Feeling Good

It was a wonderful week, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I lost a little weight (although that's a bonus).  Here are the reasons I'm feeling great about last week:

     1. I increased my squat weight in Pump class to 30 pounds on each side.
     2. I held a plank for 4 minutes and 2 seconds on Friday.
     3. I went to three classes (Attack, Pump, and Flow) on Thursday.  
     4. Prior to my dad's retirement party on Saturday, I took two classes at SWAT and ate  
           healthily so I could indulge at the party.  I probably overindulged, but at least I started out 
           strong!
