FINALLY!!

HOT DAMN! I'm FINALLY seeing some results. Took way too fucking long, but I'm sooo glad it's finally happening!

I don't know exactly how many pounds I'm down.. Last I checked, it was 5, but I know I've gone down more. I officially weigh at the gym but compare it to our home scale. I know the home scale is going down and I'll weigh at the gym on Saturday.

This week is the first week of the second session. I'm not so sure I'm going to go back after this session b/c of some things that I've seen going on. If I don't, I'll go back to working with my personal trainer once a week (it's all we can afford right now).

My workout routine has definitely settled in and I do like it. I like the bootcamp workout a lot, so I'm pretty disappointed about not going back. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I go to bootcamp. Tuesday and Saturday I go to the gym and have Thursday and Sunday off. There's a new Zumba class on Saturday mornings so I'm really excited about that. It's sooo hard to get both of the kids to the gym in the evening, then get them home, fed and in bed. Plus, it's Tuesday night or Friday night, so I either have to work out the next morning or I've already worked out that day.


That's all to report from me for now!!

One session down

Finished my first session of bootcamp today. As far as weight goes... no change. As far as clothing fitting differently... no change. I've seen a difference in my endurance and strength, but that's it.

I've completely changed my diet. I've been going to bootcamp 3 days a week and to the gym another 2. I'm at a loss. But I figure at some point, something has to give, right? I signed up for another session at bootcamp and will see how it goes.

Emotional eating

I'm soooo guilty of this. What a rough weekend.

At least I've been chowing on cauliflower and hummus instead of the chips sitting in my kitchen. I did have some cake though...

Bring it on!!

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for your encouraging comments. I can't tell you how much it helps. Really.

Tomorrow, the hubby and 2 of our friends (a couple) are going to the Saturday Meltdown at bootcamp. I'm actually very excited! I can't wait for A to see how it is. He knows it's hard, but I want him to do it. It's a bit longer than normal, so hopefully I don't crash and burn!

Monday begins hell week at bootcamp. Feeling scared but confident. The confidence may fade after tomorrow.

I'm signing up for 3 more months right now (though I fully intend to do a total of 6). I must like the torture!

Bye bye, bad attitude

OK, so maybe it's not gone completely, but it's mostly gone. I'm not quitting. And I plan to continue with my goal of a total of 6 sessions.

I'm being too hard on myself, I know. I guess I'd hoped I could do more by now. As far as how I look... Well, I don't know if it's changed or not. The hubby can't tell b/c he sees me all the time. And I haven't seen any friends in a while.

So yeah. Bratty tantrum over. :D

I want to quit.

I think that pretty much sums it up. Not much more to add to that.

Shin splints

Apparently, I have shin splints. They hurt like a bitch, too. I was so proud of myself b/c today I was able to run a lap with everyone else at bootcamp without having to stop and walk. And now? Now I've been told to WALK while everyone else is jogging. :(

Talk about a blow to the ego.

So I went to the track

I hate running. LOATHE running. Today kicked my ass. I walked 1/4 mile warm up... then did 1 mile of jogging and walking. errr... walking and some jogging. i forgot how much i hate it. and how bad i am at it!!

basically, i jogged the curves and walked the rest. kicked my ass, i tell ya. i probably won't go jogging for 2 weeks though. next weekend family is in town. and during the week, it's hard to get out to the track b/c of the kiddos. yes, i could do the treadmill, but i swear that's even worse!

Tomorrow is my day off! WOO HOO!!! Then monday it's back to the grindstone.

I gave my instructor my food log. I thought i've been doing sooooo well. She did say it wasn't too bad, but told me less fat, more fruits and veggies. Booo!!

New Goal

I have yet another new goal. I want to be able to jog a mile without stopping. Right now.. Ha!!

Tomorrow morning, I have a date with the track.
