Two wonderful years of marriage and 20lbs later I have started bootcamp! What is bootcamp? Well the first day I would say it was nothing short of torture but in a fun, "Im getting my butt in gear" sort of way.
To explain a little better, we had a wonderful stake conference this past weekend and the Saturday adult session had a running theme of being your best self. Scott and I had been talking about different aspects in our lives we wanted to be better at and one of mine was to be in better shape. ( A nice pretty shape, not the blobish shape that prefers sweat pants cuz' she cant fit in anything else kind of shap) Well who happened to be sitting behind me in Saturday's conference session? A personal trainer from my ward! Turns out she was starting a boot camp the following weekend. It's for women of all shapes and sized and athletic abilities. We get together in the evenings at a park and well Kjell ( our trainer) has us run sprints, condition and run obstacle courses. We even had to run the mile and be tested on situps and pushups. I have not pushed myself this hard in so long and I am loving it! Today while running sprints some of us girls were chanting "skinny jeans" and "skinny buns" for inspiration. I have come home exhausted but feeling so good that I am doing somthing to work towards my goal! Tomorrow morning I have my first personal training session in the gym, wish me luck.
And if I call you to go out for icecream, or ask you to join me and my hubby for a dinner out... just chant "skinny jeans", and then maybe I can shift to having a piece of fruit with you or a healthy homemade meal!
Wish me luck and heres to a healthier me!
