Fit Test. What do those two words mean to you? You would think it would be a test that the average person could successfully complete. You would be wrong. I consider myself physically average. Ok, I may be in the lower end of average fitness-wise right now, but I would still say I am average. So, I thought I would be able to make it through this "fit test" without feeling like I was going to pass out or be sick. I was wrong. This is arguably one of the toughest work outs I have ever done. And today is day ONE!! How can the "fit test" be this hard?? It may have something to do with the fact that you do 8 different exercises as hard as you can for one minute with not much time to recover in between exercises. Believe me when I say it is a lot harder than it looks (I know....I watched most of the video before I actually attempted it).
My mom decided to do the "fit test" with me. While I think she would have preferred sitting and watching me struggle through the whole thing (I am sure it was quite entertaining to watch), she sucked it up and joined in. Way to go mom! You know how they say misery loves company? I think that may be true. I felt much better knowing that if I actually did pass out, someone would be there to help with the kids.
Oh, and that little baby that I have? He didn't feel so little when I had to pick him up from the exersaucer and carry him into his crib after the fit test! I thought my legs were going to collapse from his extra weight. Lucky for both of us, I was able to power through and make it all the way down the hallway and to his crib without falling over! Whew! I just hope he takes a nice, loooong nap today. For the rest of today I think I will avoid holding any of my children while attempting to walk.
For now, I just have to figure out how John and I are going to function once he does his fit test this evening. After school, we still have to get kids to basketball practice, hockey practice, and make it to the grocery store at some point in time tonight (not to mention the PTA meeting that I am hoping to make). Maybe being out and about will stretch out my muscles and make them feel a bit less fatigued. But, I do have to say, I love this kind of fatigue/pain! At least I know I hurt for a reason. And, every bit of pain brings me one step closer to my weight-loss/toning goals!
Oh, and one last thing, I changed the battery in my scale. It said that the battery was "Lo" so I thought maybe it wasn't accurate. I was right. But, not the good kind of right....the heavier kind of right. Sigh....I guess I will just notice more results than I thought at the end of these 60 days!
Bring on Day 2!!
