Ahhhhhhh-maaaaaaaa-zing!

The title describes just how I have been feeling this week. It's craziness! I feel like I went to bed Sunday night, went to BBC on Monday morning and a switch was turned on. I have been feeling more energized since starting boot camp, but this week has been different. Monday I felt like I woke up... and started this whole new side of my life. I played and played with my daughter on Monday & Tuesday. To the point that she was getting annoyed with me. I think I had even had more energy than my 2 year old could handle! Every thing that came out of my mouth was a song. (Think: "Let's eat your lunch and then we'll take a naaaap!") Yes annoying, but lucky for you, you weren't with me unless your name is Aunt Karen (or Libby, but she doens't care)! Sorry AK! I had to warn my poor sweet Alex when he got home from work that I was in a terribly annoyingly good mood (and not to mess it up) and I think he saw a side of me that he has missed for a very long time! Although he most likely won't admit it! He must have called me a dork at least 15 times on Monday night. I remember I used to be this way. I was like this in high school. Rambunctious and silly and bubbly and full of life. What a feeling! I don't ever want to go back to the way I felt a month ago- EVER! The rest of this week so far has been a lot of the same, and man, am I loving it!?

I have really started seeing some results. So let me share some of these results with you:

Obviously my energy is crazy through the roof!
My moods have been great. I haven't even felt the need to lash out at Alex lately, and he's loving it!
I am playing with my daughter like mad.
My endurance and strength is up (quite a lot, I think) at BBC
My clothes are starting to fit a bit better
My posture has improved
When I sing, I can hold a note a lot longer (even when singing about lunch)
I can RUN up the stairs without getting winded
I don't feel as exhausted when I get home from a party
My shoulders are taking on a whole new shape
My side boobs are disappearing as well as my front boobs! Alex is not liking this one so much


And of course we are supposed to stay off of the scale, but I am naughty. Oh yes, that's right, I am naughty! (Who would have ever guessed that?!) I was actually busted by Mr. Ben Warstler himself as he has all of our log in information to fit day. I had innocently weighed myself last week and logged the number into my fit day account just to see how it looked on the weight goal graph, and then I removed it... Apparently while it was in there, Ben must have logged in and I was busted! So okay fine- I weighed myself. And I have lost 12 pounds so far. This week will end week 4 and I think we have permission to weigh ourselves, so of course, I will! When Ben and I were chatting about this today I told him that it doesn't even matter what the scale said because the way that I feel is and always will be more important than the number. I want to give Liberty a better Mom, that is the biggest goal. She's getting one!

Oh and by the way- I did 66 fire hose slams in 30 seconds today. That's freaking nuts! I'm still doing crappy on the burpees, but they're burpees. I'll get there... someday. The planks and I were even agreeing a little bit yesterday! Progress is being made!
