Bootcamp Tuesday

Well yesterday was bootcamp and the start of week 3 of 6.  I absolutely LOVED last night's workout.  I didn't feel like I was going to die afterward.  I felt strong and challenged, but not pushed too far.  I felt really really good.  This morning I'm a little stiff/sore, but nothing I can't handle and it's definitely a very good sore!  I'm starting to do better with the mind over body way of thinking.  I was proud of the effort I put in last night and it was nice to have a "partner" through all of the stations...Mindy.  We encouraged each other, especially on the step with the jumping squats.  When Tina called out the 5 second or 10 second mark one of us was saying "Ok just a couple more" or "C'mon you can do this, one more."  Even as we were holding our planks I had Mindy in my ear "You can do this, hold it!"  It was awesome to have such encouragement!

This morning I watched Episode 4 of the Biggest Loser online.  I was so moved by Courtney and could totally relate to the way she felt with her mom.  There are people in my life I feel like I've let down too and that is a mental and emotional thing I'm really going to have to work through.  This year is just as much about focusing on the inside as it is about focusing on the outside.  I need to get my mind healthy just as much as my body.

Tonight....ZUMBA!  My last Wednesday night of Zumba :(  Sounds like I may switch to Monday night Cardio Kickboxing at 6:30, depending on scheduling.  We'll see what next week brings.
