Day 9 of Challenge!

Remember yesterday's post where I said I loved ballet? Well, today I did not have the same fuzzy feelings! I decided to incorporate some more Mary Helen Bowers because I felt that my workout yesterday was so effective.

It.hurt.so.much.

I did Sexy Swan Arms, like from the dancers of Swan Lake. You should have seen me flapping and flapping my "wings." My arms started getting so heavy and tired that I looked more like the Dying Swan.

I wish you could see the sweat on my face!

Then right after that I moved onto working the big muscle group. The butt. It was just as hard and I found I had to close my eyes at times and focus to get me through the 15 minutes without stopping or breaking out of the different positions.

Leg up doing an "attitude!"

While I was in my studio/nursery trying to tone up, I had this thought that getting fit is sooo beneficial, but is so hard. It's hard to find the motivation to work out without being forced to. It's hard to endure pain to burn fat. It's hard to flap my wings for 15 minutes straight. It is much easier to sit comfortably on the couch eating left over birthday cake.

But cake isn't going to help me reach my goals. I really want to lose the flabbiness I sustained while pregnant. I want to be healthy and feel good physically. It is a journey and I am looking forward to it. I hope you are too!

Bring on Day 10!
