Day 2

Today is the end of Day 2 of Hell week. This morning I made it to the 6am sweatbox, which naturally was a killer, especially because it involved the dreaded stairs!! As one freind told me years ago, stairs are for people to walk down, not up! Needless to say having to run up and down stairs was challenging for me. Nevertheless I pushed through especially when I heard Dre screaming in my ear, "one more time Dupe".

I made it to work ok and was actually able to have coherent conversations with Judges, lawyers and clients.

Came home, chilled for a bit then closed my eyes for a few, the next thing I knew it was 8:06pm..6mins after zumba had already started!! Thank God I live right across the street from D3! Jumped up, threw on my coat, dashed out and made it in time for the last 20 mins of Zumba. This was particularly impressive because I was invited to attend an Obama watch party, for his State of the Union Speech tonight, where strong cocktails and cupcakes were to be served! A lethal combination no doubt. I was seriously tempted, then my ac buddy Josey reminded me to stay focussed! No slacking during Hell week. Darn!

Shout out to Josey, she wasnt able to join me today, as she had what will hopefully just be a 24 hr bug. Tommorrow she will be picking up where I left off, as I wont be in D3 tommorrow morning, but I will still be putting in my two classes in the evening.

Can I say again, I turned down cocktails and cupcakes today, for what? Well actually today I was told by two separate individuals on two separate occasions that I looked like I was losing weight. Nice!

I would like to end by saying that I actually see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have completed day 2 of the official Hell week. I have 2 more days and I will have done 6 straight days at D3. That has NEVER happened to me!! I am proud of myself..2 more days of Hell (week!)
