BOOT CAMP!!!

Well I did it!  I still can not believe it myself.  I got up off my butt and started a workout routine!  Actually I go to one.  It is called Boot Camp with Jess!  This program is a Military Style Boot Camp for 6 weeks.  It is a daily program M-F for an hour a day.  I go to the class that starts at 7:00 am.  My first week is over.  They call the first week "Hell Week".  During that week you must wear a 30 pound vest throughout your workout hour!!  I must say I'm pretty sore and loving every moment.  Monday and Wednesday you workout the upper body.  Tuesdays and Thursdays the lower body and then on Friday you meet at a High School football field for cardio day.  This Friday being my first week I had to do the Cardio day with my 30 pound vest on.   Because it being military style before we worked out on Friday morning the Instructor painted our faces--- (when I got home Dan thought I had been working on the car. lol)
Well at the football field we marched and sang for 2 laps around the track and then we had to run the last 2 laps making a mile.  Well I got to thinking about the last time I ran a mile.  I honestly believe it was in Jr. High!!!!  About 22 years ago!  I know what you're thinking--I'm totally out of shape, I agree with you--that's why I'm doing this!!!  After the mile was over we had to run bleachers---I think we ran them for a good 30 minutes--up and down, up and down, up and down, the push-ups, the bleachers again!!!  It was crazy but when we finished I felt so great!!!  Sore but so great!  The best part is that tomorrow I no longer have to wear the 30 pound vest.  One of my New Year's Resolutions was to "get into shape" 1.  Fit into a size 6/8       2.  Be able to run 3 miles (well I can do  1/2 of  one so far) 3.  Look great (according to me) in a bathing suit by summer and 4.  lose 15 pounds.   I'm excited that I'm finally doing something about it!.  I'm really not a lazy person but I certainly was not motivated to do this by myself.  I'm excited to see how far I've come once the 6 weeks are over!!!  For more information go to www.bootcampwithjess.com!!!  You'll love and then we can do it together!!!!!

Good for you. Sounds hard. What do they tell you about eating? That's where I stuggle. I can work out everyday for an hour but then I eat, defeating the whole purpose. I remember the very first day my trainer came, I have never been so sore in my life. That was the last time though. So you shouldn't get sore anymore. I hate being sore, you can't even walk up and down the stairs without your legs wanting to give out! Well let me know how it goes. Sounds like a great idea, I just could not get up at 7:00am.
