Progress

I can't help but smile.

I've gotten compliments here and there from friends of mine who can see changes in my body. Although I can tell in some areas, I'm being complimented on areas I never really pay attention to. Especially my legs and my butt. But, I figured part of it was my friends/husband just being nice to me, but now that I pay attention to it, my pants fit better and there is room in my legs and butt area!

Today, I put a dress on that I had to stop wearing because it was too tight. It's a big girl's nightmare. This dress isn't stretchy so it either fits or it doesn't. For the past year, it did not fit. I decided to try it on this morning and actually smiled and said "YES!" out loud to myself.

The dress not only fits, it's loose. :-) That area between my boobs and my waist has shrunk significantly. I am so happy. :-) I hope that next year it'll be way too big on me! But if not, I hope that it at least fits like it does today.

Boot camp only lasts for one more week. I'm sad that I won't be returning. I'll really need to keep working on this on my own. I just hope I can push myself to do it.

Thanks for checking in on me.

Day nineteen - 05/21/08

I hadn't been to boot camp Monday or Tuesday. Frankly, I got enough of a workout this weekend. I think we must have walked 20 miles. Or at least it felt that way.

I went this morning and I'm glad I'm back. I'm sad that next week is my last week.

My legs (thighs) are becoming shapely! I can't believe it. I mean, I expected my tummy to slim down a little and my arms to tighten, but I hadn't given much thought to my legs. :-) It's a nice feeling.

Today we did a circuit of running, jumping, walking with bands on our ankles (forward and backward) sit ups, crunches, arm work, push ups. You name it, we did a little of everything. It was gooooood.

I believe we'll be running our mile this week. Not sure if we'll do it again next week.

By the way, our class started with 25 people this session, today we had 12. It's too bad we lost so many, it definitely is worth the effort to keep going.

Thanks for checking in on me.
