I hope you are all doing well. I am excited to tell you all about the last few days.
Today was the last day of my 16th week. 16 weeks! And I haven't missed a Friday, yet! I am doing really well, with the exception of my knee being hurt. I go to the doctor in two weeks. If I can just nurse it along until then, I will be good. Some days are worse than others with it. Take today for example. I had to improvise a lot today. Yesterday, hardly at all. So day by day I figure things out and change things up to do them and still keep going.
Yesterday and one other day a few weeks ago, I had the wonderful (Cough, cough) opportunity to train by myself at bootcamp. I was the only one to show up, Again. It was a hard workout too! He really kicked my behind yesterday. I was sore by the time I got home! I felt it today too. Crazy hard workout. So all you awesome PT's that are supposed to be coming to boot camp, You all missed out! You should all be jealous! OH, and Get your behinds back to UTAH! I need you! :) Missed you all yesterday, if you couldn't tell.
I absolutely love Boot camp! It makes me happy. Seriously! I still hate getting out of bed every morning, I still hate driving all the way to Murray every day, but I am happy to be doing it. My life has changed a lot. I used to get out of breath walking up the stairs to my condo every day. Now I can walk up and feel fine. Half the time I race my kids up the stairs now. It is fun. Another thing, I RUN with my kids! I do! It is fun to run with them and not be walking behind them. I can do more things that I would have never dared do before. I sleep better, I feel better, I am not sick as much as I used to be. I often get the urge to go walking or running now. These things have so changed my life.
I have run 3...count them 1- Electric Run, 2- Color me Rad, and 3-Autumn Rush, 5k's. That is correct. I have run 3. Crazy! I don't even think I could have Walked one before I did boot camp. I keep seeing 5k races being posted on facebook and I wonder when I will be crazy enough to do another. My kids like the 5k's too. Every time I sign up for one they ask if they can come too. They love that I can do more with them than I used to.
I don't spend as much time sitting around as I used to either. I can't stand to sit for very long....school is about killing me in that regard. I do love school though. I am learning a ton and moving along quickly.
Anyway, What I am getting at is this: I FEEL AWESOME!
I can see the difference in my body, I can tell when things fit better, I can feel the difference, and I know you have all been able to see the difference too. I don't know if you can tell if my energy is different or not, but I can tell it is.
I couldn't have done any of this without all of you. I have been so blessed to have so many people watching me change. It has been nice to have people to be accountable to. I haven't lost a lot this go around, but I am losing inches and gaining muscle. I hope to keep hearing feedback from all of you.
If you ever feel like you can't do it. Please know that you can! I did! If I can do it, ANYONE CAN!!
