So long TT but not forgotten!

Can't believe TT is actually history...this is my fourth go at it and every year I love it even more!  Thanks for all the great workouts and motivation Kristin and to my Team OMG it's 6!....I would have been the last to say that I would have been able to get my butt out of bed for our 6 am workouts but I did it and really proud of all of our efforts.  FFY - you rock!  Thanks for another great "season."

Can't believe we are wrapping up another session of Team Training.  I love the workouts and the motivation that my teammates give to me!  I love seeing their successes as well as mine!

To Spin or Not To Spin... that will ALWAYS be the question

Who doesn't LOVE Kristin's Spin class?  Kick a** music and a high energy instructor who pushes herself harder than anyone else in the room.  She is truly motivating.  (... as I sit here missing her class right now... sorry K!  Work took over today)

So why is it so hard to get myself there?  I know I will love it once we get rolling.  I know I will feel great when it's done.  And yet I have the same the conversation with myself each week.  It goes something like this.

  • "Get dressed. Get in the car. Go.  You'll be psyched you did."
  • "Maybe I'll run on the treadmill later.  After I finish this (insert one of the many, never ending work projects here)."
  • "Don't kid yourself.  You say that now.  Once you get started on this project you will be sucked into that old familiar mud pit of brainstorm mania.   Your body will sink into it's amorphous blob-ish state and hope of physically moving in any direction other than the kitchen for snacks will be lost."


You get the point.  I fear that without Team Training, I will be even more apt to lose the argument each week.

I think the secret to success is to stop having the conversation with myself and start having it with my teammates.  One quick text to inquire about their plans for the morning workout and I'm half way to heading out the door.  In fact, I might not even get that far.  Just thinking about how the conversation would go could be enough to get off my butt and move.  It's worth a try anyway, right?

Team Training has taught me that we are all part of one big FFY team and we can help each other along the way on our path to fitness greatness.

What are your plans to keep your workouts going after Team Training ends?  I'd love to share strategies.

Good luck everyone!

Week 8

Seems I'm always away the last week of team training...it's our annual trip to Breckenridge but miss the final push! This year has been great for me meeting and and getting to know a few more members at FFY there are more benefits to team training other than getting fit! And of course Kristen our ever positive trainer that keeps us going. Kristen if you read this please email me the week 8 points sheet.

The G 6

 Another great week I have loved team training and Kristin's workouts too. Looking forward to tomorrow. See you all in the morning.

Wrapping UP

Can't believe we are starting the last week of Team Training!  It has been a great session and I've loved our trainer and Kristin's workouts.  Bring on week 8!

Week 8

I Can't believe we are in the home stretch.  Love my team District 6 ! Thanks to them and our AWESOME trainer, Kristin who motivated me to come to the gym more than I ever have before.  Working out for 2+ hours was not a usual thing for me, and it now happens at least once a week.  

Great job everyone!  We are in the home stretch! Keep it up!

Wrapping Up

I can't believe that Team Training wraps up this week...I love that not only do I have fun (and have more discipline) during TT but it always seems to make the winter fly by!  Thanks to Kristin and FFY for supporting this great opportunity...I am in the best shape I've been in a long time!

Long way to go!!

Training with my team and Kristin is a terrific start to a healthy shift in my lifestyle.  I'm more than a little nervous for these sessions to end, but feeling like I now am on track.  Looking to end strong this week and keep it going with the same goals for number of workouts a week and carefully sticking to my food goals in MyFitnessPal.

Will miss seeing everyone so regularly...  I loved our training sessions together!
