Bootcamp rocks

Have I told you that I love Bootcamp?? I love my Bootcamp family and I love the support we all show for each other, even when we are dying and can barely move, we still cheer each other on and encourage each other to keep going. It makes me happy!

Today was good. Loved the workout at Bootcamp and I also went to the gym with my friend Sheryl. It was tons of fun. Katrina gave us a good workout and we had a good time. 

So tired, so sore. Glad that tomorrow I only have one workout. My back is kind of hurting. It is in a place that is hard to stretch. Maybe I need to put a heat pad or something on it. I don't know. I do know that ibuprofen is on the diet today!! 

I have been doing really good in regards to eating healthy. I have stayed away from the cookies and candy and have eaten so much healthier. I refuse to give up my hot chocolate. It's gettin cold!!! 

My weight has started coming down again (I know, surprise!!) or not....it's all about the eating!!! 

So that is today's post. Hope you all have a fabulous evening. :)

Gonna feel it in the morning

Today is endurance leg day. I endured it. Twice. 

Killer workout and if I wasn't a glutton for punishment, I would have walked out the door before the 9amers showed up.......ahem.....well one of them anyway. Alas I stayed and did the workout with the pt that showed up. 

Sitting in class tonight was fine, until I had to move. Then I didn't like it so much. 

I LOVE BOOTCAMP!!!!!

Here is the most recent picture of me. Hope you are all well. Thanks for all the great support!!

Veterans Day

To the men and women who have willingly put their lives on the line to protect my freedom and this great country, I say to you 

I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many good friends and family who have willingly served this country. I would feel very ungrateful if I didn't say Thank you. 

Today was good. I felt good and my knee held up pretty well. I was able to run at a 5.0 today. I'm hoping this is the beginning of better knee days. My shoulder was having trouble, but is survived. Pretty sure there is a storm coming in. It tends to act up when that happens. I've been trying to do better with my eating again. I got a little lax and allowed myself to eat things that are not necessarily bad, but also not on the diet. I have maintained my weight but not lost. The inches are still coming off though!! 

Tomorrow is a new day. :) I am so thankful for  the people in my life who have helped me to change. Thank you all for the support!!

Fourth and accountability <---yes I did just make a football joke

I start my forth session tomorrow. Fourth!! When I began my journey, I had no intentions of staying with it this long. My measurements keep going down and I am having to buy new clothes just to keep them on my body. I have been blessed with several gifts that have helped me to get some clothes that fit. I have some very awesome friends and family. 

I bought a couple nice shirts this weekend thanks to a gift from a friend.  Both shirts were the most expensive clothing items I have ever bought in my life. I bought them from the regular women's section, not the "big" section. I love them. 

I feel different. I feel happier, healthier, and stronger. Bootcamp has made a huge difference in my life. It has changed my life for the better. I know that without Bootcamp, I never would have done it or still be doing it. Yes the song from WICKED "For Good" is going through my head. (My life is a song)

I have recently been going to a trainer to use up some training sessions I have been paying for at my old gym. I have stuck with her for several weeks and I know that has helped as well. She is awesome!!

 I have lost 23 inches around my stomach now. When I think about how big that is, it is crazy. Seriously that is one inch short of 2 feet!! I was watching a video of one of my voice recitals and I couldn't believe how big I was!!! Insanity!!!  Maybe I will post it for you to see. Just don't judge me for my vocal skills.

I am truly looking forward to starting this new session and kicking it into gear!! I'm going to start blogging every day again to keep myself accountable. Instructor Thomas, I give you permission to drop me if I don't stay accountable.

Thanks for being such awesome supportive people. You are all the best ever!!!
