If it felt good, it wouldn't be exercise. Or something.

OUCH.

Boot camp started today. OUCH.

I can't believe I am doing this. I really couldn't believe it when my alarm went off at 4:45 this morning. Matt assured me last night that my adrenaline would kick in and I'd be wide awake. Ha. I stumbled through the house and out to the car (thankfully I did remember to get dressed first) and off to Boot Camp I went. I was still rubbing my eyes when I threw down my mat on the ground surrounded by other bleary eyed women with mats and one very awake, very cheery guy (our instructor). We got started right at 5:30. I wince just writing that.

Boot camp lasted an hour, and we went the WHOLE hour. We were lucky if we got 10 seconds between activities. I was dying the entire time, but I just kept telling myself it was for my own good. I made it through, and other than the fact that I can't move any of my muscles (seriously, it even hurts to type) I'm glad I did it. The problem is that I have to do it again--and again and again and again. It's only 20 hours until I have to be back there ready for the next round of punishment. I had better be one tough broad after this is all over.

When bootcamp is over, you should go to aerobics with me! I go to the youth center, and it is a great class with a great group of women! It is only $20/month and you can go up to 5x a week. It is great!!
