What was I thinking???

I am not quite sure where my mind was at when I signed up for boot camp. Maybe I was thinking this was a nice, quiet atmosphere where you sit and TALK about losing weight. Let me be the first to tell you that it is far from that. The first thing she had me do (after weights and measurements) was 10 minutes on an elliptical trainer. I think the dentist would have been more fun and you all know how terrified I am of dentist. Well, I made it through with the help of CSI which was on the TV right in front of me. When I stepped off the machine I thought I had traded in my legs for jello - I could hardly walk. I am sure I was a good laugh for the others in the gym.

And you ask, "was this all of the torture that you had to endure" and I have to say "well no." The drill Sgt wasn't done yet. We had to go from the torture machine to the torture chamber - the workout room. We were told that we were going to do sit ups and push ups. I got really excited thinking that we were going to sit around and eat a push up. You know, one of those cool ice cream treats that the kids loved. No, that wasn't the push up she was talking about, dang it. Well, this might have been worse then the elliptical machine. I can't do either...and quickly found that out the hard way. I did 2 push ups and 10 sit ups and understand that before the 6 weeks is up I should be a pro at this (right!!!). I am going to make sure that I am never late to class, miss a class, or forget my food journal. Any of these infraction results in 50 push ups and she said you will stay until you are done. Well, at my rate that might be until the next class or the end of the 6-week session!! Another thing I found out was that class meets 3 days a week - not 2 as I thought. So, 6 more times to torture me before the end.

Tonight, while I am watching Biggest Loser (with much more admiration then before) I will be practicing my sit ups and push ups...Sounds like fun huh???

With all of this I should be in that size 0 thong bikini by May!!
