I did it, y'all.
I completed 5 sessions of bootcamp.
Granted, I totally cheated the system. I guess I was supposed to do 5 sessions back to back on the regular schedule (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays). But, they didn't really specify that. So I ended up going on every Wednesday instead. I didn't actually realize it until they started asking me if I was going to show up on Friday.
Oh, well.
In the 4th session of bootcamp, it was a pretty windy but sunny day. Being that I was already having a bit of a cold, the windiness just kind of aggravated my coughing. I ended up taking it a bit easy the rest of the week, considering that I had the BARCC Walk that weekend (more on that later).
No surprise, however, that I didn't see any changes on the scale.
But, this week was my final paid session.
It was a rainy Wednesday, but that doesn't stop the trainers from taking it outside. For the most part, we were underneath a shaded area.
I prepared a playlist of songs that would help to motivate me in the morning, and it really seemed to help. As I ran around the raised lawn area, I found that The Jacksons' "Blame It On the Boogie" was really motivating me to keep going at a good pace. Maybe it was the beat, but it was pretty helpful to have it playing in my head. For the first time, I didn't feel like dying immediately after starting to run.
Near the end, we were instructed to run up and down stairs, run to the other side of the raised lawn area, and then up and down another set of stairs. As I reached the top of the second set of stairs, I was slowed as I saw the sign for the Division of Unemployment.
Knowing that the unemployment office was right where we had been working out gave me a second wind. I feel like I really pushed myself harder during the circuits.
Afterward, I knew I wanted to continue doing bootcamp. I burn so many calories in an hour, and I feel so powerful after working out.
The worst part, really, is having to wake up so early. And yet, it's great to know that I'm done with my workouts and have so much more of the day to accomplish things.
Here's the thing. If I want my body to change, I have to really push myself and work out really hard. I really think that bootcamp will help me get to where I want to be. So, perhaps at the end of the month or starting in May, I will be attempting to get my butt up at 4:30 in the morning on more than just Wednesdays.
