Ok so I guess I am computer illiterate!! This took me so long to figure out! Lol
Any way, the work outs are the best, the company, and the outdoors and wonderful Lisa pushing us to do our best! I am thoroughly enjoying them and yes I am also in a lot of pain, but no pain no gain! I feel better already, and can't wait for next Tuesday :)
This bootcamp is AMAZING! Thanks SO much Lisa for all your hard hard work to become a trainer here in Rosenort. Thanks Tami for training her!! I love working out in the outdoors - the fresh air and the sounds of the kids laughing - its all great. My butt hurts like CRAZY, but I love the pain. I am already looking forward to your next bootcamp Lisa!

Day One

Admittedly, day one didn't go so smoothly for me. My 3-1/2 year old did great, and had a blast playing with Lisa's kids. My 9 month-old however wasn't in the mood. I struggle with what to do... the 9:15 class falls right at her naptime, which is an important one. The 5:00 class runs right into suppertime for my kids, and my baby girl's "witching hour". She wasn't very happy to just sit and watch the action during the class - and I was so disappointed. To be honest, I went home and cried. This was something I want to do for ME, and of course, it felt like that wasn't going to happen. I haven't given up, but I certainly do feel a lot less motivated now, knowing that I may end up carrying my baby around when I want to be doing the workout. On the bright side, though I only got through warm-up and a few exercises, I feel a little bit stiff this morning. Perhaps that goes to show how out of shape I am! It's good though - I'm glad to feel like I did at least do SOMETHING other than watch everyone else.

My long-winded thoughts on the morning...

Well, I'll be a sucker and give my thoughts on the morning! To echo Lisa, it really was fantastic! There is nothing more inspiring than working out with a bunch of others - particularly when they are all moms and are somewhat in the same "boat." I've had trouble keeping very regular workout routines over the last 10 years (and 4 kids later) but have tried to be at very least, active. I am not a good self -motivater, but rather competive, so programs are good for me. The workout was tough - but the good kind and it feels so good to work some of those muscles that don't daily get a workout. I've had a little headstart, trying out some sample workouts with Lisa, and without those, I probably couldn't have kept up as well as did. So, I can already vouch for the program giving results as my stamina (right word?) has definitely increased.
Lisa is a great motivator and the whole program definitely targets the areas that I know I need to tackle so I am super excited to keep going. While I haven't tried the website nutrition tracker yet, I have been using a calorie tracking program the last week ,and now, being aware of my BMR, I am building awareness on making changes in my diet. I know that my weight stays very steady and I probably won't show dramatic results, but if nothing else, eating well and exercising regularly does make me feel better about myself, and to me (and my family), that is important! Thanks Tami and Lisa for bringing this to our community!
Oh! And don't forget about the nutritional guide on the website. Lets make this 6 weeks a good start for the rest of our lives.

I had a fantastic first session of Bootcamp!
What a great group of women! We all worked so hard , and the kids were a dream.
I would love to hear what everyone else thought about it. Please feel free to write on the blog and share your thoughts.
Don't forget your weights on Thursday morning!
Hopefully the mud will have dried up a bit more. But really whats bootcamp without a bit of mud?!
Talk to you all soon again, Lisa
