bootcamp update

this session of bootcamp is kicking my ASS! the last 2 workouts have been pure hell. and it's not even hell week yet! YIKES!!

after this session, i probably won't be going back for a while. A is going to be going out of town a lot for interviews starting next month, so I'd miss way too many sessions.

so i don't go back to my old ways, i'm going to work with a personal trainer again. i'll have someone to answer to and keep me in check. i'll only be going once a week, but our gym has a lot of classes (several that my PT teaches, too). i'll still be working out at least 5 days a week, maybe more if i want to go to certain classes. we'll see what my PT wants me to do.

on one hand, i'm disappointed that i have to give up bootcamp for now... but on the other, i've kicked ass with it! it's something i didn't think i could do. and now i'm over halfway though my second session.

i may go back after the holidays, but i haven't decided yet.

Progress pics

OK, so I took some progress pics. I know everyone who's reading this loves seeing my flabby body. ;-)

My body aches

Bootcamp has been ass-kicking this week. It scares me to think about what hell week will be like this time.

My muscles are tired. They don't hurt so much as they're tired.

I've gotta say, I really enjoy these workouts. Maybe not so much DURING, but definitely after. And waking up at 5:40 in the morning sucks ass. But I really do like the workout.

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!
