Day 18 | Intense Exercise is Getting Easier


I can’t quite believe it but the extreme circuit training class has gotten a bit easier.   After an hour of grueling jumping, squatting and weight lifting,  I walked towards the locker room and thought “should I steal a few more minutes and do more?”  I quickly dismissed the thought because I’ve been so sore after these workouts.  But I’m curious to know if I will actually be sore on Wednesday or if I’m getting used to this torture.

I am filled with doubt right now.  I am keeping my calories low (1200-1400) and I am working out hard.  I have a lack of confidence at this moment that it’s working.  However, for one brief moment in class today, I felt thinner.  I felt like progress was being made.  Although I am not seeing it on the scale, I felt it today.  And if I don’t get super sore in the next day or two, I will know things are happening.  I need to be patient.  I need to keep doing what I’m doing.  And I probably need to run more.
