Thursday (2/9/06)

Today I started my day with a powerbar and coffee. No I haven’t gotten rid of the coffee yet. It’s not laced with chocolate anymore, so I’m giving myself a little credit there. Then after rushing around to get Grace to school and stuff I rushed on over to the gym just to be there in time for Group Power. I’m telling you this is a great class!! It has all the fun music of an aerobics class without the bopping around, but instead very empowering resistance training. Resistance training sounds impressive ( I actually picked it up from listening in on the real athletes lingo) but it simply means you lift light to moderate weights. While I’ve probably just made it sound boring but it is tons of fun. But my favorite part by far was the inspiration provided by the instructor – Shelly Weiss. When I grow up I want to be just like her!!! She had on cool yoga pants and a midriff workout shirt. So there was my inspiration! She has rockin’ abs and a pierced belly button! So while I may be ruthlessly optimistic I’m adding it to my list. When I finish this thing all the way to my goal I’m determined to have abs like hers! And while I may not show it to anyone other than my husband – I just may get my belly button pierced!
