Day 1, Post 2: Feeling weak and call for support

Alright now for the boring stuff you can skip, but this blog is going to be a log for me as much as it is a boring thing for you to read while your boss is out of town.

Last night I could not sleep as I was excited and nervous to start boot camp. I woke up at 5am grabbed a banana and some water and headed to the lake. First day activities included:
-Running/jogging/walking
-"Suicides" - sprinting to cone one, than back to the start, then cone 2, than back, then cone 3, than back, etc, etc. for 5 minutes, touching the ground each time you hit a cone.
-Lots of stretching, lunges, lifting, squating, push-ups, crunches, etc - a lot of these with weights.
-More jogging/walking and more stretches and tiring weight stuff.

After a very full hour of these activities, towards the end of which I was a complete tub of jello, if jello were the gelatin version fo pain.

But I felt good. I now know whats its like, I had at least one friend there, made at least one new friend and now I know just how out of shape I am and how much getting in shape is going to hurt (physically).

I got back home to freshin up and get ready for work, I had probably too much honey nut cherios and I was off.

To my great relief I was able to avoid the old lady with the messy smelly car and the mercedes owner drove me halfway to my destination keeping from my full mile stroll to the office (i was thankful). Usually I enjoy this morning walk, but I am spent!

I was so tired this morning I did not make myself a lunch. I must admit I have been "splurging" food-wise knwing it will all change once I start WW (weight watchers). So for lunch I got a chicken and chedder bacon sandwich with fries- Oy- heart attack on a tray! But it was soooooo good. I didnt finish either the sandwich or the fries, which took much restraint, but my body said "youre done!" and this time I listened.

I am still very sore and tired, but I can't wait to do it again ...ok that's a lie, I can't wait to get better and be able to hit my knee to the ground when I lunge and go up three flights up stairs without gasping for breath.

*UPDATE* I got my first Sponsor!!! In adition to the initial funding to help me do the boot camp, Dad and Joycie are going to pay me $10 for every pound I lose! So generoud, adn a definite motivator! Thanks so much guys, your support is very touching!
