good...especially when I add fruits to them.  It's like drinking a smoothie.  However, I did not workout on Friday because I was very tired from testing with my students all day. Oh, did I mention that I am a teacher? Well yes, I am an 8th grade inclusion teacher at Mulberry Middle School.   Nevertheless, after resting my legs, I did go to MHS Homecoming football game and really enjoyed myself.  I woke up Saturday with so much energy, that for the first time in a lonnnng time, I cleaned my whole house in one day.  This usually took me 2-3 days to do.  It was a nice cool day and I opened all the windows, put on some music and did some spring cleaning (well maybe Fall cleaning).  So I guess that was my workout for Friday...because boy did I sweat.

I feel I have lots of energy and that is good because then it brings me a positive attitude that I so much need.  This new challenge will be very hard.  It will take me through Thanksgiving, Xmas and New Years which are very big holidays in my family...eating wise.  But I need to do what I need to do.
