Boot Camp

Yes, I'm going to Boot Camp....but it's not what you think. I won a month's worth of Wow! Boot Camp at the church auction to raise money for the mission trip to Nicaragua. I thought it was perfect because I need to get back in shape and I wanted to donate money to the trip. So I started Boot Camp last Friday. You go 3 days a week for 4 weeks and then see how much you have improved at the end.

I have to admit--the first day kicked my rear end pretty good. I'm not a runner and there was a lot of running. It's kind of like circuits where we run for a while and then get to a station to do squats or lunges or something with handheld weights for upper body or ab work. It's the running that's killing me. But hopefully this will be just the thing to kick my rear end into gear and get back in a good workout routine and get back in shape.

The down-side is that I go to Boot Camp at 5:30am. So that has completely messed up my daily schedule. I started working too in the mornings, so here is what my day looks like now:

5 am -- wake-up
5:30 -- boot camp (wondering why I'm running before dawn...oh yeah, the heat)
8 am -- get to work
12 pm -- go home and eat lunch
1 pm -- struggle to try to run errands or get reading done
4 pm -- give up and take a nap
6 pm -- wake up and fix dinner
8 pm -- watch a movie or do something with friends (or tonight i went grocery shopping)
10 pm -- go to bed
11 pm -- still can't sleep--start reading or doing work
1 am -- finally fall asleep

So I'm on this crazy cycle it's really hard to get off of it! Maybe I can correct things over the weekend when I don't have to get up early.
