Here we go again!!!

Ok So This Time I Promise. I am going to do it. I know this because I just got fired from a job that was literally killing me. I gained nearly 60 pounds in the last 2.5 years due to extreme stress. I can no longer live my life like this anymore. Stress can not be the harbinger of overeating which equates to death. Through my friendships a weight loss team has formed. We exercise nearly everyday together and I couldn't be happier. If you read my past blog posts you know a little bit about my story and I will not dredge up the past, it is time to focus on the future. I am continuing this blog about a week and half in to my exercising, so let's just start there.

In the last 2 months after being fired I lost 20 pounds because the stress was lifted and I started a new diet, or lifestyle as the Health fanatics would like to call it, which enabled me to control my food intake and with the help of exercise helped me lose an additional 6 pounds in week 1. And the Elliptical is my best friend.

Breakdown (2000 Strides = approx 1 mile):
Day 1:
Elliptical
30 Min Weight Loss - Strides: 4166 Cal: 431
30 Min Interval - Strides: 4582 Cal: 469
Day 2:
60 Min Interval - Strides: 8410 Cal: 962
Day 3:
60 Min Interval - Strides: 8078 Cal: 958
Day 4:
60 Min Interval - Strides: 8532 Cal: 934
Day 5:
60 Min Interval - Strides: 7764 Cal: 841
30 Min Weight Loss - Strides: 4106 Cal:461
End of Week 1:
5 gym trips, 27 Miles, 5966 Calories Lost and my weight came in at 6 pounds less.

It's a good start to my new life.

Day 1 No driving rule

Just took a leisurely 3.7 mile walk around the neighborhood. To my surprise a new gym is opening up about 2 blocks from my house, perfection. Day 1 no car: success.

No Driving rule Explained:

I have no job, but I still need to eat. I have been driving everywhere to pick up and come home and eat while watching TV or doing some other non productive thing. I thught, time for my lazy ass to get outside. Solution: No driving anymore unless: Job Interview, Job, or Bootcamp. I can't afford the raising prices of gas, so my solution solves 2 problems for me. That's it. I have a trip planned for the Palm Desert next weekend which I will not walk to (I live in LA), but I will do this until then.

Bootcamp again!

If anyone asks is it hard to get back in the old ways when you go off track for a few months, the answer Hell Yeah it is. Starting over after the beginning of what has to be one of the worst years (more to follow) proved to be such a bitch this morning. It'll get better, because after all, I proved it about the same time last year.
I mostly wanted to try this iPad app for the first time, so now I can update the Blog like I am supposed to without the use of my computer.

Here's The Bootcamp Schedule Weeks 1-3

(DOW) - Fit Body Bootcamp + Beachbody P90x

Week 1-3

* (TH) - Cardio/Body Weight + Chest And Back, Ab Ripper X
(FR) - Weights + Shoulders And Arms, Ab Ripper X
(SA) - N/A + YogaX
(SU) - N/A + KenpoX
(MO) - Weights + Legs And Back, Ab Ripper X
(TU) - Cardio/Body Weight + Plyometrics
(WE) - Rest + xStretch

This works out so I can still do my Tuesday Night Trivia and recover on Wednesday. And Saturday I left to be a little easier just in case what of what Friday may bring, which is why Thursday and Friday are intense, to off set the weekend. Kenpo X, (I had to look it up too) from the description, seems to be cardio - self defense (punching and kicking, etc.) I refuse to skim through the video until the day I do it, to keep myself from anticipating the worst, so I'll let you know more about what it is when I do it.

Oh and 1 final thing, I am not posting weight weekly or daily anymore. I shouldn't be looking closely to the scale when you do weight training, so I will have markers from the start of week 1, followed by week 4, until the end of the 90 days. Depending on how the pictures turn out (yes there WILL be pictures), I will post those from week 1 on week 4. A set schedule on those I will not make, but I do promise there will be some (P90x requires them).

* The only change to week 1 I have to make so far is, I did not go to Body Fit in the morning on TH.

Hello Again!

Alright, I am back. Hit a little depression streak with not having a job and finances being up in the air, but all is getting back to the norm-ish. I did go to Greece (end of June) and had a blast and it was so beautiful. I am extremely fortunate to have Grandparents who take all of the family on these trips once a year. Out of (my own) pocket expense = none, and the experience was unforgettable. Then I came home....

Nothing out of the ordinary, but unemployment was still at a stand still waiting government approval, which didn't get resolved, for me, up until the beginning of August. 2 months no money coming in and no jobs to speak of, other than clothing, and with a body like mine and not being female, it was not going to happen. But regardless, all that is in the past.

I am on a fresh start...again. Sound familiar, almost like the first post. New rules, new bootcamp, and a whole new set of weights.

Ok so we all know that Oprah's final season is upon us. My goal is to be off insulin and physically fit by the close of her season (which is around my birthday, which will be in time for my sweet sixteen times 2), with no plastic surgery to help me through. Why Oprah, you may ask, why not, I would answer. Her battle over weight and her guests' weight has been shown all through time on her show, and my battle has been through my whole life. So that's why! I am hoping to be fit before the season finale, but I am going to keep that as a goal and if it is sooner than, great!

New bootcamp:
http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/best_sellers/p90x.do?tnt=P90X_SHAKE_A2&code=P90XDOTCOM
This will be a replacement for my normal bootcamp until I can start doing the payments again. Then I will be doing BOTH.

New weights:
I got a 160lb weight system (Bar and Dumbbells) at a sporting goods store for extremely cheap (due to wrong signage). Yay for me, bad for them.

So here I go again. First day was today, which was back and shoulders and some abs. I hurt and I am sore. So now I am going to relax in the pool. See you tomorrow.

Hesitancy

Hesitancy

So, at this moment, there are exactly seven minutes before midnight, at which I turn 31. I need to get something off my mind and continue with my blog the way I intended it. Once this is done, everything else I want to talk about should come pretty easy.....

So the reason for the abrupt writer's block right after posting 4th grade is this. I was molested for many years and I do believe it started during that grade if not right before. It was not by a relative, but by my housekeeper's son. He was a few years older than me, and we went to the same elementary/junior high school, not to mention he stayed with us. I can't remember when or even how it started, but it continued for awhile.

As I said in an earlier post I think my parents must have figured out something, otherwise why the hell would they have sent me to School Counselor, because I forged their signatures on notes my teachers sent home, I think not.

As I grew older I never felt comfortable in my own skin, I never wanted to date, I always wanted to keep my friends real close, I was never comfortable with intimacy. For all these years I have been able to mask all my fears from the outside, but unable to mask them from myself.

I will never forget when I had a conversation with my mom and her friend, Susan Lowenstein, who was an extraordinary woman and psychologist. (remember I am using alias') The conversation went as follows, paint me a picture. That was it, not deep thoughts, no how are you feeling today, just paint me a picture. Not sure when this was (as you may figure out later, I will be saying that alot, my timeline is so fucked up from blocking out certain memories, that I forget when events happen and sometimes events all together), but here was/is my picture. A dark alley; the night had painted the bricks all around me a deep navy almost black color; there stood a little girl with her back to wall with a light that shone on her from the sky; she was wearing ragged clothes and had dirty hair and had a single tear that was running down her cheek. That was my picture, and that little girl was me, and there are times, that I still see her. I am not sure what Ms. Lowenstein, and my mom though at the moment, but I now finally know what it meant for myself.

Welcome to my blog!

It is now 50 minutes passed the hour that my birthday started. I am going to stop for now because as you all know, I have bootcamp in just a few hours. I said what I needed to say, in brief expect, more in depth as time passes.

Day 58

Day 58

bootcamp 0500 - 0600
bootcamp 0645 - 0730

So both bootcamps today. Nothing really to report, although when Insanity Max say Max Recovery, it still means you sweat and it still hurts. Oh well, still moving along...

Day 57

Day 57

bootcamp 0500 - 0600
bootcamp 0710 - 0805

After a grueling morning bootcamp I needed to take a little bit more of a break than I usually do. So I started the next one a little later than I had planned, but since I am un-employed I could do that. I also have to say that last night I was with my trivia team and out till midnight with them. I was so hungry that I had stopped by a subway to get my $5 dollar footlong. Sounded good at the time, but when I woke up this morning at 3:30, I could still feel that $5 dollar footlong nestling around in my stomach. I had to still eat breakfast (Jenny Craig Pancakes and Vegan Sausage) because I need the energy for bootcamp, not to mention I need it to take my pill in the morning as well. Well into the middle of the first bootcamp I think it finally rested and was able to continue without the nauseousness. But that's that.

I've included a gross video of me rinsing out the sweat from my T-shirt just to give you a glimpse of just how hard I am working to make my dream come true. Enjoy, but not too much because that would be weird. Enjoy the rest of your day, I know I will :)

Day 56

Day 56

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0630 - 0730

Yeah, still not getting easier. These circuits are so freakin' hard. I put my shirt on the shower curtain rod and moments later, I see it start to drip. Gross I know, but you have no idea. Good news though I now know what a side push-up is, bad news.... I now know what a side push-up is. I must say that I am surprised that I am not sore (currently knocking on wood). Even though it is difficult it is do-able, and eventually I will get better. Till tomorrow blog followers, aka Mom and Dad.

Monday to Monday Days 48 - 55

Day 48

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0600 - 0700

Jenny Craig -5 (which means I gained 6 since the first week)

So, clearly frustrated as far as weightloss, but let's face it I hardly consider this past week as an accomplishment with missing a few bootcamps here and there. As far as bootcamp goes I went to 2 of my class bootcamps, no Insanity today (which is scheduled as recovery week)

Day 49

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp N/A

I bowed out of the second bootcamp today. Not really sure what happened today. I am still a bit lazy, and I figure since it is recovery week in Insanity, if I just do my normal bootcamp, that should qualify as recovery for the second one. Like I said Lazy....but also have a huge day tomorrow.

Day 50

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
DISNEYLAND 1030 - 2130

Today is the day I go to Disneyland to celebrate one of my good friend's 40th birthday. I actually did really well today as far as eating, for I did not eat anything at Disneyland- just made myself a protein shake, one Jenny craig energy bar, 1 orange, and 1 bag of Jenny Craig popcorn, and I have to say I indulged a little and had 1 of those cream cheese filled pretzels (I know, but so good). In the day I feel pretty proud of myself, at night not so much. At the end of the day we all felt so tired, so on the way back, after dropping off all my friends, I went to pizza hut to order a pizza and chicken wings.....I had nothing all day, and I was starving and exhausted, pizza sounded so good.

Day 51

Bootcamp N/A
Bootcamp N/A

Do you honestly blame me. Disneyland was the cause of missing both bootcamps today, still so tired. All I did today was sleep......and finish the leftover pizza and chicken wings (I KNOW, bad DREW)

Day 52

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0700 - 0800

So back to a normal day today. I did the recovery exercise of bootcamp #2 and I have to say I know, now, why it is recovery. It is very slow and burns in each exercise but does not make you huff and puff like the other days. What a relief......

Day 53 Saturday....

Bootcamp N/A

Yes I took another day off. Leave me alone. I have been working my ass off (Literally) for the last month and a half or so.... This is the last day before the storm which is....... INSANITY MAX!

Day 54

Rest Day

Shut up! Yes another rest day, I get it.

Day 55

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0650 - 0750

Jenny Craig -15.8

First can I say, Holy EFFFING CRAP! Insanity Max is quite difficult. It's an hour opposed to 40-50 minutes. Each circuit feels like my shoulders are going to collapse. I feel like I am going to die! Ok now that that is done,

Jenny Craig not too shabby. I finally started losing weight again. Yay me!

Holy Crap that bootcamp hurt... Sorry for saying it again, but it really did.

Sunday To Sunday Days 40 - 47

Day 40

bootcamp 1500 - 1540

Sunday, Mother's Day: So after a weird schedule I was finally able to do my cardio recovery. I realize today (Day 47) I should have done it sooner.....

Day 41

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp 0600 - 0700

Instead of doing 1 morning class and doing insanity, I just decided to double up the morning class. I hadn't seen my cousin for awhile, because he was sick, so I wanted to hang around and be his partner for the next hour. It was weight day, so it was tough, but do-able.

As Far as Jenny Craig was concerned I had gained 4 lbs. UGH! But as I said earlier, the weight will be bouncing around, but still, UGH!

Day 42

Bootcamp 0600-0700
Bootcamp #2 N/A

Instead of my trouble with the alarm, our bootcamp leader had the trouble this time. She had overslept and missed the first class, so I stayed at the facility until the second class started. I didn't have a chance to do insanity that day. On a good note though while our instructor was setting up for the 0600 class, I had a chance to get my measurements done. I lost 8% body fat since the first week of bootcamp (Totally makes up for how I felt at Jenny Craig), and most of the body measurements stayed the same, but the difference is, Not Flabby. You can now definitely see muscle development across my body, where it used to just be jiggly.

Day 43

Bootcamp 0500 - 0600
Bootcamp #2 N/A

So I woke up today and wasn't feeling all that great. I think I must have eaten something yesterday because this morning, not good. And to add to it, My quads (Upper leg muscles) felt like they were going to bust out of my thighs. SO STIFF. The one thing I will say about my Bootcamp class, she loves to do legs, and man do I feel it. Because I wasn't feeling that great I opted out of the Insanity bootcamp afterward.

Day 44 + 45

NO BOOTCAMPS AT ALL :(

Today and Yesterday I woke up late and missed my bootcamps, STUPID ALARM! I also do believe I needed to take a small break from bootcamp because of the day of not feeling as well as just being too sore. Unfortunately that also meant I was taking the final week of normal Insanity off as well. Not sure what the plan is. Next week is a whole week of Cardio core and balance (or also known as Recovery Week) before I hit the Insanity Max Training!!!!! I am thinking I am going to go ahead with the Recovery week plan and just keep going on schedule even though I hit a snag with this week.

Day 46

bootcamp 0900-0950

Today I felt like a lazy ass, so I did my Insanity Bootcamp today. The first day after two days of nothing. It felt good, and fairly easy (Still hard, but a vast difference from the first week which is what I mean by easy). I am much more confident today about my decision to do the recovery week the following and moving on to the Insanity MAX!

As a side note I am glad I took a little break because I saw my cousin after the bootcamp session and he told me the morning class has been increasing in intensity and my instructor is tearing it up in class. UH OH!

Day 47

Relax day before the storm. I am going to be bringing it for the next 5 weeks. No more bullshit, and no more excuses, THIS IS IT. Sounds confident.....I AM.

This is now the end of a crappy week and the beginning of bigger and brighter things to come. Here I go.

Days 38 + 39

Day 38

Bootcamp 0600-0700
Bootcamp #2 didn't happen :(

I woke up this morning at 0500 and was mad at my alarm clock for never going off. I was happy, though, that i did wake up at 5 on my own instead of waking up too too late. Since my bootcamp was an hour later, I went into the jacuzzi afterwards, at my parents place, to still have my daily dad visit. We make sure we are both on track on the diet, and shoot the shit, kind of how we used to when we worked together. I did not do the second bootcamp because my daily routine was off, so now for the week I missed 2 2nd Bootcamps, which I was not happy about, especially on Saturday.

Day 39

Bootcamp 0520-0600
Bootcamp 0815-0900

So both bootcamps were the two bootcamps I missed through the week. I have never done two insanity bootcamps after eachother, and for good reason. TOGETHER THEY KICKED MY ASS. That is why I waited a couple hours to recover from the first one. After missing one 2nd bootcamp the schedule was thrown off for the week, and then after the second one, it was just chaos. Cardio recovery is typically every wednesday, but since I did bootcamp on monday and nothing on tuesday, I decided to do a cardio workout on wednesday, and save the recovery till saturday, by which point I would do it after saturday's planned cardio workout. Then when i missed on friday, I now had to do 2 cardios on saturday and push the recovery back till sunday. I know u guys are sitting there saying who cares, but I am working hard to do this, and when things get messed up everything regarding my bootcamp schedule everything has to shift. Not only that but recovery is extremely important, and when that gets pushed, I get more sore throughout the week.

There is something though that I am afraid of and happy for, and that is, this is my last week of normally insanity training. Next week is Cardio and balance (for the whole week), and then it is MAX Insanity for the month. That first week will be interesting.

Days 35 + 36 + 37

Day 35

Bootcamp 1 nope
Bootcamp 2 nope

Unfortunately I was feeling crappy today and ended up not going to bootcamp. I woke up at 0430 and got dressed. Sat down at the computer and I just felt a little lightheaded and dehydrated. I looked over at the clock and it read 0500, which was the time bootcamp started. I debated on whether to go and be 5-10 mins. late. I decided to wait till the 0600 and lay down for a little. Next thing I knew I woke up at 0820 and still didn't feel all that great. So no bootcamp for either session. :(

Day 36

Bootcamp 1 0500-0600
Bootcamp 2 0650-0730

I wasn't feeling 100 percent myself today, but I went to bootcamp regardless. I was so glad to go because I actually felt great afterwards. I haven't seen my cousin for awhile and decided to wait around the gymnasium to see if he'd show up. After about 20 mins. of waiting and debating whether I should do Bootcamp 1 again, I left. I didn't do it again, because I wanted to do Insanity today as well, because that too was neglected yesterday. I got home, sat at the computer to do some "brief" chores on the time sucking box, which is why Bootcamp 2 clocked in at 0650. My pool is being re-something and I now learn that it won't be done until June 15. So now after Bootcamp 1, I drive home to do bootcamp 2, then get back into the car and go to my parents place and use their pool/jacuzzi, then after, drive home and take a shower. Long morning..... But it's worth it.

Day 37

bootcamp 1 0500-0600
bootcamp 2 0630-0710

Felt great today: whatever wasn't working seemed to fix itself. Did both bootcamps, went to my parent's place and even did a few laps in the pool before the jacuzzi. Yesterday I did our bootcamp relay, which consisted of bicep curls + lunges, 2x instead of just once. Then today we did push-ups, and lots of things that involved plank position. Bootcamp 2 then reinforced the plank postions, along with burpies and push-up jacks. No wonder when I got into the pool my arms basically said, REALLY! And my brain just told them, "Suck it up, Upper Body strength." After the few laps my arms won the argument. I'll get back at them, because tomorrow is weight (fitness weights not body weight) day again. My arms shall not be thrilled with me after the two hours are done for tomorrow. Bring it on is all I gotta say at this point.

Oh and as a side note. I saw briefly what it is in store for Insanity Bootcamp (BC #2) for month 2, and I MAY JUST DIE. The one workout I saw is longer and more hard core. Luckily I have 2.5 weeks more to prep for it. I hope I make it out of this regiment alive to even go to Greece.

Day 34 Contin.

Day 34 Contin.

Jenny Craig weight -11 for Week One

Th weight of the first day will be the starting weight. So I lost 11 lbs. since the first week. :)
share on: facebook

Monday, May 3, 2010

Day 33 & Day 34

Day 33
Rest Day
weight - 4

stuck to my diet this day, except for 2 drinks I had at night. Went to bed at 1200 and woke up at 0200 unexpectedly.

Day 34
Bootcamp 0500-0600 (YAY! They cancelled last week Thursday and Friday, so it was nice to see everyone.)
Bootcamp 0630-0700 (Fit Test Day)
weight -8

Fit Test Results
Day 1, Day 25, Day 34

Switch Kicks 30, 80, 83
Power Jacks 29, 35, 39
Power Knees 20, 64, 70
Power Jumps 17, 23, 21
Globe Jumps 4, 8, 10
Suicide Jumps 2, 4, 9
Push-Up Jacks 8, 22, 24
Low Plank Oblique 8, 40, 40

Pretty steady increase, except for the Power Jacks, but I must say this: I was jumping higher and landing a lot more controlled this week. I remember the last fit test and I may have stumbled on a few of the exercises. I am extremely happy with the results.

Now the weight.... That was before the water I drank today during the two workouts, so it may go up today. And today is also Jenny Craig day, so I will post that as an update after I go at 1100. First Week, had some downside, but now that morning bootcamp is full force again, I will be able to slip right back into my scheduled regiment.

Missing Hat

Missing Hat aka
My Escape From The Eagle

Brief Story

So I was at The Eagle last night playing pool. I walk up to the bar to get another drink and this guy taps me on the shoulder. He looks in my eyes and tells me to come over to say something. I walk over a few feet where his other two friends are and he tells me that his friend thinks I'm hot. Now normally I would be flattered, but let's just say, if you took my type, invert it, keep him in a cave for about 2 years and throw him some clothing that came off of a shipwreck, you would come close to this guy. I am not superficial in the least, but come on! I am not even sure the guy could speak, because his friend was talking for him. I just kept smiling, and was waiting for my out-line to go back to the bar and get my drink. The next line out of the friends mouth was, "are you taken." I am not, but I did not disclose this information, so I simply said, "Kind of," followed by an immediately "sorry." So I left the three of them and headed back to the bar, ok, so no problem so far.

There was about an hour left before the bar started to kick people out, so I finished up my pool game and talked to one of my friends that was there. "Goodnight Everybody," is shouted repeatedly by the bouncer, followed by a "Bar Closed." So everyone merges to the street to discuss further plans of drinking, I just wanted to go home. I look over my shoulder and there are those three people again, and the one that was talking to me, looks over and smiles. I turn my head back around quickly and just look at my friend who is talking to his other friends. I say my goodbyes and head on out to my car which is parked across the street. Of course the car that is parked 2 behind me is those three boys'! I hear that one guy again yell, "You're hot." I awkwardly smile. By this point I am just trying to get to the car, but not in a way that would make them feel bad. I reach for the handle of my truck, open the door, and sit inside the driver seat. I turn the ignition on and headlights shine. What do I see out of my passenger side window, the same guy totally standing there. My car had inches from behind and front to maneuver to exit and finally drive off. The guy is still standing there the entire time I am forwarding and backwarding in my car. Finally the front of my car has emerged from the ass of the car in front of me, and what do i see in the headlights...... MY HAT. It was in my pocket because I got tired of wearing it and it must have slipped out while I was dodging cars to cross the street. With the guys still towards the rear of the truck I decided to Leave a man behind. So now, my favorite hat, is gone. I hope someone is enjoying it (tear).

I do have to say that I hate being embarrassed, so it wasn't so much the guys I had a problem with, so much as their shouting. It would be fine from someone that I liked, but not this. I had a choice, get out of my car, run to get my hat and maybe hear more from those guys, or drive off and just go home. I chose the second. I drove away and as I passed my hat I felt stupid as to why I didn't just pick it up, but by this time, I may have ran it over with my car. What could more embarrassing than jumping out of the car and running around it to get my hat in the middle of the street? Doing all that for a hat that I may have run over with my car, or could still be under the tire! So C'est la vie HAT.

I drove on the 101-110-10 (LA Freeways) back to my house. As my night was drawing to a close, I decided to get something to eat. I drove down Sawtelle and had no intention of going to Fatburger, but I haven't been there for years and I happened to drive in front of it while stopping at a red light. So that was my destination, must have been fate, or something. I got my brown paper bag of food, and came home to eat my brief sorrows away on an amazing hamburger (it was so good, I completely forgot about it. My family used to go there after a bad meal at an undisclosed relative's house).

This will be the second Hart and Huntington Hat I have lost/got stolen. The first one was due to an asshole of a roomate... But he will come up later in another post. Till the next post, goodbye Hat, goodbye.......

Day 32

Day 32

Bootcamp (Insanity aka #2) 1000-1045

weight -3

I posted all my faults of yesterday in the day before this one, so I don't think I need to really a new update. I am excited for Monday though when i get reunited with my morning bootcamp class again. I have enjoyed sleeping in til' 1100 but I think I need the discipline of waking up at 0400 again. It makes me sleep early and also reduces the risk of eating so crappy. The days I have gone off, have been the days that I had no morning bootcamp.
share on: facebook

Day 31

Day 31

Bootcamp #2 1245
Bootcamp (Billys) Never wound up happening
weight -2

So I decided to do pure cardio which is the harder one of the week, and it also happened to be paired up with cardio abs. So I wanted to do full intensity and did those two at 1245 and decided that I really didn't need to kill myself and do a second set. So I didn't. I also realized that on day 30 that I had a day lagging for Jenny Craig, so I also chose to have an off day. I didn't go wild that day, but did have spaghetti for dinner with meatless meat. I was back on the bandwagon for Day 31, but I went to a friends show that evening and went out after, in which I drank. I also went out to fatburger because it was on the way back. Oh I know........ I haven't been there for years, and it is just as good as I remember, unfortunately. No mess-ups for Day 32. (I am posting this on Day 32, but will post Day 32 once I finish my bootcamp set and weigh myself.)

Day 30

Day 30

Bootcamp (Billy Blanks) 1200-1245
Bootcamp #2 1300-1340

weight -3

Bootcamp #1 was cancelled for today and tomorrow, so i substituted it for Billy Blanks Bootcamp. I also realized that I didn't have to wake up so damn early today either, unfortunately I didn't come to this realization before I set the alarm, so after waking up at 4 this morning I rolled over and went back to bed. I woke up at 11, aaaahhhhhh! Got dressed for bootcamp, and did it. I did feel that the first disc of Billy's bootcamp was not as challenging as my early morning bootcamp, but then also remembered how tired I was after doing the dvd for the first time when i bought well over a year ago. So I was happy to know that I am getting stronger. Now for the Intensity Workout (aka bootcamp #2), today was cardio recovery. This is the second time doing this disc, and I must say, I sweat and hurt more in this than I did in Billy's. But regardless, at least I did it and still am moving. Tomorrow it will be Intensity first and then Billy's second disc second. I look forward to when I see my class on monday again.

Day 29

Day 29

Bootcamp 0500-0600
Bootcamp 0630-0710

weight -1

My weight I would expect to be a little higher this morning. I ate more protein yesterday, to make sure I wouldn't lose muscle when working out, and also I had a problem with my blood sugar levels, and wound up eating 4 oranges in a matter of 10 minutes at midnight last night. My posts are going to be a little harder to do right at 8:30 now, because my pool is getting fixed. So I have to find new means to get my jacuzzi time in, which may mean traveling to my parents house until it gets fixed, which is what happened today. But anyways, no bootcamp #1 tomorrow and Friday, they have a trainer meeting or something, so i have to pick up an extra bootcamp somewhere. Regardless, i will still do two in the mornings to keep up with my regiment. til' tomorrow. I'm still going strong.....
