Levels 6 and the start of 7

Such a slacker!  I just realized that I have not posted since July 15th which was when I was just finishing Level 5!!  So....level 6...as usual...wow!  The moves begin to really incorporate balance and I love how Tracy starts using the hand weights in the leg section.  I've had a hard time following Tracy's advice to workout in 80 degree temperatured rooms and to not use a fan...at least when I do my cardio.  But I have been doing that after my cardio while I do the muscular structure workout, and the sweat just pours off of me...as if it didn't before, right?!?!  Ha!  So continuing on now with Level 7 which I did my second day today.  I read on the TAM forums that Abcentric's Level 7 was easy I think and that people were skipping over it.  I feel like I read wrong or was going crazy when I was reading those threads.  It was not easy for me!  I started with one lb ankle weights and will probably move up over the weekend to 2 lb weights.  I'm sure I will make it to the 3 lb weights with this level...but in no way, shape or form is it easy!  I'm finding that I need to preview these later levels more than just once before I do them b/c there are more moves per leg than in the earlier levels and the moves are of course more complicated.  LOVING it!!!

I went ahead and watched Level 8 last night, even though I still have 8 days left of Level 8.  So excited to do the kneeling free and weighted arms and to go back to using the hand weights in the leg section in Level 8!!!  But that is still 9 days away still with my rest day in there...or maybe 10...however it works out depending on when my rest days are...so either way, I'm getting way ahead of myself!!!

I leave for vacation one week from Monday....woooohooooo!!!  I will be bring Tracy with me of course :)  My sister just started Level 1, and I will be seeing her for the first time in almost a year while on vacation so I'm excited to do some TAM with her!

And I've gotten two of my co workers involved in Meta too now!  I would love to become an instructor...hmmmm...maybe Tracy will open a studio down here in Florida?!?!?!

Here's me at the beach just last week!

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!
