I found my muscles!

On Monday I almost skipped going to my workout.  I had had less than 5 hours of sleep and when I knelt down to put on my shoes my legs felt like jelly.  How am I going to work out when I'm so tired? I wondered.  I really didn't want to.  But I had to get up to take Annalee to school anyway, and her school is really close to the church where I work out with some other ladies.  So I went.  We did three rounds of Boot Camp circuit torture.  As we started the second round I suddenly realized that I was doing the exercises.  I stunk at them, but I was DOING THEM!  A few weeks ago, when I started, I couldn't do most of the exercises.  I was modifying the modifications just to be able to participate.  But on Monday I was actually doing some of those exercises that I couldn't before.  It felt great!  There are still a lot of things I can't do yet but this was very encouraging.  I could feel my core muscles supporting me and acting like they should.  It was like last week they weren't there and this week they suddenly appeared.  Woo!

(This is a picture of me from 2012, right before I got pregnant with Bellana.  I hope to look this good again soon!)

It's so hard to workout when you don't feel like it but I find those workouts the most rewarding!
