Well Tuesday morning I woke up with horrible hives all over that just kept spreading.
I went to the doctor and found out they were from a spider bite, which caused a skin infection, which caused a rash. I have been fighting this for the past few days, and am hoping to get back on track today.
The good news is, I didn't gain since Monday. I actually lost. I don't know if this is because of the wonders TF is doing for my metabolism... who knows, but that made me feel really great!
Two of my favorite pairs of jeans wore out last week, so last night when I couldnt sleep I decided to go shopping in my "second-closet"... the one where all the shunned/too-tight clothes go. I found like 5 pairs of jeans that fit well again. What a great feeling!--Gives me all the more motivation to keep going and not let this setback get me down!
Tonight we are going to Wichita... will be there for ten days/the holidays. Hopefully with the trip I can keep a good routine going, or get in a good routine. Cooper says he wants to try Turbo with me and also go running with me. We could probably do both together in Wichita!
I will keep you posted on how today/getting back on track goes. Wish me luck!

TurboFire W1 Recap
Down 4 pounds after doing my first week of TurboFire!
I can't decide whether or not to take my measurements yet, since it's only been a week. Maybe next week or at the 1 month mark!
Last week was really busy with School, Church, and working TurboFire in everyday! Needless to say, I managed to do TF with full intensity everyday it was scheduled (all but Wednesday), and it was a lot of fun! Also, it is very destressing, as most workouts are.
Some mornings I would find myself being lazy (that was me this morning too... before starting my 8th day and first classes of the 2nd week), but eventually I would have a wake up call, realizing if I did not do it then, I would not have time to work out later! There is too much at stake! My health!
I remember the shape I got in doing TurboKick back in Wichita for two years. I may not have been skinny, but I had endurance. I may not have been a runner, but I was a motivated turbogirl, taking classes 3-4 times a week. I got a really good friend hooked on turbokick, and it has changed her outlook on life. Hearing her say that to me reminded me that all hope was not lost.
Now look at me! Class 6 days a week in the privacy of my own home! It even feels like I am in a real class with other people (somehow) How wonderful! My husband thankfully didn't make fun of me punching the air when I did the turbo's this weekend! I am not ashamed!
As for now, I can only take it day by day! This morning I had another one of those lazy feelings (cause class is officially over and I am in winter break mode--despite having a final exam at 3pm), and then I remembered, my only chance to do this today is now. If I skip today, all of last week will have been for nothing. I know things come up, but I cannot let them get in the way of my health!
Anyway... just a thought. It feels good to get back to the grind after taking it way too easy for the past couple years. Thanks to all of my friends for encouragement and support.

Day 1 and 2 of Turbofire
Yesterday was Day 1 of TurboFire. I did the FIRE 30 and STRETCH 10 classes. It was so much fun! The FIRE 30 was like a super intense TurboKick Class shortened just a little bit. I have gotten so out of shape. It was hard, but I kept up. I remember those days when I did TurboKick at the Wichita Y 3-5 days a week like it was nothing. This is going to be such a good program to get back into that, while also getting back into shape!
Day 2 was awesome as well! I have got to be honest--this morning I was NOT motivated. I was putting off TurboFire, despite how great I felt yesterday... and was going to do it around 6:00 pm. Then... around 11 am I just got this wave of motivation and decided I should do it then; I am so glad I did. The classes today were HIIT 15 and STRETCH 10. Even though HIIT was only 15 minutes, I almost died. Well... I thought I was going to die. It was intense, but I made it through!!!
Tomorrow is a rest day. Then Thursday will be Day 4--FIRE 30 and STRETCH 10!
Can't wait!
