6 FOR 6

That was an intense thirty minutes!

Boy, I thought I was flying!

After last night, I feel great!

Four times a week is good!

Get your minds outa the gutter!

I'm talking about last nights workout!


So, I programed my treadmill last night for thirty minutes on a level I had never attempted before, and for a while I felt like I could take off in flight...right off the end of the runway, before I had to slow that baby down a little. I kept picturing myself ending up on Funniest Home Videos or Howdy Do It.

I have just completed week one of the 26 week X-Weighted Challenge and already I feel better than I have in months. Since I had never watched the show, I signed on for the online challenge not knowing what I was getting myself into, but so far so good. I have put in three hours of moderate exercise walking every morning and three hours of intense exercise in the evening with my treadmill, elliptical machine and weight bench. I did have to take 20 pounds off the bar as I couldn't even lift it off the rack at the weight I had been lifting the last time I went on a workout binge. Just goes to show how fast your muscles go to puddy when they aren't being used. Hopefully, I will stay committed for the entire 26 week chalenge...we'll see.

  7. Lol @ get your minds out of the gutter!!
    I assumed you meant a workout, I did mine right before reading the 6WS's though so it's still fresh on my mind. 4 times a week is awesome! I try to do at least that too, but there are some days (like then the stupid scale wont go DOWN) that I just want to shrug it off. Thank God for friends that hold me accountable!! Six hours of workouts a DAY?! That's a lot of working out!!!

  12. Congrats! I don't always love the feeling leading up to a workout or during the workout but afterwards, knowing you've accomplished something good for your body is a great feeling.

    Thanks for playing 6WS.
