I like this new side of me...

Y'all, a year ago today I couldn't do 15 minutes on a bike, struggled to do any weight training, had no flexibility to speak of.

Tonight I did my second martial arts class. Here I am, almost 40, never sports a day in my life and in one month I have started training for marathon running and martial arts. I did a level 5 workout this morning and the MMA class, going to regret that tomorrow, ha!

I am just so pumped. That was so much fun. I do Fitness Blender because I am so self conscious, so nervous to exercise in front of people. But ironically the thing I chose because I could do it at home with no one watching is the thing that gave me the strength to kick butt in public. I was in front of a group of adults tonight and I kept up! I could actually kick the bag and thanks to FB kickboxing, I even had a great base for boxing.

Man I love this site and all Fitness Blender does. They didn't give me my life back, they gave me a better life to live for.

I do MMA now, what is up with that, haha!?? Thank you, Fitness Blender!
