The beginning again!

So my lovely friend Daja talked me into signing up for Boot-Camp. Now its not boot-camp in the sense of I'm serving my country now. Its boot-camp in the sense of its time to get my butt kicked into gear. Check out the website. And if you decide to enroll, drop my name.

So with that being said I signed up on the 5th and then had my official start day on the 9th of February. Seriously what was i thinking. They strapped on a 25lb vest which put me over the 300lb mark. Yes i know I have really let things get out of control, but maybe just writing a few things here will keep me going.

The first week was one of the hardest, yet rewarding things I have ever done. I have not pushed myself so hard in a long time. They want me to journal all of my food and limit my calories and work hard. i must admit the first day doing it i was thinking to myself i actually am paying to torture myself. This is crazy! Its hard, it sucks, but i know its what has to be done. I want so much to be healthier, but gosh i guess i didn't realize just how out of shape I was until they put me on treadmill and wanted me to run. Are you kidding me I said, you really want me to run? Have you seen me? Have you seen how big I am, no seriously look at me. You want me to run...lol. Needless to say it was a long week with some pain, and I have found that ibuprofen is my one true friend. Now on to week 2, without the vest hopefully i will feel the difference. Although I did weigh in on Monday and well I am down 4lbs. Wahooo one step in the right direction.
