So let me update you on bootcamp!

I have failed in getting on my blog to tell everyone about my bootcamp saga. Believe it or not I am doing my THIRD 4 week session already!

First Bootcamp:

The very first day I showed up bright and early just like I was supposed too and started bootcamp. I can honestly tell you that within 10 minutes of starting I was literally thinking "what the fu*ck have I gotten myself into?" It was truly one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am so out of shape and so overweight that I could not get through the freaking warm up. I kept going though the best I could and made it through the first day but not without regrets.

Everyday was so hard and I seriously thought I would not make it through the month. My eating was on point during bootcamp for about 2 weeks and then I didn't do what i should have done the rest of the month. When the month was over, I felt so accomplished for getting through it that I don't remember feeling so good getting through something in my whole life. The results spoke for themselves. I lost approximately 9 pounds and 18 1/4 inches with 8 of those inches being in my waist and hips!!!!!!! I was absolutely thrilled.

Second Bootcamp:

I started the 2nd bootcamp session with a great attitude knowing that I could get through it no matter how hard it was. The 1st session I did 5 days a week but this session I did 4 days a week. 5 days a week was a lot for me and on the week off between sessions I felt completely worn out. I went through the 4 weeks without any major mishaps except that during a sprint I hurt my knee. It hasn't been right since. But I wear a knee brace to get me through and if the pain is TOO much then I ask for an alternative. Joy the bootcamp instructor is the real deal. She pushes you further than you EVER thought you could be pushed. I am really starting to enjoy going to bootcamp and am motivated to get up each morning and go. Joy just does that for a person. She is extremely positive and helps to change our "mental" attitude towards things. The second bootcamp made me stronger than I have ever been. My results weren't as good as the first month and the reason being is because I ate like shit the ENTIRE month. I lost only 4-5 pounds and about 6 inches total. I was happy to go down instead of up but my results could have been AMAZING if I worked on the food aspect of things.

Third Bootcamp:

I just started my 3rd session this past week. I am already done with the first full week. It truly does get easier every month. Don't get me wrong, everyday I struggle and think I can't go anymore but I get through it and feel FANTASTIC. I started a raw diet this month and did great for the first 5 days. I have went off the raw this weekend because I got tired of feeling like total shit. I know I should have stayed strong and I might have felt better next week but I just didn't do it. So on Monday I will try again.

Losing weight is 20% exercise and 80% food. I LOVE THE EXERCISE! I wish it was 80% exercise and 20% food and I would have this issue licked. However, things can't possibly be that easy for me so I digress.

I will keep trying and keep trying until I get it right. It's who I am. I don't give up easily and even though it may take me a long time to get it, I will finally get it sooner or later.
