The Incredible Shrinking Man
The incredible shrinking man has now become my nickname at work. I think that it fits my waist line, but as person I'm growing with leaps and bounds.
My colleagues have been a huge part of my weight loss this year. The weight loss challenge started there and has turned into a lifestyle change for the rest of my life.
I weighed in this morning at 201.2 lbs out of the shower and I can just can't imagine I'm going to be under 200 lbs before you know it. I look back just six months ago when I first stepped on the scale that I bought for the weight loss challenge at 238.6 lbs. I'm amazed, but I know that I can accomplish anything I want to do.
Let's talk about my new class of choice. Kettlebell is by far the best workout I have ever been put through. John the instructor will push you until you are on edge of collapsing and then still wants fifty more reps. Question why I want to put my body through this, but you see great results. The class is efficient because you work your entire body, heart and muscles by going from one exercise to another with no rest. The workouts involve movements like pushups, jumping jacks, crunches and other body weight exercises. The difference lies in the intensity. In Kettlebell, your challenge is to take your body to its limit. You work, you sweat, and, best of all, you burn calories like crazy. John's website is below, so take a look at something you should do for yourself.
This week like the last few I leave you with a quote I found to be so true. Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed. Health is the most enjoyed, but the least envied. -Charles Caleb Colton
