Day One Over

Today was the first day of boot camp. It was actually a lot better than I thought that it was going to be. All day I was pretty anxious as to what was going to happen. I heard that we were going to do an assessment and I can handle that, its just that I was told that we were going to run a mile. Oh heck, I was not ready for that! We didn't end up having to run though so I was happy about that.

During the assessment, we had to do push ups, crunches, lunges, squats and box jumps. We just had to see how much we could do of each. I think that I did pretty well. It was a little tough. Well, the lunges were the hardest thing. I don't like those at all. I know that my thighs don't like them either. They are so sore right now. That is a good thing of course but it is going to take time to get used to having a sore body.

We also had to do cardio which was us running up and down the stairs at work. Three stories worth. We had to do that for 5 minutes. That doesn't sound like a long time but having to do it after the assessment made it a little difficult. While running, I felt like I was going to die and I started to doubt why I was doing boot camp. I can't do that. I need to stick to this. After class was over, I realized that it was not bad at all. I know that I can do this and I am excited to get to class tomorrow. I am going to have to tell myself everyday that all of this is worth it no matter how tough it may seem.

We took measurements today. I weigh 273lbs. If my plan goes the way that I want it to, I should be at 173lbs pretty soon. I am hoping sooner than later but it is going to take time for sure. I need to be patient. We had our chest measured as well as our arms, calves, thighs, and waist. I hope to see results soon. I know that I am going to try my hardest to do this.
