Boot Camp

I have been telling James forever
that I have wanted to do a boot camp.
I love how he listens to me
even when I ramble.
He found a free 3 day trial
boot camp for me to try out.
It was amazing.
It started this morning at
5:30am and I couldn't be happier!

It kicks your butt.
And I love it.

About P90X.
It's an awesome workout.
I've had friends who have great results.
I am just not a fan.
I like my workouts to be fun.
But if you want a good kickbutt
workout, P90X is for you!

1.5 down

Yesterday was my first run since

the SLC 1/2 Marathon.

Even though I have been doing other

workouts such as Turbo Jam and P90X

my body was still not use to the running.

I was shooting for 3 miles

and was able to complete 1.5.

It felt good to run again.

My IT Band started to hurt a bit

but with more intense stretching

I believe it can be healed enough

to start training for the Provo Trial 1/2 Marathon.

P90X - Day 1

I started yesterday.

What a doozie!

It was chest and back and do you know what that means?

Push-ups and pull-ups.

I can't even do one pull-up.

But surprisingly I survived.

Felt good about myself.

Then Ab Ripper X started.

It's only 17 minutes.

But I wanted to cry.

It is awesomly intense!

I am excited to see results

and stick with this program!

Exciting news...

my friends and are going to run the

Provo Trail Half Marathon

on August 8!

It is going to be great!!

You want to do it with us...

GREAT!!

Let's conguer the half together

Workout on Fridays

I love to workout right before date night on Fridays.

Pop in the Turbo Jam and sweat it out.

Loving the workouts!

I did it.

I just started P90X last night.

It was a doozy!

But that just makes me more

excited to stick with it to see results!

One of my favorite things working

out with workout DVDs

are the happy/cheesy instructors!

They make me so happy.

Starting

is always the hardest part!

Every night I get excited setting my

alarm clock for 5:00am so I

can wake up and work my butt off.

... Skip to 5:00am ...

All I want to do is sleep!!

What is a girl to do.

Things come up at night,

I am fully ready at night and want

to stay looking nice for James.

I know he loves me regardless,

but I like being pretty and smelling nice

instead of a hot sweaty mess.

And the worst part about not getting up early...

the morning regret feelers.

While trying to deal with those regret feelers

I resolve that it should be so simple

to wake up and work out,

I will feel SO good the rest of the day.

I am committing to do this.

For at least 2 weeks.

This blog helps bind me down to my word.

Starting tomorrow morning

I will get out of bed.

And I will work my buns off!

I just got sleepy thinking about it.

P90X

Have you heard of it?
I have some family and friends who
have and are currently doing this
workout program.
It is intense.
And people are seeing awesome results!!
My good friend lost 5lbs in the first 2 weeks.
Sign me up!

I begin on Monday.
I am excited and nervous.
Excited to get my butt kicked
and my body toned,
Nervous for the length of the program
and getting burnt out.
I am committed to work through
the whole 90 day process.
Even taking before and after photos.

I hope to keep doing some small runs
and other cross training excercises
to keep my running pace up,
with hopes of doing some 5K and 10K races.
Especially to stay at in good shape
for the Golden Leaf Half Marathon.
