Boot Camp......ummmm its not for wimps lol

So I finally decided to suck it up and just bite the bullet and GET IT DONE, I woke up this a.m. and before breakfast I got dressed, laced up my bright pink tennis shoes, took a deep breath, pushed the negative thoughts to the side..........then came the real challenge:

Figuring out the remotes and how to make my DVD work!!!!

Just kidding!! :) That really did take me a minute or two, but then I got to the REAL stuff, Bob Harper's Biggest Loser Boot Camp workout Warm up, Level 1, and Cool Down!!! It was intense, I had to take a breather once, but I stuck with it and DID it!!! Then to prove to myself I could still stick to my cardio I've been doing (power walking) I hopped straight onto the treadmill (I actually just accidentally typed dreadmill, but I fixed it......but, it is so that some days too lol so it could have worked) without even thinking about it for 35 more minutes!!! I was WHOOPED doing it before breakfast so I now have mixed emotions about working out first thing in the morning with no breakfast!!  I LOVED working out early, feels GREAT, but the no breakfast part made me feel like I could barely push myself to do what I know would have been easier with at least a light breakfast behind me!!!

So now the next leg of the journey begins!! If you push too hard to fast, you have no where to go, I learned that the hard way (at least when you have as much to lose as I do).  That's not to say don't push yourself, but know your limits.  So I've been doing strictly cardio with some light arm and core exercises thrown in from time to time, but I'm stepping it up to strength training AND still doing my power walking!! This should be FUN LOL :) I'm truly excited about it, that's not sarcasm LOL I promise......ok well maybe just a little!!! But in all seriousness I am excited about the progress I've made and I know its time to expand what I'm doing to see the progress continue.........so.......HERE WE GO!!!! :) 

I'll blog again next week as usual on Tuesday or Thursday or maybe both to give an update!! This is an "off day" but since I did something new, why not change it up, right?

Have a blessed day everyone

And until next time,
Healthy Me :)
