Top of the World - -

That's right - I am on Top of the World...

These past few weeks have been amazing! I totally rocked MBL last month and now have my family shaking in their boots...

Bootcamp is sadly over for me so maintaining what I have gained is going to be completely on me! I am a little nervous, but I learned some awesome moves that I can do in the comfort of my freezing basement room.

In other aspects of my life, I started watching a series that a friend let me borrow. I found myself within the first few minutes covering my head with my blanket!! By the end, I was on the other side of my bed half on and half off! I am nervous to watch the other episodes because the first one really had my skin crawling!!

I have a terrible habit of getting sucked into movies and then I forget that I shouldn't stand up or yell when something is going on because it is pointless. The other night I was watching a scary movie and at one point realized I stood up because I was nervous, so instead of looking like a complete idiot in front of a friend (which I probably did anyway, ha!) I went to the bathroom to "look for something."

In order to work on not getting so worked up in the movie that means that I have to watch more, right?

Bummer!

So, I have been working out hard the last fews days with bootcamp and also with changing my eating habits. I drink more water, eat healthier, exercise, and actually eat at least three meals a day (I normally would eat one meal a day and then have crappy snacks the rest of the time)!

I told myself that I was only going to step on the scale once a month. But I couldn't resist the urge to check on my progress so onto the scale I went - only to be completely disappointed!!

Not only have I not lost any weight at all, but I have actually gained THREE pounds!! So far from my goal of being at the top of the MBL list this month...

Ugh! FRUSTRATING!!! :(

Water, Aspirin, Sleep

Those are the only things I want today... I am SO SORE!!!!!

I can do it... I can do it... I can do it...

Drop and give me TEN!

YES, SIR!!!

At least that is suppose to be my response, although what I am actually thinking is something completely different. My friend Molly and I started to go to Sargeant's Bootcamp.

I was all anxious on the first day, to say that I am out-a-shape is the understatement of the year, and I didn't know what to expect. I read all about the program online and Molly had been in the program once before and filled me in on what she could.

We met up with Sargeant Chuck and about 15 other brave individuals. We ran, stretched and silly me, I thought "I can do this!" We then started doing push-ups, crazy arm movements, more running, more push-ups, jump rope, jumping jacks, more push-ups, more running, curb push-ups... Ugh - just thinking about those makes me extremely exhausted and my arms shake with fear!! Think that I am kidding about brave?? Nope! I totally puked about 30 minutes into the hour! Thankfully we are by a nice little tree patch - so it wasn't like it hit the pavement...

I just can't stand to look at pictures of myself! I also hate that the old people at work are walking faster than I am! (Okay, not really, but it feels like it!)

But I am truly inspired by my brother Logan! I want to run in a Ragnar and also Rebel Race!! I made awesome (at least I thought they were) signs for my friend while she ran in a mud race - I remember thinking then that the next time I went to one it was because I was participating! And those of you who don't know what Ragnar is all about - do some research!! Talk about AWESOME!!!! I was a volunteer for that race and LOVED the enthusiam the teams had for their members and other teams! LOVED IT!!!

So, those are my goals - oh - and of course WIN Merkley's Biggest Loser!

So Sargeant Chuck... Come Rain, Shine, Puke, Weak Arms, Outta Breath, Brink of collapsing.... To you I say - BRING IT!!!!
