Every post I feel as if I need to apologize for my sloppy blog practices. If anyone was holding their breath for me to get some new material up they would definitely be long gone!
Nonetheless, some big things have happened since the last time we talked. But, all that is coming to mind in this 30 minute window I have is my first week at bootcamp! I absolutely love my Hot Bahama Mama Bootcamp that my cousin, Robyn, is doing for my mom and me! Uhm, I've only been twice, but it's all I talk about. I cannot stress how beneficial it is for me to have obligations to workout and push myself. I like the feel of an outdoors bootcamp... Well nice weather outdoor bootcamps.
The first day of bootcamp I'm pretty sure the wind chill factor was like 10 degrees, and I'm not even making that crap up. We ran, and my throat was burning soooo bad. I Twilight referenced that mess to how I imagine Bella felt towards Charlie when she turned into a vampire (hope that didn't spoil anything! haha). It was rough. The very first thing we did was run 1/2 mile. I haven't ran in ..... I don't even know when (sad, I know). We had some stairs and sprints and yoga and and and it was all fabulous. Tons of stuff, high energy, very focused. I was impressed with Robyn and her little clipboard being legit. I was glad we weren't out there wandering around half-assing our first time. No. We were out there with determination and purpose.
The second day of bootcamp was a lot easier as far as the running. We added to the sprints and OMG did it kick my butt. Can I just say that by myself I would NEVER sprint?! Like.....even now. I am so not doing that by myself at this juncture in my life. Maybe later on, but for now I'll have the whip cracked down lol. All-in-all it was another very successful day at the ole Bootycamp! ;)
Tonight is our next and last session for the week. 2 hours away and I am super pumped and ready to get it on the ball. We're adding another set of stairs tonight and if this thing had emojis it would be the little smiley guy who's eyes are popping out! Granted, when I hear extra set of stairs, I immediately start thinking about my butt. I'm pretty vain about why I work out, at least like a good 70%. I want that butt looking good!
I'm headed home from school now to get changed into my workout gear and get a pre-workout snack. Here's a ton of photos (mainly from IG) for your viewing pleasure!

ReplyDeleteOh we definitely are haha. Normally we are alone, but the other day some event was happening and we were getting looks lol. Probably because I was bent over making my cousin feel my hamstrings lol. It was probably really awkward! Thanks for the comment! Hope you are doing great as well!
