I can't move my arms!

Today we worked on our upper body's. We always seem to start with a run. Today we went even further. Urgggg! Then the circuit from ..... Basically after all was said and done I can't move my arms. My arms seemed to be in a permanent bend. It's kind of funny!

I feel good though! Refreshing if you will!

We are also suppose to weigh in every week. Today I weighed in for the first time and lost 2 lbs! Just what I suppose to do!

Maybe one of these days I'll be all over it!

Until the next time - see ya - bye!

Boy am I out of shape.


O.K I made through the first week! YEA! Boy am I out of shape!

So, Friday we did Yoga! I've never done Yoga but always have wanted too! I was excited. About an hour after we finished my left arm started hurting big time. By the end of the night I couldn't move my arm, bend it nothing. It was so sore - I have never felt anything like it. All the years of being involved in sports & such I have never experienced this sensation. My muscle near my triceps seemed swollen. So, the only way I could make it feel better was to go have some sushi & Saki! Saki makes everything feel better! RIGHT!! Crazy. Saturday - even worse. Now it's Monday & in we go again. I made it through with a smile on my face. I have to say the only thing I truly can't stand out all of this is the running. I hate it - always have. I guess it stems from when I was young girl & I started developing before anyone else. If you know what I mean. I was in all kinds of sports - got so much shit about my boobs going everywhere. Support bras weren't the best. I can laugh at it now cause there mine & I'm proud. But it's one of those things that stick with you.

Until the next time! See ya - Bye!! : )

The beginning of Boot Camp


O.K I went in so very excited to get back in shape. I'm thinking it's been at least 3 - 4 years since I've worked out in this manner. Don't get me wrong I was active but not like this. However, I haven't done anything to keep in shape except for chasing after my 2 year old for the past 2 years! Who is so cute by the way. So, there is a great group where I work doing this boot camp at Marathon Fitness Center which is right below our office. We all went in with big grins ready to go. Boy did we get our butts kicked! But in a good way. Of course I should just speak for myself!

Started with a long run around the block. Hate to run - always have - but I made it! I'll have to find out how long the run is - I'm thinking it's a half mile or something close to that. Anyway, then it begins. OH MY! We worked on our legs. Lunges, squats, circuit training & so on. I knew they were gonna give it to us but holy moly! Never heard so many moans & groans in my life. But we all still kept smiling & laughing. By the time we got to the floor to work on our stomachs. I thought I was going to loss it. My stomach muscles were completely wiped out when I had Mary. I had an emergency C- Section. So all those muscles are gone. I barely made it through but I did make it!

After all was said and done - I was a bit embarrassed at my performance. I mean I did do everything but I've been such athlete my whole life so I guess I found out my mind & body are in 2 different places.

Then the next day! OH MY - can't even move. Sore like I never had been. Barely could walk up the stairs, walk across the street. Not to mention"little Mary go girl" has no idea that Momma can't bind over or anything. Rough morning for sure. In fact, it's Friday now & my legs are still a bit sore. WOW!

I LOVE IT though! To think that in 10 weeks I'm going to be a complete different person!

I'm getting ready to go back in for the 3rd day - legs again. I probably wont be able to move tomorrow again.

Until the next time!
