What The Hell Was I Thinking?

So... I mentioned in an earlier post that 

I am the Head Coach for my daughters

Peewee Cheerleading Team. 

And I am really having fun with it. 

I've spent nearly every day choreographing

our Cheer Routine and making up 

arm motions to new Cheers.

Then I had my daughter record me

so that I could see how the arm motions 

of the new Cheer I made up looked like.

WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!!?? 

I look HORRIBLE!!  

Yes...... I have lost 69 pounds. 

But HELLO!!!!

I still have 84 more to go!!!!

And I have to get up there in front 

of all the girls and the PARENTS

and teach this dance and cheers to the girls?

Oh dear......

 

I do not look as good as I feel.

Not even close!!!

I'm committed now. 

There is no backing out.

I will have to get up there in all my 

wiggly jiggly glory and teach

the dance and Cheers

to 24 girls while parents look on. 

Pray for me......

YEAH BABY!!!!!

I found out last night I have been

selected as the HEAD COACH

for my daughters Peewee Cheerleading Squad!

I am SO EXCITED!!!!

and nervous......

Last year was my first year to Coach, 

and at 278lbs I was so self conscious 

about my body.   I always felt like I was 

being watched and judged. I thought parents

were probably wondering why I was selected as

one of the Coaches.

I couldn't even get on the floor and stretch 

with the girls.

It was my wake up call. 

Workout

I am so sore.  

Saturday I worked on Cheers all afternoon.  My husband took the kids to a waterpark and I stayed home.  I  practiced the cheer dance  I will have to teach our squad, and I also worked on making up movements to some of the chants.  

By that evening I was getting sore, and the next morning, I had sore muscles that I didn't know existed.  Who knew that it would be such a workout?  My legs, my butt, my stomache, my sides, and shoulders, and my arms are all feeling the burn.

Here it is 2 days later, and I am still feeling it.  That's good right? 

We plan on going swimming later, and then I have to coach cheer practice tonight.   I did not work on cheers yesterday, although I should have.  Apparently, the way my body feels, I need to work on them everyday. They seem to be great at working out all my muscles.  

Once again........ I am so happy for the changes that the decision to coach has brought out in me.  I am making new friends, I'm sharing something special with my daughter, I'm feeling better about myself, and I am definately up off the couch and more active now.  

And I'm loving every minute of it.
