Boot Camp Week #5

After the Easter weekend full of high calorie but oh-so-yummy foods, I needed some good workouts this week! Fortunately, I was not disappointed.

On Monday we had three different stations that we did cardio stuff at. Walking to walking lunges, mountain climbers, calf raises, and more. It was a full morning and my muscles were shaking after I was done.

Wednesday we had 7 different stations with 3 different exercises at each station. We rotated every minute doing an exercise. It was fun although I somehow hurt my leg while doing burpeys.

I stopped counting calories on Wednesday, I just can't keep up with a food journal and then finding the time to email it out every night.  I am still going to attempt to keep one but it's not going to be perfect.  Basically I have learned a few things about my eating habits and I know what I need to do that I don't think keeping a food journal is that important.

I didn't go on Friday because I was up most of the night with a sick baby.  Thankfully, he is feeling better. 

I have not lost anything according to the scale, but I can now wear a pair of pants that I haven't been able to wear since I was pregnant with Simon.  So I like that measurement of progress pretty well.  It would be nice to see the number on the scale go down too.

  2. In basic training (Army) we saw many trainees change size/appearance dramatically but hardly change weight at all (I think they call it a change in "body composition"). Conversely, only a few had a meaningful weight change without a change in size.
