Week 9 out of the way

With one more workout to complete week nine, it is just about done.  It has been one hell of a week for me, but I am going to end it on a good note.  I have been pushing myself, but still felt as though I was holding back.  Today, Lynn would have called me a machine - well at least on the ropes.  Ben had us doing some pretty "freaky" shit, and it hurt like hell, but I kicked ass on the ropes today.  Unfortunately, it's Friday so I do leave early to attend weekly meetings for work - with that said I did miss out on the Kettlebell swings and rows, and well lets face it what ever little gift Ben gave at the end.  You know the "finisher", lol.  I don't know if there was one, but all I can say is that there most likely was and I am sure that there were some Burpees in the mix - as there always is.
Lynn was not able to attend today, but she will return tomorrow.  She called me this morning to let me know and I said "good thing you called, I probably would have trash talked you at the workout".  I probably would have, you know "tough love". 
Ben did an update on MOO today, and I always find it wonderful to hear how he feels we are doing.  It is great to hear that he thinks we are doing well, and for me it gives me a big push to push myself harder.  We don't have a lot of time left with this, and there is no room for slack assing.  We all work hard, and honestly we all show determination.  It is going to be hard work, but my goal is to kick ass everyday until the end - and well lets face it even longer.
During the beginning of our Metabolism Make over we have to set goals for ourselves, I look at these goals often as a reminder of what I want to accomplish during this twelve weeks and all I can say is MAN do I have determination.  There are a couple of things that I won't know until the end if I have actually met the goal I set or not but as far as where I wanted to be with weight selections I am right on target.  As far as the pant size that I wanted to be by this time, I am smaller then I was expecting.  This is honestly a great feeling and a wonderful achievement for me, and yeah if you want you can take it as bragging.  I will admit that since I have lost inches in my thighs, I am able to wear smaller pants the I was expecting I always thought that the problem was my gut, but as it turns out my big ass thighs were a BIG part of the problem - who knew? LOL I do not know what the goals Lynn had for herself are - so I can't tell you where she is at and how much further she needs to go, but I will say this...... Lynn has done an amazing job, she has given it her all and is so dedicated to this program.  She is an amazing person, she is a mother, wife, student, and full time worker and she has managed to make this a priority for herself.  She deserves the recognition for that.  She is one of the most amazing people that I know, and for that I have been truly blessed. 
Next week - BRING A FRIEND - any takers???
Enjoy!!!
