Boot Camp...

So I went to boot camp yesterday. It was the first day of my free trial with the Seargent's kick your ass into shape Program. It was super intense, but amazing. I am a high maintenence peron to work out with. My fiance is a personal trainer, and for some reason, when I work out with him, I whine. Being an ex-smoker and ex-lazy ass means that everything hurts: my shins, my knees, my lungs...blah blah. I needed to find an environment where I can hold myself completely accountable for showing up, working hard, and seeing results. Wish me luck. So far, so good. Ten people or so in the class. Yesterday was upper body with cardio and abs. Today will be lower body with cardio and abs. We did some yoga stretches after class and I couldn't stay still because my shoulders were bouncing and shaking...it was great.

I was really worried about feeling sore, but I realized that I am not really satisfied with a workout unless I feel it the next day. I am sore today, but my soreness usually kicks in on day two, so I may be retracting this whole post tomorrow. Who knows? It is just nice to be outdoors with a group of people my own age, running, sweating and moving.

On a side note, I may be going to a small family reunion in the mountains this weekend. Should be a good time...
