Recap and looking ahead

Sorry all, I don't have internet at my apartment yet but let me recap on Friday and my weekend......
Recap: I would entitle friday afternoon as "Breakdown" because that's what I had. I have just had so many things happen to me lately and the stress of the workouts, diet change, etc...just wore me thin. At workout I just started crying due to some issues and just did so while working out. I had a mini-breakdown almost but then felt better afterwards! I was fine, it's just one of those times when things go so wrong but if you know me you know I just say Oh well! And move on!!!! I can't quit anything I start, I can't do something and not try my hardest, I just can't. That's the only times I can say the words can't. I must say this day was one that I learned a lot about myself and others in the process and also learned that some things are not what they seem. Also, as a person, you may mean well, but always watch yourself because you never know if someone will try to twist your words, so always be aware of you. That's all you can do really. If you talk the talk then walk the walk, right!?!
This weekend: This weekend, Saturday I slept until 7 am! Whoo hoo not 4 am! My baby girl also decided she would be the angel that she is and sleep until 7! She normally wakes up at 5 or so! I felt much better! I did some cardio and a lot of crunches but tried to give my legs a much needed rest. I stuck with my food and made good choices! On Sunday, I play on a church league basketball team. One week ago yesterday when I played I was breathing hard, wanting to never run down the court only jog, I was exhausted after 5 minutes, etc... I even would volunteer to take the ball out so I could trail and jog down the floor!!! Yesterday, the difference was amazing! I ran down the court everytime! The difference in my lung capacity is unreal after just one week of training! I feel like I have been training for months! Me and Kelli kept running fast breaks! Me---run a fast break and LIKE it!!! I also kept telling myself run block to block no matter what and then if I ever didn't, I'd hear Ryan say..."Block to block missy!!" Everybody is there for me and won't let me slack even the slightest! It's what you love and hate at the same time! That's why I love our trainers so much because they won't let us quit either. They could too. This is not for them, they could let us just say it's too hard and quit, but they won't. It's pretty awesome knowing someone you don't even know wants this for you almost as much as you want this for yourself.
