Day 6 - If there is no struggle, there is no progress

(Post title courtesy of one remarkable Frederick Douglass)

Wowza! Today was a toughie, but it was fantastic! I'd give Chris a round of applause, but I don't think I can lift my arms.

Oh whoops... I forgot to start at the beginning...

*Alarm Clock*... :-P

This morning, even though I was still very bleary eyed, I was also totally pumped to get back for class. After the first round of measurements/weigh in, I just wanted to get moving again. Anyone who knows me, knows this is kind of the antithesis of my usual mentality. Although I live a very 'get up and go' lifestyle, it's not really by choice most of the time, and in my own time - I'm an A+ Couch Potato.

But things are happening, and when you start to feel things tightening, and shifting, and strengthening, you just want MORE... which is exciting! (And sure makes it easier to get out of bed.Well... sorta-ish).

It was also very nice to have a familiar smiling face join the class this morning. My friend, and very talented local musician Joey Clarkson was somehow (*cough hand up cough*) convinced that this whole FitCamp thing is kind of awesome, so lo and behold, when her blonde hair bounced in to the Bodynetix studio this morning I couldn't help but grin. 

Proud of her for taking this on, and I'm looking forward to seeing her start to feel the way I do about it. Of course, she made the mistake of reading my first week's worth of posts before class, so she was a little worried... but if you've been following along, and at any point have thought "I couldn't do it" - give your head a shake, because you would be surprised what you can do when you get out of your own way.

For folks local to the Comox Valley area - tune in to our station this week 97.3 The Eagle for your chance to win a week of unlimited FitCamp. Does it hurt? Oh heck yeah, for a couple of days it sure does. But you can only ever feel two kinds of pain... The pain of change, or the pain of regret. I know which one I prefer right now.
