SPARTAAAAAA!!!

So yesterday (Friday) I went to a Zumba class for the first time in FOREVER!! I had forgotten how mind and body intensive that class can be, especially when "Aunt Flow" is visiting. I was so worn out by the end of the class and I am pretty sore today. But, I look at the bright side.. I burnt a TON of calories!!

On a side note, I found an AWESOME website for people who want to push themselves physically and mentally. It is called the SPARTAN RACE!! Something that I LOVE about this website, they offer a military discounted Flat Rate entry fee for all the races. How cool is that?? I would definitely like to try the Spartan Sprint when I get back to the States. I think it would be AWESOME!

They have 4 levels of races:

1. The Spartan Sprint ~ 3 mile Mud RunEndurance Trail Race w/ 10+ Obstacles 

2. The SUPER Spartan ~ 8 mile Mud Run Endurance Trail Racew/ 15+ Obstacles  

3. The Spartan Beast ~ 10-12 mile Obstacle Race from Hell (DIRECT QUOTE from website)

4. The Spartan "Death Race"~ 48 HOUR Obstacle/Endurance/Trail Race WITH Mental/Physical Challenges!! 90% of people who enter the race DO NOT FINISH!! 

Their motto is as follows:

A Spartan pushes their mind and body to their limits. 

A Spartan masters their emotions. 

A Spartan learns continuously. 

A Spartan gives generously. 

A Spartan leads. 

A Spartan stands up for what they believe in, no matter the cost. 

A Spartan knows their flaws as well as they know their strengths. 

A Spartan proves themselves through actions, not words. 

A Spartan lives every day as if it were their last.

I think everyone (including myself) needs to follow these rules DAILY!!

I am packing up my workout gear for later. I want to do some HEAVY LIFTING tonight! I also printed out the Dancer's Body Workout (by Heather Morris of Glee ~ <3 that show!!), a Kettlebell and a couple of other workouts from Women's Heath. Can't wait to go to the gym tonight!

Workout wise, I feel as though I am getting stronger. My pants are fitting REALLY loose, even though the numbers on the scale are not going down very much. The inches are what count to me!

Anyhooooo.. I will need to go take a nap before work tonight so that I am rested.

Have a great day!!
