Week 7, Day 1
Ugh, today was rough, like really rough. Yes, I'm used to my early morning routine but I just never know what to expect as every day is different at bootcamp. Just when I think I'm getting jiggy with the routine they switch it up and my other muscles become awaken and sore. Today was filled with endless running and weights. We ran and sprinted then we had to carry the cross bar as if it was a riffle. After that, more running/sprinting and then we carried the tire over our heads. More weights using the tire and of course those never ending squat thrusts and mountain climbers which I'm really not that great at yet. I always start out great but by the middle of it all my arms still get all noodle like. I just keep thinking of fitting into my favorite dress otherwise I couldn't finish it all. Besides I'm actually at week 7! Almost there! All jokes aside when I first started I really didn't think I'd make it past day 3!
Besides that, last night Ms. Brenner called and we talked a bit about what it was that I ultimately wanted to accomplish. She mentioned I should really think about it so when I re-sign up for the 6 month maintenance program I have a clear set goal of where I'm going and know what my purpose is. I know I really want to get back to my old size of 0/2 as that will help me in feeling more comfortable with myself. I think what she also meant was that I also have to think about the nitty gritty of what I need to do to get there. In other words if that's really what I want, I have to be honest with myself and see things for what they are and be able to make change for the long term not necessarily just for the 6 months. That and there's something else that I would really like to do but I kinda, sorta didn't tell her because well let's just say that right now it's just between me and my little heart and I really wasn't sure how to even bring it up. The other thing that I really would like to do is to get back on stage and be a contestant for a pageant. I've been thinking maybe for Ms. United States or Ms. Galaxy. I hear they are both good pageant systems and I think it would be really exciting. In the meantime though I have to really lay out all my cards on the table and write down everything that I need to do to get me there. I need to know/have a clear understanding of what my game plan is and have some kind of blue print for all this otherwise I can see how it could become a bit overwhelming. I suppose as usual I have lots to think about...
"Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men." - Johann Wolfgang Goethe
"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." Micheal Jordan
Lovely thought for the day. I will remember that.
