Reflecting on the sixty day challenge, pre 60 I could not lock my knee out. Plus I had weak knees from a still existing knee fracture. On camel I would not reach my foot. On spine twist i couldn't reach my knee and wrap my arm on my back. Now I can say I could do all the above. I still wobble and struggle but I fall out less and dig deeper.
I truly enjoyed the friendships I had made during this challenge. I joked with Ching we are like the tv show lost, all of us characters have our own personal story what brought us to this practice. I am used to seeing my fellow challengers daily, I think that is the one thing I will miss most after this challenge is done. Everyone will go back to their own schedule and won't see everyone as often.
This has been a great workout that became a part of my life like brushing teeth. I am so fortunate to share this with my parents and husband.
I can say I lost 60 pounds without dieting, and reversed my type 2 diabetes.
I consistently been coming to my endearing Pasadena studio since June 20, 2011. Even after the challenge my journey to get healthier continues.
I am happy to announce I went down 4 dress sizes since the challenge, I will weigh in tomorrow. I'm sort of boycotting the scale, but I notice my body slimming.. My belt now wraps around my waist and I had to make new holes on my belt so I can wear it.
My dad took a pic of me a day before the challenge on his 60th birthday. I took the other pic yesterday to show my friends my new cut. Here I noticed my face is smaller. Thanks to Ching and her photography I noticed my body is smaller too.
Nancy! I didn't realize Val's class was your 60th -- I would have hugged ya and congratulated you!!! So happy/proud you completed your goal -- several days EARLY no less! All of your accomplishments are so inspiring and I love the new haircut, just adorable. You look slimmer and younger compared to the old photo. :) See you in Jesse's class tonight?
