Needless to say I was stuffed when I had finished but in the same token felt so good when I looked down at my HRM and realised I had burnt 981 cals!! Total for the class and the walk – 1263 calories!!!!! So stoked! Alot of things I didnt finish properly but I attempted evenything the PT threw at us! I will get better each time I go and if im burning those cals not even doing ever little thing imagine if I was! The ladies there were so nice too. always telling me how well I was going for my first time and getting me to get a few more strides out in a jog or even a few punches or pushups. They were amazing! One of them was like a machine! She is so well toned and looks amazing! I couldnt believe it when I found out she is almot 50yrs old!!! I would have given her maybe 35, 40 at the most!! She is so fit! and also I now find out my daughters best friends mum...lol. She is a fitness fanatic! Gym 3 times a week karate, tennis, golf you name it she does it every week. I was tired from just hearing what she does! anyhow she reckons she is coming to get me 3 times a week for this circuit class....we shall see ;)

Even went to the movie last night to see SATC2. Usually I would get a mega meal with an ice cream but not last night! I got a small popcorn and a bottle of water! I even didn’t get tempted by the stop at McDonalds after midnight when we were heading home! So proud of myself. Maybe this is all just starting to become habit. Heres hoping there is no falling off any wagons this time around!

Surprisingly, im not sore this morning either....WOOHOO!!!
