New Bootcamp Pictures
Yesterday morning I headed out to my second open-to-the-community boot camp workout down under the bridge at Town Lake! Remember the first time I went to one of these, just a month ago? Attending that session convinced me to give the whole boot camp thing a go—and doing that has helped me to shed about [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve switched to Monday morning weigh-ins for at least the duration of my unofficial Tiny Glow Fat Loss Challenge. Today I weighed in at 164.5 lbs—a loss of 2 lbs for the past week. Hooray! Boot camp is working! In the last two weeks I’ve lost more weight than I did in all of January. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Today’s weigh-in revealed a loss of 2.5 lbs this past week! I’m so relieved that the scale isn’t stuck for good, and I think that the two boot camp sessions I participated in (Saturday and last night) helped nudge the number down. My total weight-loss so far is 36.5 lbs. Let me pause for a [...]
