Bootcamp Bites (sometimes)

So today's boot camp left me with a discouraged feeling. But before I tell you what happened, my buddy, Angel reminded me that when we do something different, it shocks our muscles, and it is harder...but that is a good thing cuz before I talked to her, I wanted to go home and slather some peanut butter on some chocolate graham crackers and down it with some milk. So thanks Angel! Instead, I went home and had water and a hot shower!

Back to boot camp. Well, today, it was the first day in the new studio Temple Fitness. I must say it is sooooo nice. I love it! You have got to come check out the studio for sure! Boot camp was so hard. It was a huge leg workout anyway for the first 30 minutes and I was already tired. Well then Kelly pulled out the TRX bands....from the ceiling. Everything is done by gripping the bands (for dear life!) and resistance comes from our body weight. We did squats, lunges, flys, lateral raises, all using our body as resistance against this suspended band from the ceiling.....HARD! HARD...are you listening to me! HARD!!!!! Plus, I have weak hands and that made it harder. The hardest thing was when we had to put our feet in the band handles and do planks and push ups with our legs suspended in the air. I couldn't do a push up because once I got down, I couldn't get back UP! So I was mad...at myself...Discouraged too. I left a little down.

But Angel helped me. So now, I will take on those TRX bands again darnit....and I will get stronger. People, I have to say, my eating aint been as clean as last month. I wont be surprised if I didn't lose any weight. I gotta get back into the clean eating for sure. At 40, it aint so easy getting in shape......it is mainly eating for me. On the flip side, I am noticing my arms and shoulders are looking much more toned. So that is good.

So, there is my honest boot camp day. If I could encourage ya'll, in whatever you are doing, I would say, stick with it....and keep up the hard work. Press on my friends, Press on.
