Today is the start of a crazy busy week. I am headed to Australia on Saturday.
I am mentally going over and over if I will remember everything. I shipped 16 big boxes from my office a few weeks ago. THIS always stresses me. I am always asked...Who watches your kids? I am lucky to have Gentry home (although she is a little disadvantaged with her broken foot), McKay who drives now and Grandma Collins is coming to help. It takes a village- ha! My boys are playing lots of baseball and often we have two games at the same time, but at completely opposite ends of town. Like tonight, TWO games at the same time! However, Spring time here in Utah is almost like Winter time. We are constantly having snow or rain. I am so ready for SPRING!!!!! So anyway, I have a team of family who helps me when I'm away. Ty is going with me on this trip to Brisbane. I am looking forward to this event and for the chance to meet so many of the retailers that carry my product line.
I try not to think about TWO things-
How much I will MISS my family...
and how much I will miss my WORKOUTS! I am almost done with week 4. It has flown by! This morning was a intense workout (as usual). We worked on CORE exercises the entire workout. I have so much more to achieve that I want to continue to stay at the gym that I am at. I am inspired by the trainers (Aaron and Judah) and the people who go there. Many of you have emailed and wanted to know where I go. I promise you this place is not for the faint of heart or for quitters. That is exactly what I needed. I started at ZERO and am slowly getting stronger. I want this so bad! It is not really what you would call a "traditional" boot camp. There is no army fatigues and none of the chanting or name calling,etc. that I saw on some sites.
It is simply a workout that will PUSH your limits EVERY single day. They change up what we do EVERY single day. I love that you are never bored. You work hard and YOU see results. It's ONE HOUR of my day and then the other 23 hours, I have to choose to make better decisions. I am so appreciative that I found this place. The trainers don't mess around, but they are not mean in any way. I have NEVER used so many weights, but I now see how important it is to really changing and strengthening your body.
I am planning on taking what I have learned and keep moving during my trip! It's my FOCUS and I feel too good to go back to where I was four weeks ago. THIS experience has changed me more INTERNALLY than externally. Why did I wait so long? I know FEAR... but not anymore. I'm so happy that I did this!
