Survivor

Yes yes...I'm alive.  I didn't post for a few days after my Bootcamp experience and people were sending me messages to check on me.  I am GREAT!!  Fabulous (with a chest cold) but fabulous nonetheless!!

I didn't post a weight this week because TOM came Monday nite after Bootcamp so I was feeling all ycky, bloated and fat this week.  There was a moment I thought my body was dying a slow death after the Overdrive class on Monday nite.....ha ha.  I don't weigh when TOM is here. I was a little sore on Tuesday after the class on Monday nite but I was INSANELY sore on Wednesday.  I couldn't even sit down on the toilet without just falling back to sit.  Was sooooooo SORE SORE!! 

I did go back to Bootcamp on Wednesday nite and LOVED it even though I was so sore.  This was the acutal bootcamp class.  It was just as hard and intense as the Overdrive class I went to on Monday nite but at a much more realistic level for me.  There were several girls in the class and I was blessed enough to have the owner and his brother there to cheer me on.  Mike, the owner's brother and a former co-worker of mine, did the class too so it really helped having that extra support there.  They literally cheered me on and pushed me to work through the hard parts etc and that was fabulous!!  I left there feeling amazing emotionally and physically.

My favorite bootcamp activity for the nite was the Bungee Cords.  These are HUGE bungee style cordsbolted to the wall and attached to me with a harness.  We would run with the bungee on, staying low to the ground to keep from flying through the air like Superman.  You will fly through the air if you don't stay low. We did A LOT with the cords.  Ran forward, backward, around cones, putting disks on the cones, the cones kept moving further out etc.  I really liked it.  Great for strengthing the core and helped my legs warm up from being so tight and sore. 

I didn't go to the class Thursday nite because I attended the special premier of Twilight's Breaking Dawn 2 with girlfriends.  We all wore our PJs out for dinner and then walked over to the theater for the 10pm show.  We had a private theater with 100+ other friends.  Was so fun!

I've had a chest cold all weekend that finally put me down for the count Saturday nite.  This is the first time I have had any sickness since surgery.  That is amazing!  I had a sick student in the classroom all week who slimed me daily so was given that I'd get sick.  I slept almost all day today but I did get up long enough this morning to weigh and I have lost a pound.  Total of 62 pounds since June.  The inches coming off are INSANE though.  Clothes are shoes are too big!!

Had to clean the clothing drawers out this weekend.  ALL my workout clothes are too big.  I am also having to part with almost ALL of my cute college football shirts too.  Sad to see all these XL and XXL clothes GO but still sad because I do love all these clothes so much.  Cute stuff. 

As long as I am feeling better I'll be at Bootcamp tomorrow and Wednesday nite and Zumba Tuesday nite because.....Thanksgiving break is after that!!  Ready to eat some turkey!!
