Today will be class 11 on day 12 of my newest barre challenge! My goal is 30 classes in 35 days. It's my goal to have 5 rest days, one of which is Sunday of last week. So far so good. I made it through the 11 days of INTENSE classes with one rest day. The only actual reason I took the rest day was because I had to work during the only two classes offered on Sunday. I got a massage on the rest day at the urging of one of my barre instructors because she said my obliques were so tight. I haven't actually built in another one yet and am going to try to make it to the 21st without stopping because that's when I scheduled another massage. If I can do that, it'll be class 20! I watch other women in the studio come every day in a row and I'm so jealous. So I'm going to try and kick it up a notch!
I must say I was very upset last weekend when I went to put on some jeans and they didn't fit. Then this past week I went to put on a skirt that was SUPER big on me a year ago and was semi tight. The funny thing is I haven't gained any weight but my muscles are starting to pop. My girlfriend swears I'm slimming down even more and look TINY in that skirt. The only logical thing I can think of is my butt....yes, my butt. It has grown. It's gotten more toned and that skirt, which I wore on my hips, can't fit there because my booty is in the way. Does that seem logical? I think so...
I originally was going to do whole 30 in addition to the barre challenge but I decided not to this go round and just focus on my 30 classes and not spend tons of money to do whole 30 when I can eat for free. I've also discovered whole milk yogurt! OMG. I haven't had yogurt in years and I found Noosa last week then Clover Organic Farms in Vons this week. I LOVE it. It's the best pre-barre snack.
