The End...Or just the beginning?

Well I have mostly recovered from my cold and have made the most of my last week. After a shaky start with the funky new moves on Monday I was soon back in the swing of things and made it to 4 classes this week.

I have really enjoyed all the classes I have attended. It is surprising how easily I have fitted them into my life as I never imagined I would have the energy or inclination to go so often or put so much effort in whilst I was there. Both Jane and Wendy have been fabulous.

My mood definitely lifts when I go to a class and as the weeks have gone by this has spilled over into everyday life. I feel a lot happier and motivated in general, I have more time for the children, my friends and have even squeezed in a few Spanish lessons. I feel more relaxed, I am sleeping better, have a more positive outlook and feel more confident.

So, all in all, this has been a very positive experience and I have
every intention of continuing now that this challenge is over.

So what were my goals again and given the above does it really matter? Let's see...

1. To fit back into my regular jeans...Unfortunately there is still some way to go with that goal. I did try them on but I could tell before I got them over my knees that it was a fruitless task. We will call it a work in progress.

2. To lose half a stone...Did not quite get there either. I did lose 4lbs though which I am pretty pleased with.

3. Acquire some energy...Still up at midnight so mission accomplished.

4. To feel more healthy...Well despite my recent illness I do feel healthier and a lot fitter as well and, as a result, I have also starting eating healthier and ditched the biscuits.

OK so I didn't quite reach all my goals but I believe I have made some progress in the right direction and I am confident that this is just the beginning rather than the end.

Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement and will see you very soon.

  1. JANE well done and thank you for being such a brilliant blogger - I have enjoyed having you in all the classes, and you have done really well. ok the jeans still don't quite fir, but 4 lbs is fabulous, and they will fit before summer for sure!! I'm also so glad to read how the positive affects have spilled in to other parts of your life - that's what I hoped would happen. Well done and keep going Jane, and see you soon at class!!
