I had another boot camp session yesterday and oh my I am feeling the pain today. Honestly, I had to force myself to go but I am so glad I did. It was a great session. We ran, did lunges, squats, “push-ups”, tricep dips, lots of ab work, etc, etc. etc. I feel my running form is getting better and I am less winded as well.

Thank goodness I am only do this once a week – I think it might take me that long to recover j/k! I do plan to run and do weights during the week.

Still really enjoying Arctic Zero as well as Greek Yogurt and … Popchips. If you haven’t tried any of these products, I highly recommend them. Great treats without the guilt.

Until next time….

We ran in the rain around the track. We lunged around the track. Used weights and stepped up on the benches for added fun It was really cool running in the rain until it started to pour so we moved indoors to the karate building and did some kick boxing and ab work. Ohh, I can’t wait until tomorrow!

I am really enjoying the running. I know it will take a while to be able to run any distance but it feels great to do something totally outside of the box for me.

I should have taken a picture after running the track in the rain – kinda Alice Cooper meets Betty Boop

Yup that is me running. I can’t believe how long it took to recover from Tuesday’s workout. I ran again yesterday and it still isn’t pretty. All those years of heels & never running have led to BammBamm instead of Wilma. I am enjoying it though, with all its’ pain. I love being outside and doing something active.

Thank goodness there were no cameras yesterday. Brian and I raced – he on a one foot hop and me running. Well, you know the outcome – hahaha

I did a jog/walk today with Winny and my Mom. Mom, being 82, walks and Winny and I did a jog/walk. Gorgeous day to be outside.

Will report back after the next boot camp adventure.

I started working out with a trainer in a boot camp type style. I am doing things I never have done before and I am feeling it Jogging, jumping, planks, etc are now part of the regime. All I gotta say is …Oh the pain Seriously though I like it. I enjoy being outside and doing things I haven’t ever done. Hard to believe I never really jogged, but I really have never jogged a track… walked – yes… but jogged – no. It is so different. After 1/4 mile I am winded. Looking forward to building that up! My trainer teaches a boot camp Monday – Friday at 5:30 am… not so sure that is in my future, but definitely will continue to work with her.

I met with Shae on Tuesday at 8:15 am. We jogged, stepped up on benches, did bicep curls, bench press, squats, ab work, etc. etc. I was unbelievably sore yesterday. Today is better. It is kinda funny. This was the second time I met with her. The first time we did a variety of things and I was sore the next day but not bad at all. Yesterday, however, was quite different. I felt like I was run over by a mack truck Today is better!

Anyway, this will be a diary of sorts to monitor my progress. I will eventually weigh in… not sure that will be pretty, but necessary to see how much damage I have done. I am still amazed it has been 5 months since I posted anything… Yikes!

Foods of the week – Greek yogurt, Arctic Zero and bananas. Of course I eat other things but I have been really enjoying those!
