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.

Day Twelve - 5/2/08

Ah the "last" day of boot camp. Well, the last day of this four week period.

I'm pleased with my results. Maria (the trainer) forgot to give us the sheets with our info on it, which is why I didn't blog Friday. I STILL don't have the info, but this is what I remember.

I lost only 2lbs. Now, at one point I was down 10. My average was about 6lbs. Why it's only 2 I'm not sure. I can tell you this, I showed 2lb weight loss, but the three women who weighed after me, showed a gain of about 2lbs each. We are thinking that it's possible that the scale was off by a little. Either way, it's ok. My energy level is what I'm happiest about.

I lost a few inches all together. I can't remember what they are, so once I get the sheet I'll post them. My sit ups and push ups remained about the same. However, my running.....YAY....I took a total of about 2.5 minutes off of my original time! :-) I'm excited about that.

So, more updates when I have my stats!

Thanks for checking in on me!

Day Six - 4/18/08

I shaved a minute off my mile!!! 16:48. :-) It was a good run.

However, my push ups stayed the same and I lost one on my sit ups. Oh well. :-)

The shoes feel great, but being 6lbs lighter feels better.

We did crunches, lunges, sit ups, and some others that I don't know the names of, but they look silly and make you work! It was good all around.

I can't wait until Monday!

Tomorrow I'll go for a walk when I get up and Sunday I hope to go for a run.

Thanks again for checking in on me!
