It's been a busy 10 days so I haven't been blogging. I gave myself a graduation party on Saturday. In May I graduated from Curry College with a BA in Communications after 5 1/2 years of night classes. The summer was too busy so I waited until the Fall to have a party. All last week after Boot Camp I came home and cleaned and prepared for the party. No time to blog. So here's a condensed version of what happened at boot camp last week:
My ankle is still swollen and slowly healing so my workouts have been adjusted to compensate for my ankle. I do the row machine instead of running. The workouts each day seemed to get progressively more difficult. More reps. More weight. More running. More cardio. Cyndi said something like, "It's the third week. It should be harder." Even though it seemed harder it was actually more of the same that we had been doing the past two weeks. I enjoy the boot camp days the best when it involves more weights than cardio. But since you have to give your muscles a days rest in between, two days of boot camp are more intense cardio. I enjoy all the workouts and when I'm doing cardio I am so aware that I am burning calories and fat. But building muscles helps to elevate your resting metabolism and as Martha Stewart says, 'That's a good thing."
The cool thing is though, no matter how hard it is, it's fun and I have a great time. A great time working out..did I really write that? Who is this person? I am finding that I enjoy this workout. I enjoy moving my body. I like building muscles and strength. I still don't like burpees but maybe when I can do them right I will (but I doubt it). I don't think I've lost a ton of weight. I cheated and weighed myself and it looks like 5 pounds or so. I'm confident I've lost inches though.
I'll find out on Saturday when I go back for post boot camp testing.
