Sniff, Sniff...can't believe the end is almost here

After seven incredible weeks, I've had fun, worked hard, felt stronger, ate better (well, relatively better - I have cut back on my chocolate intake!), enjoyed the camaderie of the six-packs and appreciated Dean's enthusiasm and leadership. I'm really sad that we are heading into our last week - can't believe it! Our team has enjoyed team training so much that we are talking about starting up again in mid-April (the new start date feels too soon for any of us between our schedules and our bodies). So I'm psyched for this last push and to hopefully be rewarded by some dropped LBS and body fat. THANKS DEAN AND TEAM SIX-PACK for all your support, good humor, and motivation - you guys are the BEST!

Six Pack-Girly,Girls!

Another fun and challenging workout. My teammates look amazing and we all feel stronger. We'd like to sign up as a group but the next session starts too soon. We need a rest, time to play and the chance to enjoy the accomplishment. All work and no play is boring!

Running fun

We had a mini-hurricaine here on Roatan last night, with unbelievable winds and torrential downpours. This morning the wind is still here and the wind is still roaring, creating awesome waves, and making running on the beach a challenge. So, I made up a new workout: how close can I run along to the water without getting my feet wet by the rolling, unpredicatble waves. It sure was different than a treadmill!
I'm wondering what my Five For Fighting teammates have been up to and what Lisa has in store for them tonight.....

OY!

Week 7 is officially kicking my a&# - I just took my first class with Roque and I'm totally whipped ... even 2 hours later I'm still warm! It's great to be seeing results finally and I'm definitely signing up for the next round ... I've been more consistent and committed that I would have been on my own.

Ricky ... I hope you managed to stay awake for your brief yesterday ... Kelly O ... I only hope I can one day live up to your # of days in the gym record! You guys are an inspriation and I've never laughed so hard while working out ... it's a shame we don't get points for how much fun we have! Go Team RK2!!!

The Last Stretch!

OK week 7 is upon us and I can't quite believe that this time next week our workouts with Dean and Team Six Pack will come to an end. What a great experience this has been and I am actually sad that it is coming to an end. We all feel so much stronger and healthier for doing this so come the weigh in - we will hopefully be rewarded for our efforts but in the big picture of things at least we have improved in mind and matter as well as strength and we know deep down we tried our best and we all look amazing even if the scale is not our best friend. SO Team let's make one last big effort this week - watch out Rickey!(hope all is well by the way with baby Drake- I will sure miss your blogs each week!). Have a great week everyone!

Week 6 - Sleepy Causes Late Blogging

A happy week seven to everyone. On the sixth week of team training, my true love gave to me......A BABY!!!!! He is wonderful, awesome, perfect, beautiful, and everything we could have wished for. Thank you all for your well wishes and support to me and my family over the past few days.

Needless to say, my new bundle of joy affected my Week 6 progress, affected in that I had very little. But, watch out Julie's, because I'M BACK! Although, I will have to switch to the 8am classes (sorry Charlene). I'm crazy sleepy, so I'll leave it at that. Keep going everyone!

P.S. - Poor hospital food and unending attention on my son led to a lack of eating last week, and I'm down a good bit! Nice!

All Fired Up!

Looking forward to our workout tomorrow. We will be banding for our upper body workout...

Had a difficult time last weekend away. It is so very hard when you are out of your element.

I just keep reminding myself, "Treat your body like a temple NOT a tent".

Hola to my teammates!

Hola from Roatan to my teammates! I've run the beach each morning (a whole 2 mornings!) and have been trying to be healthy while enjoying the occasional "fun" rum based based beverage. I was also disciplined enough to do a resistance band workout (much to my family's amusement). It's now time to head back out to the beach...or pool.....
Go Five for Fighting!!!
