Shannon...you're AMAZING!!! 10-weeks without a break is very impressive. I think the most I've made it was 7 or 8 weeks. You'll find that a week off will give you the strength and motivation to get with it again. What are your plans for the next couple of months?

Well, I just finished Lean for Life so I'm taking a week off as well. What I learned from L4L was that all three circuits (Burn, Push, and Lean) deserve equal amounts of respect. Last Friday I did one of the Burn Circuits and I was DRENCHED by the time I was done. I has more sweat on me than I do when I do a cardio work out. I loved this month! In fact, my plan from now on is to do a L4L month between each phase. So, the next 6-months will be Burn, L4L, Push, L4L, Lean, L4L. After that last L4L, I should be pretty close to the end of the year so hopefully I'll be closer to reaching my goals.

I went to a Speech-Language banquet for the students at Texas Tech this week. I got to see a lot of old friends and professors and almost everyone commented on how much I had slimmed down. I experienced most of my "eating disorder" issues when I was an undergrad and I put on a lot of weight toward the end of my school career because I had no clue how to control my eating AND I stopped exercising completely. It felt wonderful to be back in that environment but this time with a great level of freedom and confidence. God is AWESOME!!

AHHHHHH, here's to a wonderful week off with a little bit of flexibility with eating as well!!!!
