The
differences I am noticing from this program are incredible to me. Not only do I
have wrist bones again, my ankles bones are coming back too. I actually have
cute ankles, a far cry from my pregnant cankle days. My calves are shaping up
(thank you butt kicks) and there’s more definition in my neck and shoulder
area. I’m not dropping a crazy amount of weight at once but these physical
changes are marvelous to me and well worth it. It’s like I’m gaining my figure back
from the outside moving in; starting in the extremities and slowly closing in
on the bigger midsection problem area. I know that area will take longer but
these smaller changes are plenty to keep me motivated about what I am doing… I’m
feeling pretty good about myself.
When I started this program I could barely do a push up. Seriously. My own
version of push ups were the girly ones with your knees on the floor and even
there I couldn’t do much. This Plyometric Cardio workout requires a lot of
moves in the push up position and I shocked myself at how many I was actually
able to do. The differences I see in myself between today and day 1 of the
program are like night and day.
It’s not just a physical
overhaul I’m experiencing either. There are some happy mental and emotional
changes going on as well. I have noticed I am less prone to sulking. Things
that would have annoyed the heck out of me before I’m able to just shrug off.
Don’t get me wrong I still have a temper, but it’s easier for me to keep a more
positive attitude on life and not let that temper get the best of me. I know
why I feel like this too. Exercising releases endorphins, the happy chemical in
people’s bodies that makes the world a rosy hue. The more I have been
exercising the better I have been feeling throughout the day. Now, tanning also
releases endorphins but I run a high risk for skin cancer (yay, genetics) so a
ghostly white I will stay but hopefully I’ll soon be the fittest ghost this
side of life has ever seen.
