Bridal Bootcamp 2- "Pretty shoulders in wedding dress"

We are 5 sessions in, meeting 2X a week with Steve.  I go for cardio and arms or legs 2-3 times a week too.  So far, 10 solid pounds lighter, but sooooo much stronger than when we started.  I am even running on the treadmill. ( I used to be scared of the treadmill and stuck strictly to the elliptical.).  Session 4 had me crying.  I thought I couldn't do both sets of mountain climbers and he wouldn't let me give up...he made me do more! Pretty shoulders in my wedding dress, where fatty mcfatness doesn't hang out of the back is my new motivation this week.

Better than dropping the pounds, is the way I feel. I have more energy, I can fit into my tight jeans and there's room to breathe.  I am wearing my work pants that I had hidden in the back of my closet because they were too small at the start of winter.  I can even tell with how much  longer I can walk around in my heels or boots.  Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of pain, but it's the little things that I celebrate to achieve my overall goal of being healthier.

  Water is our main beverage and cheaper than pop.  I love it.  The plastic cups with straws are all the rage at work.  I refill all day long, and I have no desire to go back to my Diet Coke addiction.  (The straw is where it's at.)

We eat salad daily or twice a day and more vegetables, though I'm still urging Hubs2be on more greens.  I actually like salad, but I can't have the same kind everyday.  I have to mix it up- southwest with corn and chip strips, fruit and poppyseed, mandarin orange asian inspired.  But my absolute favorite- garden salad with fresh tomatoes.  LOVE the tomatoes. Food is broken into carbs, proteins, and fat.  We are even drinking protein shakes. The chocolate WHEY protein from Wal-mart is fabulous! (not so much a fan of cookies n cream)

I'm just proud of us that we are getting healthier and that we have found another hobby together.
