Change is good for the soul!

I feel so good today!  It's been an amazing workout week!  I haven't needed the alarm once to get up at 5:30 for workouts.  I am actually excited to get up and go to the gym.  Even a month ago, it didn't feel quite like that, I was thrilled once I was there and going, but the getting there was still hard at times.  I have had the support of my amazing muscle clad trainer, my sweet friend Jaelyn, who wakes up at the crack of dawn to go with me even though she really doesn't "need" to be there, and the people at the gym who always say the kindest, most supportive things.  It's no wonder I'm excited to go;)
Well, lots has happened over the past couple of weeks.  I have upped my calories and my cardio significantly, and it's been a very good thing! I was only loosing a pound every couple of weeks at best, up until making this change. Now for two weeks in a row I have lost 2 lbs. That is very happy news for me of course.  I think I found "my sweet spot" as my health coach Heather put it. And boy is it sweet! lol
I am still working out with my trainer Travis, every Mon, Wed, and Fri. But I did insanity for several days a couple of weeks ago with some friends, but had to put that on hold for a bit, till my schedule slackens some.  But boy was that a super great workout! One of my friends, Jessica, has been doing insanity for several weeks now and has seen amazing results, so she asked me if I wanted to do it with her.  I really loved the workouts, and I was really surprised at my ability to keep up. It was a power workout, and it was hard, but I did it and it felt so good! Insanity is on the side burner for a bit, then I am starting up again.
My calories went from 1400, to between 2200_2500. It's hard still to eat that much, but I'm trying to give my body the right kind of fuel and I feel so much more energy and stamina during my days.  I blew up my kid's swimming pool today with my very own lungs, and I didn't die! lol

I am still learning so much from my foot zoner, and my health coach.  They never cease to amazing me how  knowledgeable they are, while they kindly and humbly share things that make such a huge impact in my health and thinking. I will be using that knowlege from them for the rest of my life. It has helped me so much.
