Just kidding. I'm stoked. I FINISHED THE DVD. Sure, there were a couple of moves that I couldn't complete like J-Money, but I did it. I did every move, in some way or another. There are just things that I absolutely cannot do yet - it's time to
But OMG if I'm not feeling amazing now!!! Everything feels stretched. Every muscle, my spine, my fingers, and my toes. I didn't focus on doing the moves perfectly - I instead focused on making sure that I could feel each move in the part of my body that Jillian was saying I should feel. I focused on making sure my neck was relaxed and I used all the muscles to do each move, instead of cheating and making it easier by not tightening all my muscles. Core strong the whole time, slow moves, deliberate moves.
Those of you who do work out at least somewhat regularly know what this feels like. The warm, exhausted, slightly sweaty, satisfied feeling. They're not kidding when they say that working out releases the feel-good endorphins into the system. It's just such a HUGE accomplishment. I'm mad proud of myself. I'm just so psyched that I made it all the way through the cool-down and everything. This is how happy I am.
(please excuse the awesome camera phone picture...it was self-shooting. It's all for you.)
Oh, and remember the last time I made it through 27+ minutes of it? Yeah. I was two Sun Salutations away from being done. DANG. I could have accomplished this forever ago. Oh, well, right? I've accomplished it now. :)
Anyone out there have an awesome story of accomplishment from the week? Or the day?
Feel free to pat me on the back. Virtually or otherwise. :D
