BRRRR!

My alarm went off at 4:28 this morning. I rolled out of bed, turned on the coffee and walked outside.

Bad move.

Arctic air wrapped itself around me and chased me back inside the house.

How many will show up today, I wondered.

11 out of 24 showed up. It was near freezing, sleeting and blasts of air made the others stay home - can't blame them.

However, I have found that the best sessions take place in this type of situation.

Today was no exception.

There was something magical about todays workout: intensity, determination, willpower, and just plain overcoming obstacles.

Including the weather.

Team 1 = 24 points.

Team 2 = 23 points.

Everyone won.

Strength is up and dress size is down!

Today was a great day.

Most of them are.

But today, I had one of my fitness campers tell me that she had dropped a dress size and that her strength was up since coming to the FullForceFitness classes at Elizabeth Milburn Park in Cedar Park.

This is the kind of news that makes me really happy.

She was proud of herself as she shared this victory with me.

It made me think of a great quote:

Good job, Melissa!
