Or KILLERS, as we called them in High School. Tonight I felt like I was back in "Hell Week", the first week of basketball practice. I had no motivation whatsoever on my way to the gym. I even considered, during the drive TO the gym, taking Aiden to DQ for ice cream. Ok so it was more for me but I thought he would like some too. lol I made it to the gym and saw that "Bootcamp" was about to start. I'd never taken it and thought, what the hell. Oh.My.Gawd. If you have no motivation- take that class. It will kick your ass. It started out with some jumping jacks and pushups. Ok, not too bad, I can handle that. Then we had to get on the line. And. Do. SUICIDES. And of course my competitive self had to push it to the limits to try and beat another girl there. She and I were head to head in everything. Come to find out, it was the "drill instructor's" wife. Drill instructor, ha ha, hardly...but he had us doing some seriously hard exercises. I'm sooo competitive. I can't help but want to beat the fastest, leanest, meanest girl in the room. I'd say we were neck and neck in everything. He split the group up into 2 teams for a relay. I could see he split his wife and I up intentionally. No offense to my "team", but we were outnumbered, lol. They wanted me last to "catch us up". LOL Ok, so I was flattered, but, talk about pressure, a couple of them didn't even look like they were trying! Ahhh well, we lost of course, but it was a good sprint session for me. My heartrate was through the roof. I left that workout feeling like I worked my ass off- literally. I should do that class MUCH more often. Those who want to slack, can, and those who want a good workout will definitely get it. It's all in how much you want to push yourself. OH- one of the circuits was BOXING! I thought I'd feel stupid but I loved it. I felt so strong. I'd love to take a boxing class sometime. It was a lot more fun that I'd thought it would be.
Well my eating wasn't perfect today. I snuck a few laffy taffys at work. The girl next to me has a huge tub of them on her desk. I've been staring at them all week. So, I avoided the Pizza Hut pizza everyone was having for lunch, and ate sugar in the afternoon. You win some you lose some right? LOL
I'm spent. I'm off to shower and RELAX.

I used to take boxing and I loved it too! You should pick up a class on just boxing. Talk about a workout. So glad you are hanging in there. Don't worry about the little cheat cause it could have been much worse. Good job.
Sounds awesomely gruesome!!! Way to go!!! Good job on not letting the cheat get out of hand. Success!!!
Suicides? You just made me remember my high school basketball! And not very pleasantly!
But good for you ... showing 'em who's boss!
TAG! (see my blog)
btw, what are suicides?
I love Bootcamp class, though I haven't done it in awhile. What a great workout! Sounds like you are doing great on the fitness end. Keep up the good work!
Sounds like a great class & a LOT of fun! good for you!
Sounds like you're kicking butt - both diet & exercise-wise. WTG!
