Ok so you need to know that I hate excercise with every fiber in my being! Which is why the idea of me doing this Hell week thing, all the more unbelievable. How did this madness happen to me? where here goes...
About a week ago my ac (accountability) buddy Josey, announced that she would be doing Hell Week this week which would involve her doing at least 2 classes ( sometimes 3 or 4) every day for 5 days straight. 1 class would be in the morning and then she would take the remainder classes in the evening. My reaction to that was to be as supportive and encouraging to her as possible, but with the understanding that I would not be joining in her goal as I was barely making it with coming to D3 3 xs a week! Plus morning classes are a no no for me. I am simply not a morning person. I cannot function before 9am.
Two days later at about 1130pm I found myself in front of my laptop signing up for D3 classes, whilst drinking a glass of wine. Somehow in my drunken stupor I managed to sign up for classes for 6 days straight! Day 1 was on Saturday when I did 3 classes back to back. day 2 was kickboxing, but today was really the beginning of Hell week. My alarm went off at 5:15am and I would have wanted nothing better than to roll over and keep on sleeping, but I dragged myself out of bed and after saying a few choice words to myself for signing up for Hell week, I got dressed and dragged myself to D3. S0mehow I managed to get through 50 mins of excercise at an ungodly hour, then went home to try and figure out how I am going to get thru the rest of this week under this regime. Thankfully i did not have to be in my office today so I worked from home and was even able to take a much needed nap before I went back to D3 at 7pm.
So how do I feel after my first day of hell (week!!). Ok and glad I survived to write this blog! Tomorrow will be the real test for me, not only do I have to get up again at an ungodly hour for the second day in a row( which will be the first time ever for me since joining D3 4 years ago), but I will actually have to go into work and represent people in court and go to a meeting and meet with a client and remain coherent throughout!! Then come back home and go back to D3 in the evening. I dont know how I will do it but I guess I will have to dig deep and find it somewhere within myself. I guess thats the point of Hell Week, to push my body to a point that it has never been before...

Like i said in my comment to your earlier blogg... Good for you!! It's hard as hell to workout everyday and getting up early like that is NO JOKE but you can do it. We all can do it and i think it's great that you're setting these goals for yourself. When i first told Dre i would do this training for this show i thought to myself what the HELL did i just sign up for!! It's been almost 2mths and i'm still going at it hard. Some days i so want to give up but when you start seeing results it makes working out and getting up so much easier. So don't give up you can do this and again i'm so proud of you..
Have a great week
xoxo
