Bootcamp yesterday morning was a fabulous workout.
We started with a basic assessment of how many pushups, squat jumps, burpees, jumping jacks, mountain climbers we could do of each in a minute. Then we did circuits with the TRX, jump rope & running. There was a good size group (about 11 of us), and the next group had 20! I'm glad fewer people like waking up early for a 5am workout.
It was also weigh in day yesterday. I had done really well this past week at eating healthy, working out, but was feeling bloated & puffy. I think from Monday's dinner of Sloppy Joe's. I was praying I wouldn't have a gain, because I worked really hard this week! I knew it would probably come off when I'm better hydrated and have the sodium flushed out, but sometimes a gain really screws with my head. Luckily it was a bust, no gain, no loss. I turned it into motivation to stay on track and drink 3 gallons of water.

Had an easy day at work (what?), then came home to make a yummy dinner of grilled shrimp, asparagus, and quinoa. My energy level was so great (and I was so motivated to have a loss next week), so I decided to work on some hills after dinner. So at 8pm, I drove over to Forest Park and did what I think a hill repeat is. I've heard people talk about hill repeats, and I figured it just must mean repeating a hill over & over. So I would run up the hill, then walk back down. I did it for 20 min before heading home. Is that how it works?
I have a pitcher with lemon water in the fridge, a new workout schedule made to accommodate bootcamps, and was super pumped to see a 2 pound loss on the scale this morning. I guess I successfully flushed all the bad stuff out!
Now I need to keep things consistent!
How do you keep your motivation consistent?

Your boot camp sounds great!! I want to do a Boot Camp so bad, but my schedule is so busy already that I just can't commit to it. But because of your post, I'm doing some burpees today!
oh burpees...
a few of the people in my office were trying to do a burpee challenge where on day 1 you do one, day 2 you do 2 and so on until you hit day 100 (no thank you)
Great job with the burpees and with no weight gain!
And hey!! You are the lucky winner on week one of my big giveaway! You get to pick any two prizes/prize packs. Check out your options and send me an email. :) Congrats!
Bootcamp ... maybe I should try something like that too. I need to find a good exercise program for core strength training and that does sound challenging.
Good luck with your fitness goals. Oh, and you drank 3 gallons of water?! My goodnes, you are a camel! :)
Reading a post like this gets me motivated! I love bootcamps and I need to get back into it. I have been so off-track since my marathon in May. I want to reach my weight-loss goals this year!!
Thanks for getting me motivated. I am going home to make a pitcher of lemon-water (and maybe some fresh mint) this evening...
