Boot Camp? ummm, okay

I'm going to be really honest. Up until a week and a half ago I hadn't worked out in months. Months! I mean I would go out and walk around the block with Walker a few times but nothing consistent. I blame the heat. Or myself. Or the heat. Okay, myself. And when I had Walker last year I lost a significant amount of weight and promised myself I wouldn't gain it back. Well, guess what I did. I gained it back.

Every.single.pound.

And maybe a few more.

Ugh.

BUT ... I am making my comeback. My sister and I bought a Groupon a few months ago to start Boot Camp. Six weeks of unlimited workouts for super cheap. I would have been crazy not to buy it. Or maybe I am crazy for buying it. If anything, it's a major boost into my lack of a workout routine to get myself moving again. We started about a week ago. I feel so alive now! I forgot how wonderful it felt to really push myself and get my heart rate up! After the first workout though I felt like I would never be able to walk again. My thighs were on fire. Seriously, I could barely walk up and down the stairs in my house. Add a 25 lb. toddler in my arms too. Oh my word. I was close to tears several times.

However, the pain wore off and I've made it back for more classes. I love it. I can't believe it. I am in love with working out. I have muscles I didn't realize were there ... probably because they are hidden under layers of fat.

I try to be funny about it because if I get too serious and hardcore about my weight I just get sad. And when I'm sad I want to eat. And we all know what eating does. Yea, I prefer not to add anymore junk to my trunk.

So, I'll keep the blog world update with my stats. I will not release my highest weight until I am in a place where I feel healthy and proud of my body. But I will post my weight loss, workouts I pick up, yummy and healthy recipes and my opinions on it all.

One day at a time. I can do this.
