Yesterday I took myself off to a Body Attack class, as recommended by a fellow TAM buddy and as talked by other friends who take the class. Before I went I expected it to be a really good workout, incorporating jumps, steps, runs and a few toning moves. What I actually got was all these things but the speed at which these jumps, steps and runs happened was quite unexpected. The jumping jacks were on speed, the steps were double time and the runs were back and forth so quick I sometimes couldn't even keep up! Why am I writing about a Body Attack class when I'm supposed to be documenting my journey with Tracy Anderson? Well, doing this class actually showed me that although the class was rough and ready, I did actually keep up with it throughout, and this showed me that not only has Tracy's cardio element increased my fitness level to something I never thought I was capable of, but I can actually go harder and for longer than the required 30 minutes of cardio, if pushed or if I put my mind to it.
After that revelation last night, I had another revelation this morning, my lowest weight for 10 or 11 years, 8 st 0.8. The clever scales also told me that in the last couple of months I've lost nearly 5 pounds but my muscle mass has only gone down by 1 pound, so this means I must've lost 4 pounds of fat, so that's good right?! I can tell this is the case just by how my skin around my middle feels, there's a little less to grab hold of!
So, today I'm realising that things are still slowly happening to my body, and after the earlier down period this week, thinking nothing was moving, things suddenly are again, so I just have to be patient, stick with it, take enough rest and enough food to keep me in good form, and just wait and see what lies in store! It's quite an exciting prospect, to see what happens next and how far I can take this, with a little help from my beautiful guru, Tracy Anderson of course!
