Well that whole 28 day boot camp was an epic fail…okay so maybe not epic but fail it was. I lasted 2 weeks with no booze, caffeine, meat, carbonation. I learned that I need to work out a minimum of 3 to 4 days a week. I have to do a lot of cardio to burn calories and I need to do yoga to maintain … Continue reading 28 Day Boot Camp
Day 9 – I took the day off from working out. I sat at my favorite bar drinking water and watching hockey. It was much needed and kind of refreshed me for today, Day 10. Day 10 – I did another 3 miles. Which makes 6 miles this week…HUGE for me. I’m sure I did all of 6 miles in 7 days last week. I’m … Continue reading Day 9 & 10: 3 x 2 = 6 miles
Day 8…after the 7 previous days, I didn’t think Day 8 could get any better or worse. BOY WAS I WRONG! I live with headaches. There is not a day that goes by where I don’t have one. Sinus headache, tension headache, cluster headache, if it’s a headache, I get it. I’m use to it. I’ve been living with them since I was 13. I’ve … Continue reading Day 8: Better or Worse
Day 6 and 7 of the 28 Day Boot Camp aka no alcohol, no meat, no carbonated drinks, no caffeine were the easiest of all the days this week. It helped that I stayed in on Friday and Saturday night. I couldn’t be tempted if I wasn’t out. Today I had a 3 mile walk/jog/run and it didn’t murder my shins. I thought my knee … Continue reading Day 6 & 7 of 28 Day Boot Camp
This is my 2nd time not working out this week which means nothing but works out for the rest of the week. Yoga really did kick my ass yesterday. My upper arms and shoulders are so sore I feel like I’ve been stressing out for something for 1000 years. I also couldn’t do a work out that was heartfelt. I don’t want to phone a … Continue reading Day 5 – Time for Changes
Not like the New Kids on the Block song though… I would like to say I had some profound “aha” moment but I didn’t. I had a few I wish I would have, could have, didn’t have, moments and that’s about it and that is nothing from the daily norm. Walking/running is murdering my shins. I mean murdering. It hurts to touch them and it … Continue reading Day 4…I’m Hanging Tough
Day 3…boy what a day you were. A late lunch and a sinus shut down triggered by spring, pollen, allergies and so on, gave a lunch time migraine that at 7:47pm is still raging. So I haven’t worked out today and I ate somewhat healthy. Of the 3 days, this has been the worst. I want lots of chocolate and crappy food. I almost folded … Continue reading Day 3…I Hate You
My friend, Nikki, sent me this via Instagram for motivation. Not only did it motivate me, but it also made me smile to know she was in support and may give her own life a boot camp kick. Continue reading Motivation From Friends

Decaf coffee is no where near as good as regular coffee, but I suffered through a cup because I like coffee. I should have eaten a bigger breakfast but when that 3 pm, I’m starving and I wanted an almond joy milkshake urge passed, I realized I would be all right. I ate around 1200 calories. When counting calories and trying to maintain … Continue reading Day 1 Revelations
