The Freeman Experience

Staying committed to this blogging and working out thing has become a very hard task for me to do. The things getting in the way or making it harder are the normal things we all encounter such as work, home life, school and for a lot of injury and illness. I have made the commitment to not give up on this journey. I will continue to blog about my journey including the struggles and successes. I have made a promise to myself to pick it back up now that I have been released from my doctor and I am healed up now. Last week I was still a little scared that working out too much would somehow open my incision in my belly button up (I know crazy). I am going back to my schedule I set up a few months ago as follows: Monday - gym at my apartment (60 min) Tuesday - TurboKick (60 min) Wednesday - rest day Thursday - TurboKick (60 min) and sometimes BodyPump (60 min) Friday - gym at my apartment (60 min) Saturday - Total Body Conditioning (60 min) and TurboKick (60 min) Sunday - rest day ...

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. (Corny I know lol) There was another ShakeDown Reunion class added for last night and I was able to make it thanks to my girl Ashley A*K*A Sincere Truths. We had a blast AGAIN...I loved seeing and dancing with the crew. This will be the last time for a while since Taylor Gee will be returning to Cali on Tuesday. I had a whole lot of fun while he was here and got to get my hiphop in at the same damn time. Just wanted to get in a short note before returning to this thing I call homework... KeKe

Hey everybody, I went to my first workout class last night and it was off the chain. I was released by my doctor just in time. My former hip hop instructor came for a visit from California and held what we called The ShakeDown Reunion. I had such an amazing time with him and the crew. I could feel the burn after the first routine was done. This is what happens after being banned from workouts for two weeks lol. Even though I struggled a bit I made it the whole class and it was very intense, but super fun at the same damn time. I loved going through our old routines and he even snuck in a couple of new hot routines, too. I missed seeing the crew together. We all had a blast last night and can't wait for the next one.

Good morning all, I received good news at my post surgery followup appointment today. I am released back to normal activity. So today I will be going to my Total Body Conditioning class tonight and get it in. I will take it easy on the lifting and any jumping the first few classes back just to get back in the swing of things. I'm so excited because I've missed working out and my workout divas. Signed, Can't Wait

Hi everyone. Told you I'd be back. While I was not blogging I was still on the journey to a better me, but I did run into a lot of obstacles. At the end of my last post I left it at the point where I thought I injured my heel during my last 5k. It turned out I had plantar fascia (can you say painful). It is not an injury that just goes away. I was in most pain in the morning and after sitting for long periods of time. That injury took me out for a few months and I wasn't able to workout as much as I wanted/needed to. It just seemed like I had a bad run in with injury because soon after I injured my big toe on my other foot and it took me out for a bit. The thing with that is I actually waited over a month to get it checked out which made it worse. Lesson learned. I am now out because I recently had to have surgery and I have been banned from workout until I am released from the doctor. My post surgery follow-up is Tuesday so hopefully all goes well and I am released to do some ...
