Boot Camp

4 months later.........

I've finally found some motivation, probably because I'm at my heaviest ever and my brother is getting married in less than 2 months. I'm in the wedding and don't want to look super big. We're itching for another addition to the family, but like I've said before, I've got to get my act together and take care of myself before I have to take care of a little one growing inside of me as well.

So, we're in San Antonio now. I signed up to receive the daily "GROUPON" deal in my inbox everyday. One day it was for a boot camp with "getsexysanantonio". This would include a workout session with Jonathan for 4 weeks (3 days a week). If more than 1,000 groupons were purchased then he said he'd throw in some "free" gifts. Well, that happened and the free gifts were meal plans catered towards either men or women with recipes and just some other epamphlets for ideas on helping to lose weight.

I was sooo nervous on that first day! There were only about 6 or 7 of us there, but he's super nice. The workouts are basically circuit/interval training geared. No machines or anything, but you're constantly moving between doing something cardio to working different parts of your body.

I've gone 4 times now and I feel so much better. I hurt really bad the day after that first workout, but it was a good hurt because I knew that meant that I had done something. The first week was really hard just to get everything done. Yesterday was different. I felt like I was starting to get back into shape.

I don't know that I've really lost anything yet. I'm still having a hard time sticking to the meal plan and keeping away from my addiction. I do feel so much better though and don't sleep as much.

The class I go to doesn't start until 7:30 so that's a bit of a problem for dinner. I don't want to eat before b/c I know I'll be weighted down and not work as hard. So I don't eat until I get home, which is around 8:45 or 9:00pm.....and really that is too late to be eating. That's what I have to do for now though until the classes are over and I find something else to do for my workouts.

He took my measurements that first day. I didn't see what they were. I'll probably just have Derek remeasure me tonight so at the end of the month I can see how much I've lost both by pounds and inches.

Things are lookin' up!
