Small changes mean the world...

It is fun to see the small changes that are occurring. I went to the community center to do an extra hour of cardio on Saturday....it was really interesting to me....I was one of only a couple people that were actually sweating while working out. There were about 20 people in there, but my intensity level was probably one of the highest. That is due to my training at SWEAT. I love them....don't get me wrong...I still hate the workouts, but I love them.

A couple things really surprised me...every time my heart rate fell under 130 I felt as if I was slacking. What is the point of being there spending my precious time working out if I am going to waste it. That was huge....before SWEAT I felt that a heart rate of 120 was high.

The other thing that surprised me was that I had two minutes left....I thought would cool down...then I thought what a waste...I can cool down walking to the car....wow that was new!!

After I got home something really big hit me....for the first time EVER I did not even think about the stairs going up to the second level at the community center...in the past whenever I have gone to workout I have always had the thought that I would like to take the elevator, but I couldn't be that much of a weak effort!! :-)

Don't get me wrong...I am still the last at boot camp, the slowest at the gym, BUT....I am making progress and that is what counts. I am only working to be my personal best...the exciting thing is that my personal best keeps getting better!!

Have a terrific day!!
