30th Birthday, Grit update

Day 2 of Grit down! It's probably the hardest I've ever been pushed/pushed myself! The first class I had no idea what to expect. My good friend Alicia signed up last minute and I know two other girls in the T/Th class. The first class was Grit Plyo and it was BRUTAL! My heart rate maxed at 183 and I was seeing stars thinking I couldn't go on or I'd 1. blow chunks or 2. be that girl, who passes out. I pushed through it and finished the class! And even came back for today's class, Strength. This was way better than Plyo but still kicked my butt. Strength targets the big muscle groups. I just ordered a very appropriate shirt, Buck Furpees. This was my first time during burpees, at least more than 2 of them at a time and they suck and I'm terrible at them. I have no upper body strength what so ever! (But I'm working on that!) I get so excited at the end of class because, IT'S OVER and I get to check my Polar heart rate monitor to see how many calories I burned and what my heart rate was. Handy little watch I tell ya.
Holla. Bring on Tuesday's plyo, AGAIN!
My diet has improved as well. Except for yesterday, yesterday was my 30th birthday and I said screw it! Not really, I had a coffee from Starbucks, ate super healthy at Chili's for lunch and pretty healthy at dinner, except that piece of turtle cheesecake my husband forced me to eat at the station. Station 6 is a legit crew, love them all. They all pitched in and bought me THE LITTLE MERMAID!!! and a pretty cool "you know you're 30 when".....card. You can rap the whole Fresh Prince of Bel Air, you rooted for Corey and Topanga, you had a trapper keeper......etc
Speaking of 30, yea I turned 30 yesterday and I'm still able to walk! yay! 30 has never been a big issue for me. Just another year and it's been great so far. I woke up to both my boys in the kitchen with gifts and singing Happy Birthday. I met my mom at lunch where she gave me the most awesome gift I ever could imagine.....

This beautiful diamond was in Gram's wedding ring my papa had given her many moons ago. It turned out just amazing. I had a wonderful day! Thank you all who called, texted and gave me wishes on FB and Insta.
xox.

Hudson is doing so great in Kwon Do. He's listening so well and is really getting the punching and kicking down. At home it's a little different. He's been talking back a lot and telling us "that didn't hurt" when we spank him :-/ stinker. We've had to take a few of his favorite toys away lately and even a Friday night at Chita's house. He straightened up real fast after that.
