A Letter to my Boot Camp Instructor

Julie,

 

=o( My back is starting to freak out again... I think I'm going to have to give up boot camp for a while. I know I've only been a couple of times since I was approved to come back, but I think the crunches (in place of plank) this week did me in.

 

I started going to my doctors wellness & weight loss clinic this past week and am very hopeful with the accountability of weighing in each week that I'll be able to start losing more weight and I'm going to start maybe using the bikes at the gym if I can with the hope that losing weight will help my back and I'll be able to come back to boot camp!

 

I really do love it, and I'm going to miss it... but I really don't want to have back surgery... ever...

 

Thanks so much for everything... I hope to be a camper again in the future!

 

Joy

 

Feeling Good

It's been three day's since my frist boot camp after 3 weeks of nothing.

I feel good!

Not great, mind you; there are some twingy moments and achy moments, but all in all I feel like I'm ready and happy to be able to get back into the swing of things. To do something active that makes me aware of the fuel I'm putting into my body.

Three weeks was rough. I got sad and frustrated and depressed and I fought myself to get out of it. God spent a lot of time leading me in other directions of life during that time, and that didn't make it easier... working out brings me clarity... some odd sense of being able to deal with life more. So during three hard weeks filled with lots of emotions.......

It was rough.

But I'm back!!! Now the only trick is to remember how to wake up to make it to boot camp at 5:40am. *ugh*

Camp'd

I went back to boot camp his morning!!!!!

I'm sure I'll feel it tomorrow...

... but for today I choose to be HAPPY =oD
