Getting back up

I followed 2B Mindset for about a month...and lost about 12 lbs.  But I hit a plateau and wasn't losing...so I gave up.

Fast forward to now.  I am determined to try again.  I just got home from Orangetheory, which has their grand opening on 2/19/19.  I signed up back in December, and these are their VIP "trial" classes.  Today was my first.  It was hard.  It was very hard.  I may have teared up when I realized how hard it was for me.  But I pushed through.  I did it.  I completed the full 60 minute workout.  I cried at the end, because I did it.  I made it.  I actually finished.  Even now, thinking about it, I'm tearing up.  Because it was HARD.  I earned 19 splat points.  You earn one splat point for every minute you are in the orange or red heart rate zone...the zones where you are pushing yourself (orange is comfortable, red is uncomfortable).  The target is at least 12 per class...and 30 minutes into the class I had 0...but felt like I should have all 30.  My muscles were hurting and shaking.  But again...I did it.

I feel proud of myself.  For finishing...but part of me also feels ashamed that I let myself get this far.  My next class is Friday as I'm traveling for work tomorrow.  Wish me luck!
