Just Do It?

So, I did it.  I rejoined the hell that is Boot Camp. 

Ugh.  

I had to go back.  

Summer is over and if I don't Boot Camp, my ass will be the size of Alasska (hahahaha).  

Today Josh gave us some eating guidelines.  

Great.  

So, not only do I have to subject my body to push ups, crunches, squats, planks and medicine balls, but now I can't eat after 7 PM.  

Fab.u.lous.

We did a "light" workout today. 

 A 2 or 3 on a scale of 10, Josh said.  

Then why can't I get up from the toilet after I pee?

That is wonderful!! I need a trainer to get me going! If my husband would assist me with burning calories more, I might not need a gym;)

Oh hon ... just invest in some of those old lady bars to put in your bathroom :-)

Honestly, in two weeks, you will feel like a million bucks and have the energy of a 5 year-old jacked up on soda and marshmallow fluff.

Promise.

Good for you. Listen, it doesn't matter how "bad" you think you did. If you're there and not sitting at home then you're winning. Good luck!

I'll do boot camp with you. Is there a tattoo at the end of this ordeal? 'Cause that would keep me motivated. I don't want my boo-tay to be flabby for the inkin', you know.

"Alasska." Girl, you crack me up. Get it..."Crack?" Hahahaha!

Oh honey! That can't be good, right? Sorry to laugh at your plight...I do feel for you; especially not eating after 7...what will you do? Eat ice cream for dinner? ha that's what I'd do.

You have something to send me? That's very sweet but you most certainly don't have to. But I'll try to be gracious and just tell you that Moose wears a 2T (in pants & shirts; I just don't know how long the shirts will be that size).

Oh I love bootcamp. No, seriously. I do. I totally dig an ass kicking workout that test my limits and gives me an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment.

Hang in there girl. Just think about how extra fine you will be when you meet Edward!!

I just signed up fot SITS and have been leaving as many comments as possible everywhere I read. But I just can't think of anything more to say. You are so funny and the comments left here make me laugh so hard! Not exactly a work out but we'll get there!

I need a workout friend. I would so do boot camp with you and wallow in the pain together...with wine and chocolate...

Oh man, going from sitting to standing (or vice versa) has got to be the WORST after a "good" workout...

I so hear you!

Gotta tell you that when I read the title I thought you were going to tell us that you and hubby had decided to embark on a "100 days" journey...having read the book "Just Do It" and all. :)

If/when you do decide to do that, please keep us all abreast (haha) of the happenings...I would love to live vicariously through someone else's 100 days journey...

I hope he slowly increases those workouts...and doesn't jump from a 2 to a 10!! Peeing's overrated, just get a depends for a while. hehe

Good for you though for doing it. That's awesome, and it feels good when you're done...before the soreness sets in, of course.

AND, CONGRATS on your win over at 7 Clown Circus! That necklace was beautiful, and you totally deserve to win something after all the amazing SITS giveaways.

YES girl!! Work that thang! I am also not a fan of the no eating after a certain time, but 7pm seems waaay too early. I always heard 9pm. Considering what time you go to bed, not eating after 7pm is plain and simple torture.

Good luck with your boot camp! My body is feeling very much the same - but I hardly ever eat dinner before 7 so this might be a problem for me!

I did bootcamp with a slave-driver for the first 3 months of this year and while I got results, it was torture. I finally had to quit when I couldn't take his regimen anymore. Hope you see amazing results and have fun! Ok, maybe not so much fun as I hope it's not misery.

On an aside, so that popsicle I just had at 1030 was a bad idea? Crap. But it was fruit! CRAP CRAP CRAP!

I think I am in bootcamp everyday. My 2 year old keeps me on the go from the time he gets up to the time he goes to bed. Then I have to oldest 2 I homeschool, along with keeping up with the house and our dog. I would never have time for a work out. Much Love

Thanks for swinging by my blog!

I just joined a gym -- which is a little less of a boot camp, particularly since I'm expecting -- but I really do hope this works out for you! the post that you link about this Boot Camp ends on a really positive note and it'd be great (for your sake & your son's!) for you to be able to return to that mindset and find some pleasure in working out.

And when I make my first post bemoaning how sore I am and how much I hate working out, I give you full permission to come snicker ;)

Oh, I so feel your pain...

I biked to and from school today...

And the gears got stuck so I had to really push it...

And I was running late so I had to bike fast...

And I've been sitting in this chair for a couple of hours now, because it bloomin' hurts to get up!!!

I'm getting back on that bike tomorrow though...

I think I'm the youngest one at 53 in my water aerobics class. I work it hard for an hour+ It doesn't seem that bad, until I try to do something like well, let's say, get off the toilet!

I can't do crunches or push ups. Those days are over. I give you kudos for doing this.

I walk that is the extent of my exercise. I try to lift weights, three pound dumbbells to strengthen my arms. 'Try' is the operative word here.

I went for a six mile hike yesterday. By myself. I don't hike. Today, I'm like, "Why does my butt hurt so badly? OH YEAH. Probably because I hiked six freakin miles yesterday!" I feel your pain, a pain best remedied with ice cream.

Kudos to you! Gotta love that work out pain. LOL

I wish I had the motivation to get going because looking at my booty, I'd say it's starting to resemble Texass. And you know how everything is bigger there! Sorry, I couldn't help myself!

Good luck with the bootcamp! I'm thinking I need to do something like that because I am just so OUT OF SHAPE! My booty's as this country--I don't think a state actually defines it's size!

I really need to join you in boot camp too. Get off the toilet? HOw bout the floor after playing with your little one? That must really be a challenge after a good workout.

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin
