Last Bootcamp Tuesday: And It's The End....

So this is my last week of bootcamp. Thank you baby Jesus. How am I doing health wise...fabulous. I look at my body and I'm proud. I feel good and I look great. At boot camp there is a couple of things I learned that I want to share. Some myths if you will that I want to set straight.

  1.  Jesse the trainer is no where near Major Payne. He's more like major perfect. He has the balance of encouragement, correction and support that I didn't think existed. 
  2. You need to work out for at least an hours a day 5 days a week to lose weight. 3 days is just maintenance. 
  3. It's not just about exercise it's diet too.
  4. If you don't focus on the numbers and more on how you feel you accomplish more. 
  5. I can not work out when I am exhausted. Sleep, sleep, sleep is very important to maintain energy levels and mood stability. 
  6. I'm a lazy, emotional eater which means that if I don't prepare it before hand or have a plan I will eat whatever is convenient. So I must plan and not purchase the bad stuff.
  7. There is no way  I could ever do this for a substantial amount of time. Maybe when I am in much better shape. I do plan on doing another camp with Jesse in September. That one will be out doors. So we shall see what that's like probably something like this ...

Signifigant Sunday...Last Day of Big Bri

This is not me. But where I was heading. Scary?!
After going all day (with a sickly child I might add) missing church, snuggling with her, doing laundry, cleaning, reading and napping I finally figured out what I could post. Tomorrow will be my first day at Meridian Adventure Boot Camp for women. Thanks to citysmart.com I got a 4 week boot camp for a ridiculously low price. So excited. Yes I'm totally stoked to get up at 5:30am for 5 days a week for 4 weeks. I am giddy happy to be required to not say the words hoho, donut, ding dong or candy bar on pain of 20 push ups. I am motivated to keep a food journal that I have to turn in every Wednesday that is a recording of every minute thing that I have ate.

 I have gained 5 extra pounds this week because I knew this day was coming and I have pigged out royally. I'm just ready for a change. Some of you may ask what are my weight loss goals. Honestly the goal is to establish a weekly workout routine at a set time and stick to it while being aware of the food I put in my body in order to feel better. The plan is to blog about the progress every Tuesday.  Until then....
