Here are a few pictures of the entire process:
Here is the ONLY picture that shows a little of what it looked like beforehand (oops). The sheetrock is going up!
the best little thing that's ever happened to us
Team Yellow!
A lively, very diverse group they are! They come ready to work and are always up for a challenge. We've had 5 workouts together so far (each team trains twice/week with their trainer - the rest is on their own) and each one has been a little different.
Some awesome moments so far:
Day 1: Josh finishing his modified push ups that he didn't think he could do. The team was cheering him on, his arms were shaking and the smile on his face when he finished was priceless.
Day 5: Cathy showed up a little late, and while the rest of the group was on their 2nd round of Overhead Ball Slams/Squat w/Ball Throw/Jumping Jacks/Kettlebell Swings, she busted butt and was caught up with them by the time we finished in the gym
Day 5: Katrina finishes her inverted rows and traveling lunges, then goes to the stairs for another round, even though she had finished everything I'd asked of her. That's commitment.
Every Single Day: Chris and Darlene are coming in daily for extra workouts. I know the others are, too - but they are really pushing themselves. Chris even comes in when his wife's team trains to get a little extra. Nothing makes me happier than to witness people "seeing the light" into a healthy lifestyle.
There will certainly be more to come on Team Yellow. Our Week 3 weigh-in is tomorrow, so here's to hoping they eat well and stay hydrated! :)
Pasta Day! Which, for anyone that knows Nate and I, is just about every other night. And Lucy seems to be following in her mother's footsteps, loving pasta to the max! And let's not forget how much she loves to be messy. So throwing all that amazingly sqiushy pasta around makes it that much more enjoyable for my little love!
Playing Outside. Anything involving being outside makes this little one squeal with excitement. She runs in circles, throws herself on the ground and is genuinely happy to be outside. It also isn't uncommon for her to walk around the house all day carrying her coat should she happen to not be out in the fresh air.
Kudos to my brother Mikey for unknowingly reminding me of The Sound of Music over the weekend!
Our friends Jen and Kathy showed up for the fun, and they dressed up as well!
Kathy represented as the Real Housewife of Penobscot County, Jen as Tink and myself as Uhura.
Lots of wine, lots of fun and lots of laughs! Thanks for such a fun night, everyone!
Happy Halloween!!
