We're leaving together
but it's still farewell
And maybe we'll come back
to earth, who can tell.*
Just thought those lyrics were appropriate for how I'm feeling tonight! Tomorrow will be bitter sweet since it's our last workout together. I am excited to be able to share this all with our friends and family tomorrow for our final workout.
I think I've done all I can do before the end of this meltdown journey, but this is just the beginning for me and I am so thankful to have been a part of this. I really needed to kick in the ass to get me moving, and Kili & Robert have been that kick in the ass for me.
All I can say is, THANK YOU!
See you all tomorrow!

Time is a tickin!
Ok, on my way to my last workout before weigh-in! Unless I can sneak one in tomorrow morning...maybe!! I know Jen is doubling up on workouts so she's keeping me hopping! My gut tells me the boys are too! Anyone else? I'm looking forward to the weigh in to see the results but not looking forward to this great Meltdown program ending. And will be missing my Meltdown friends. Ok, we've gotta figure out a way to keep connected Meltdowners! Just gotta!!
See you all Wed night!!

See you all Wed night!!

TRX today!
That's right! I purposely signed up and showed up for a TRX class. I decided to quit fighting it and get in there to learn it! It was a tough workout, felt awkward at times but overall I felt stronger and felt better about what I could do rather than what I couldn't do! It was such a warm feeling to step into class with fellow Meltdowners! Loved that. The gal next to me was super nice with just the few words we could squeeze out between moves. :) It was a wonderful way to start the day. I can tell I'm gonna feel it tomorrow!

This is a first...
I can actually say that I have rubbed my knees raw! Thanks to Kili and TRX this afternoon and Kickboxing tonight, my knees are seriously raw. My husband laughed at me when I said that my knees were sore and that I was going to have scabs....he's a dirty guy!
Both workouts today were awesome! The energy in kickboxing tonight was awesome. It's so fun to do a really hard workout and feel the positive energy in the room. Kili was on a mission tonight!
Looking forward to Wednesday!

Paleo Diet- Reflections
Wow I can't eat all the food! This is soooo much food! LOL.... I have never complained about having to eat too much, so I won't start now. I know that I will get better a putting combination that will be easy for me to prepare and consume.
I have had a good start to my exercise this week. I am trying to increase my cardio; I get out of breath so easy. I have sinus problems, but have had an operation about 3years ago and had helped a lot. Greg says I don't snore anymore unless I have a sinus infection. I have never had a chance to see how it affects my cardio because I didn't exercise. Well, since meltdown I found out that I am not really breathing from my right side. This is something that I am really concentrating on, with every cardio step I do I really am focusing on breathing.
Robert and Kili I can't thank you enough for helping to change not only my life but my husbands life as well. This has brought us closer as a couple and given us one more thing to share with each other. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU....
Meltdown has just been the beginning for me, not the end (even though meltdown is ending). I think for the 1st Sweat360 Meltdown 2010, our trainers have done a fantastic job. I know that they have learned how to help the next Meltdown class better. Though I don't know how it could be any better!
Watching everyone improve in so many ways has been a blessing to me to be a part of Meltdown with you!
Jen - watching the mommy and wife have a drive to not just loose the baby weight but to be a more active mommy and to see you wanting to improve your relationship with your husband even if it is the M_ _ F dream! LOL!
Terrance and Daniel it has been so much fun to spend time with you two. Terrance your are such an inspiration at how much you have changed your life. Daniel you have help pushed my limit, a little run after class but before stretching; you are so strong, fun and funny. You guys have great hearts!
Jamie Girl! I wish that I would have been as smart as you at your age. You will go far; part of the reason is that you don't want to be that girl with a weight problem and you are doing something about it. Work, School, Exercise and family, that is a lot and you are doing it. Props to you baby girl!
Lori your such a good mom! I have great drive and when I workout next to you I can feel your strength and energy. You energize me! I am so proud of you making great food choices in a place that is HELL for someone trying to eat right! Your Awesome..
Alicia it has been so fun to get to know you and I look forward to having more fun together. Do dance videos so we don't look as dorky as last friday. LOL. I look forward to doing Amber's senior pictures and sending time with you and her. You are such a hard worker and good mom. Being a single mom is soooo difficult, I know, been there done that. Your so funny and have such a good heart.
Kristy - your so quiet it has been hard for me to get to know you, but I look forward to it. I know that our paths will be crossing at the Sweatbox and hopefully will have a chance to have more fun together working out and changing our lives.
Kimmie - your so fun! I am glad that we had the chance to meet and can't wait to have you do my hair. You are inspiring and work so hard when you come to class. I look forward to a long hair relationship and workout relationship with you. You can do it. You can change to be more of what you want to be. I ask myself now, why have I waited so long? Don't be like me! Your young and beautiful with alot to offer anyone you come in contact with!!
Pretesia - You are fantastic!! High energy fun! Your such a lovely person; I enjoyed your company the 1st time we met at Dawn's house. Your family is so lucky to have you! Your go drive is CRAZY! With all your energy your simply amazing! I hope that we can continue to workout together and have fun at Dawn's house!
Well.... I should say goodnight and see some of you tomorrow and the rest of you on Wednesday.

Thank you my friends
I shocked that we have less than a week left. I am missing it already. I wish there was a part 2. I am not sure what that would look like but I know how it would feel. I feel so safe in our group. I feel that we have a great support group as well as the challenge. I will see you all on Wednesday if not sooner.

Hi Meltdown Class, This is just an update since I missed class on Saturday. I chaperoned a prom on Friday night and danced like I was sixteen again. On Saturday morning, I went to a Greek organizational walk for Haiti. Yes, I got wet in the rain for the cause. Later Saturday, Ambra went to another prom. So we preped all day for that. I am fit to be tired. I missed you all and will see you on Saturday. On Wednesday, Ambra will have a graduation from a nonprofit organization leadership program that she has been in for 3 years. When is graduation? This child is running me more than Robert and Kili. Good Luck everybody with this weeks workout and positive food choices.
