Boot Camp

When I first began my weight loss journey, I was working with a personal trainer named Christina. She was awesome. She kicked my butt every time I saw her, but she was a lot of fun to talk to and we seamed to have a lot in common. Even after I quit personal training due to financial issues, she kept texting me asking me things like what I had eaten for dinner and did I want to go work out with her. What a gem.

Every Monday evening at 7pm, she teaches a fitness class called Boot Camp, which is just like it sounds - boot camp. Its an hour of intense cardio mixed with weight training. She texted me this morning asking if I would come and I decided that I had had enough sitting around on butt so I went. Wow! I knew it was going to be hard, but I was literally drenched in sweat. My face looked like a watermelon, and I was certain that time had stopped about half way through the class. But I did it. Not only did I do it, but I felt great afterwards. 

How do I keep forgetting how wonderful exercise makes me feel? I need to find new exercises and not get stuck in the same boring routine. 

So, thank you Christina, and I'll be there next Monday even if it kills me.
