2nd Bootcamp over..

That's right I have made it through 2 bootcamps. Bootcamps are 3 weeks of workouts and 1 week off to recover. So in 6 weeks and 1 recovery week I have lost a total of 15.4 lbs and a total of 10.5" s gone.

The first week of bootcamp i lost 4 lbs but over the next 2 weeks i only managed to lose another .8 lbs. BUT you know what that is weight loss for me and i am happy with that. PLUS i lost 5.75 inches and that is worth not losing a whole lot.

Tonight we did Warrior voices about 25 or 30 times. I was pretty loud and know I can tell, my throat is sore and I almost have NO VOICE. Let me tell you this was so much fun. You know like when you drive down the road and people cut you off and you just yell so loud in your car that those people could probably hear you. Well doing this tonight allowed for alot of aggression released.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OK now i feel better, LOL. Let me tell you that Kyle loves Jumping jacks. I think i did more jumping jacks this session that i have ever in my life as a kid doing those for fun. And they definitely aren't fun now. Especially being over weight. But lets see tonight we did, 40, 60, 80 (2 times each) plus warm ups.... So we are looking at possibly over 400 jumping jacks. WOW 400 Jumping Jacks, that is totally crazy. Oh i got something else. The last bootcamp and this one Ive been using 10 lb weights to lift with and i normally use 2 so I'm lifting 20lbs. Well Wednesday night Jessica told me to go to a heavier weight. I think i posted about this in my last post. Well today i continued to use the larger weight. I am now using 2 2o lbs kettle bells But i did get a little braver today. I asked Kyle how much the Barbell was and he told me 45 lbs and said i could do it. Well my last time around I used it and I GOT IT. Nothing like progressing to heavier weights, being encouraged and then feeling great to know that I accomplished it.





I'm not sure if i mentioned this but I sold my car and got a cheaper one and paid cash with it. Well I was planning on taking that extra money and putting it toward a Hunting Bow so i could spend more time with my husband. Then I kept seeing all these people on FB commenting about MaxFit Bootcamps. So i thought really hard about this. I could purchase something that would allow for more time & me and Josh to share a hobby with each other OR i could take this money and put it to some good use and try to lose some weight, which in the end would not only make me look and feel better about my self but it was something that would benefit this whole family. THATS right. Benefit me with a healthier life, Josh with a wife who's confident has come back & Lucas for having a mommy that can chase him around everywhere and not get worn out easily. This was the best choice that i could have ever made for my self. I never use to workout. Never stepped foot in a gym (besides high school and 9th grade gym i got a "D" cause i didn't want to dress out, sad huh now that i think about it) And now I love it. I know Kyle tells us that he does not want us to enjoy/have fun at bootcamp. But to me I am loving this, its something new and has touched my heart and life so much. That sometimes Thanks to Kyle and Jessica cant begin to say what i really mean. They have changed my life.

This upcoming week is our off week, Think i may do some yoga, but i will post back and tell you how my diet has gone. Thanks

Feeling good...

Wednesday was bootcamp and again we did warmups where we had to get a partner and face each other once more. This time we did mountain climbers and that is hard to do alone yet look upwards to someone in the face. I made it threw it though. and the rest of the workout went great.

I worked out for 33 mins and burned 640 calories.

Today is Friday and this is our last bootcamp for this phase and next week is our rest week. So i go in tonight early to get weighed and measured. I dont think i did that great on my weight this time, i think i only lost about 5 lbs, but i know 5 lbs is 5 lbs gone. I do feel that i did good on inches lost. I will probably blog again tonight after everyones asleep here and tell you how this weighin and workout will go.

Thanks for following me on this journey, I know its going to be a slow one, but slow is better. talk to you all later, bye.

19 Months and 1 day

Yesterday Lucas turned 19 months, Sunday i told someone that he was turning 20 months.... Time is going crazy here im trying to make him another month older. Over this past month he got to go trick or treating (not house to house, just family) He was my little pumpkin.

He didnt like carving the pumpkin. Actually i really dont knwo what he thought of it, he did give some weird looks though. His pumpkin had Lightening McQueen on it.

He got to go to Bass Pro Shop and ride a toy 4 wheeler (which daddy liked) and so did he.

He is growing up so fast. I will be back with more. Im on a blogging kick. I have another blog about my weight loss journey ( I didnt want to take away from Lucas) So i will keep up with both now.

OH come be a Follower of both my blogs Please. Bye.

Crazy.....

This is how i describe Bootcamp last night. Kyle had us partner up and do jumping jacks and face each other & look at each others face, which was hard and funny. Then he made us stop and said if we all noticed when one person stops so does someone else, we dont not need to follow those people (which i am one, im still packin on some weight here, its hard to do jumping jacks for a long length of time) Next he wanted one of us to go fast & yell and tell the other one to keep up. WELL i am not the leader, i cant go fast and i do stop, I know its bad but it happens.

Then we proceeded to our workout. After 42 mins I burned 789 Calories and i was whooped. Tomorrow (Wed) we workout and then Friday is the big day, we weigh in and get measured. Kinda/not so looking forward to this. Kinda because i want to see how many inches i lost this time and Not so because i dont think i did to good on my weight loss. Last week i had some trouble. But we will see.

Oh one thing that stood out that im proud of is while we were doing Overhead Presses, Jessica came over to me and was watching me and told me next time i needed to up my weight. I was using 10 lb dumbbells (object is to get to 20) i was reaching about 18/19. So my next time around I was heading to a Kettlebell but another girl grabbed the only 15 lb kettlebells........... SO that left me with 20 lbs. OH MY, So i start lifting, my arms were shaking and it was hard to get them up there. Kyle came over to incourage and help me. Counting with me as i go and telling me to keep trying i can do it. I am proud to say that I got 13 reps. THANKS Kyle.

I cannot do a real push up for anything. I have NO arm strength. So Kyle told me to practice for 5 mins at home. Josh has been helping me. Every time i would come up he would yell WRONG, i say Im trying Im trying, lol Needless to say its slowly coming along. Josh says i tend to hike up butt up in the air & he wants to stand over me with his foot on my butt keeping it down. Every time he says that i lose concentration and start laughing and then i cant push my self up. I will get this down.

Well im out be back after tomorrows workout and tell you how that has went.
