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!

oh Kristine - your entry reminds me, I found my CDs from when I taught my step classes so if we ever have family dinner again, I'll make sure I remember to bring them and you can use them for your aerobics classes at school. Let me know if you want to borrow any pilates DVDs too.
Good luck with the boot camp!
Boot camp sounds like so much fun...errr....not fun, but, good sweatin' to the oldies fun. I have wanted to do a bootcamp for a long time, but they get so expensive around here. Good luck! I'm sure your bootcamp remind Scott of hell week for soccer or water polo!
Love the pic! boot camp eh? That's great!
haha, that's great! I love the skinny jeans chant! haha good luck!
WAY TO GO! Wish I could do that too :)
Good luck with boot camp. I admire your dedication. I'm too wimpy for that much of a workout.
So, how often do you guys meet for this thing, is it every night? I started running today, but to be honest, running by myself tends to leave me a lot less motivated than I should be. Just wondering if I could get more info (now that I am in the ward I feel less like I am imposing) and do you think she would take a late comer?
Wahoo! Nothing like a group effort to get you going when it comes to working out. I do much better when I have someone else to work out with!
Good luck, woman! May all your skinny jean dreams come true! I will jump on that wagon once I sprout this kid. For some reason it is not easy to do pushups right now...
