Boot Camp Musings
Gold star for me—my attendance at boot camp this week was 100%! Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings I was up there on the top level of that parking garage soaking the concrete with my sweat. The view of downtown is pretty fantastic from up there; not that I choose my fitness endeavors based on aesthetics [...]
Weekend Plans: Farmer’s Market and Still No Soda
12. February 2010
I’m feeling quite a bit better today, although I’m still not sure what shape my Challenge is going to take on. I’m sticking to my plan to stay off the diet soda, because that’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I hate being dependent on that stuff! Today is Day 5 [...]
Rough Days
11. February 2010
Yesterday was a bad day. It just was. And for the first time in almost 5 months, I went “off-plan” with my eating and ordered and ate 2/3 of a big Mexican dinner. I wanted to eat the whole thing; guess I’m not as chompy as I used to be. Today I’ve been eating normally [...]
Short and Sour
10. February 2010
Wow, am I in a grouchy mood today. No soda, my iPhone died this morning, uncertain weather and boot camp tonight. In the grand scheme of things, stuff like this doesn’t even register as a blip on the radar. But today I am feeling foul-tempered. I am sticking to my plan; I’m just grumpy about [...]
New Challenges Reignite Some Old Feelings
9. February 2010
Yesterday was my first day off the Diet Dr Smack, and I missed it sorely—both physically and psychologically. Evidently I’d gotten used to thinking of my two 20-ounce bottles of diet soda per day as my work-day “treats” (the way candy used to be). So I had a bit of a pity party in my [...]
DEXA Scan Body Comp Analysis Results (Tiny Glow Fat Loss Challenge Starting Numbers)
7. February 2010
My body composition analysis on Friday was performed using incredibly accurate technology known as DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry). I had this done back in August 2009 as well, so I got to see the effect my behaviors of the last five months had on my body composition. Going beyond the basic number on the scale to [...]
Challenge Prep Work
5. February 2010
Over the past few days, I’ve directed many of my non-working hours toward preparing for my upcoming challenge, which begins on Monday! Part of this includes keeping up with my current calorie-counting and fitness routine, as well as making forays into areas I’ll be exploring more as part of my challenge. I ordered my copy [...]
Is Boot Camp Like Childbirth?
4. February 2010
As I was driving to boot camp last night, I experienced an unspecified feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I kept flashing back to my Challenge manifesto-of-sorts and thinking “Was I on crack at the time I posted that?” (Answer, for those interested: No.) My brain started doing the frantic cat-in-a-bag clawing [...]
A DIY Fat Loss Challenge
3. February 2010
I experienced a minor pang of jealousy recently when I realized my two co-workers and another woman in our boot camp were going to be participating in the CrossFit Relentless Adventure Challenge, which is an intensive 8-week program. From the official website, here are some of the components of their challenge: 8 weeks of workouts [...]
