Back to the old grindstone

Today was my first day back at Boot Camp. I'm happy to report I did.not.die or puke...although I was close a couple of times!

During the week of the 4th, we didn't have classes, but I attended 2 personal training sessions. Then, last week we traveled to Louisiana to visit our family. I was really worried about missing sessions, so I arranged to go to a gym while I was there. I wanted to go everyday, but we were there to visit family, right? I managed to get to the gym twice, and then one day we walked the trails of a new park...about 2 miles. I was conscious of my eating, for the most part. I think I averaged one bad meal for every two good meals. It's not the perfect scenario, but it's much better than 3 bad meals a day! We got back home around 3AM Saturday morning, so Sunday was a day of recouping...and so was Monday. DS and I ended up at the pool....I'm able to sit and rest especially with a good book in my hand!

The best part about the workout was that I was able to keep up with the other ladies!! We did all the usual exercises...nothing unusual...and I was able to hang with them! One of the other ladies complimented me on keeping up after missing camp for 2 weeks. That felt REALLY good!!

I came home and had my breakfast of an egg and toast sandwich. I always eat a banana on the way to camp, so when I add a glass of 1% milk, I've had a pretty good morning meal.

Tonight is my first night at Boot Camp 2! I hope I'm able to keep up with these ladies! I signed up with my BF, but she can't be there tonight. It actually started last week while I was gone, so I'm a week behind...but I'm thinking positive!

The bad news....I think missing out on BootCamp for so long has my motivation wavering. I really didn't want to get up this morning. In fact, I was "talking" to myself yesterday and the 'dark side' was saying,"This boot camp thing is really messing up my summer sleeping late." But I told the 'dark side' to shut up!! HAHA!! Doing this now will help me to be able to sleep late for many MORE years!

I didn't get this way overnight so I can't fix it overnight...
One day at a time...
One meal at a time...
One snack at a time...

I have to just believe because the feeling isn't real today.
