She's done it. My wife has grasped this challenge and ran with it. Although this posting says the 13th I'm giving everyone the Coles notes from the past 8 days.
After Jason's orientation with us I waited to see how she would react the following day. Like a nervous father I patiently waited after work and a short while after dinner she decided to head down and have a work out.
At this point I thought to myself "please don't stay down there for hours". The worst thing anyone (in my opinion) could do when starting a work out regime would be to overdo it at the start. This is a common problem with many aspects of peoples lives and working out is no different. As I was told when I started my 21 day challenge; take baby steps. To my relief she was down there for half an hour and thoroughly enjoying herself.
Her work outs have consisted of a blend of cardio and strength training using the new elliptical trainer, the Power Plate My5 as well as some free weight training. Mixing things up definitely keeps the mind and body from becoming bored which is key to succeeding.
She's finding it surprising that she's able to suppress her night time snacking as this has always been her major weakness. She's also rediscovered the joy's of creative cooking. OK...that is a bit of a lie. What she's enjoyed is finding recipes for me to cook.
More on that in the upcoming days.
