Boot Camp AGAIN?? What's wrong with me?? don't answer that...

I obviously had way too good of a Christmas and New Year's. Here I am AGAIN doing boot camp. Why do I do these things to myself??? Was the dinner of zucchini bread, Lindor chocolate truffles, crackers and cream cheese worth it? Ah man.

Today was the test day where you count how many sit-ups, pull-ups & push-ups you can do in a minute, and then do a whole smorgasbord of terrible weight exercises, run four laps, and do it again. Last boot camp, after test day I was so sore I could barely raise my arms high enough to wash my hair. And I cheated. I only did half the reps on the second set. And I couldn't run the four laps.

This time, I only cheated on one exercise. The worst exercise ever invented to torture people. You squat down, and jump your legs out behind you, jump back in, then jump up. Over and over. I only did 10 each time instead of 20. But besides that, I did much better! AND, I can actually jog over a mile. That is HUGE progress for me! I could even wash my hair today without crying. :)

Added bonus, I have been three and a half days without treats. Yes, folks, you read correctly. No treats. My treats are now pears with cottage cheese. Woooo. I already miss my dinner of zucchini bread and chocolate.
