Tour of Duty Journal, Week 2, Day 2

K, things are getting better. My routine is still out of whack but I'm trugging along. I've been thinking a lot of my food habits and think I'll be needing lots of veggies and more veggie stuff! And protein. With all these crazy exercises at bootcamp I really don't see how I'll ever improve if I don't have the right fuel to give me the energy to do all the on going, never ending squat thrusts, rock climbers, and the other exercises we do. I have to admit some of the exercises I have no idea what they are called but I do know they work because I can feel it all over! Speaking of feeling, I'm starting to somewhat be able to move again - my legs are sore and I am definately feeling some muscles I never knew existed. And speaking of muscles, today I felt it all on my stomach as Russo had me do these weird twisty stomach things. He said Tuesdays were Ab days at Bootcamp and after today, I believe him. I was really humiliated and just wanted to cringe because I was completly out of breath. But regardless I think something  is bound to happen if I keep going. Something good as there is nooooo way all this jumping, running, and doing all the other crazy exercises that we do can have zero to no impact on changing my current weight. Something is bound to fall off. Even if it's 5 pds - 5 pounds is 5 pds and that's improvement. Slowly but surely we're gonna make it! Oh speaking of making it, I saw this article in Oxygen Magazine and I tore it out because it was really inspiring to see a story of how other women have reached their goal.  I thought it was pretty exciting.

So I was thinking of different ways I could help motivate myself and I really need new shoes. But I really want cool ones and I think I found them. I saw them on Nike's website and plan on going there to see if they will work. They look cute;white with silver lurex so if that's  the case you know that they will stay sparkly for a long time. (To clarify any confusion here - lurex is a thread that is weaved into the fabric, and because of this does not "fall off" - in other words it is not sprayed on glitter. Just wanted to clarify-my fashionista getting the best of me here!) The style is called the Nike Shox Navina Sparkle Shoe and it comes in white, black, and gray. I'm looking at the white one as I think being they are white they will attract more sparkle by the light. We'll see, hopefully they are comfortable and will work for bootcamp. :) Nike. Nike Shox Navina Shoes Sparkle! Below is a pic I found of the shoe and I must add they are really comfy and the lurex in the fabric holds up really well too!
