It's called "Boot Camp"







There seems to be a little confusion. For the last 2 months I've been participating in a "Boot Camp" at the HS across the street from me. It's starts at 5 am.


WHAT!?!? Yes, I wake up at 4:30 am to participate.


I am not a morning person. Why I do it is the first point to the confusion. But, sure, I thought I can do it; get back into shape post baby #2, enjoy the morning stars turn into the sunrise, and hang out with some of my girly friends.


The confusion is this.....I work out till my hair is soaking wet, till I have to use the two hand hold to lower my butt to the toilet, till I feel muscle I haven't felt since HS soccer try-outs and yet I have gained 4 lbs? More confusing is that the more it hurts, the more I love it.


What is the name of this camp? My friend and fellow participant's husband calls it "Boob Camp", referring to the only thing he's seen disappear are her boobs.


Christian is also confused, greeting me upon my return in the mornings with "Mom,I missed you while you were at Poop Camp".


But the real thing that confuses me is - why do we women do these things to ourselves? There is not one male participant. Not one. I like to believe it's because we are tough, health conscious, do-gooders. Yet, I am completely convinced that we do it all for our Skinny Jeans.

You go girl! I need to get motivated, a little boot camp is what I probably need.

Cheri said...

love the "poop camp." Curious what he thinks you are doing there.

And way to go! I always choose the lazy wait-a-year method of losing the weight. I miss exercising until it hurts!

Joanna said...

I still think you are insane...but you are one hot (tired) mama! Remember all those inches you've dropped?!

Joy said...

I am glad you come so we can be friends again. It makes it fun knowing your friends are hating/loving it as much as I am.

You are the best girl and you are the sexiest mama I know! I love you and I want to come and visit soon. Boot camp sounds fun? I don't know I think what sounds fun is the two handed toilet sit because even though it hurts you feel so good that you pushed yourself so hard! I love you chica!

Trace said...

You are awesome. I don't think I could get myself up that early to work out. Plus,if skinny jeans are your motivation I don't think there is a problem with it.

that was a funny post. and i know it's frustrating to be dripping wet after a workout for months and still be the same weight. BLAH...only for us women. But, you always look good! and i'm sure you're feeling great.

Sheryl said...

Amelia said...

I love to come and read your hilarious posts. I too have been working out hard. Today was an arm day so I am typing with one finger because I can't lift my arms.
