Day 3 of Boot Camp

"Bangin' Body Boot Camp is for me!
To get results-
Change the way I think and eat!
No time for negativity!
I've gotta be the best body I can be!" Andrea (1 of my awesome trainers) began the morning with this chant. What a perfect way to start. I won't tell you where she was when the idea hit her, but I will say that it is where many of us probably find inspiration. LOL. Go Andrea!

Can you say UNDER 33 MINUTES? I can't hear you! UNDER 33 MINUTES! My runners ran their three miles in under 33 minutes today. Yes. All of them finished in under 33 minutes. I am so proud of them. The goal is to complete it in under 30 minutes and I know they can do it. Ashley will time them again Friday, and again when they return on the 22nd of June. Keep pushing them Ashley. Go Ladies!!!

Although a couple of my run/walkers were on a leisure stroll this morning...checking out the scenery...they didn't walk for long. Instead, they kicked it up a notch and even did the stanky leg. Imagine that! Seriously! Their trainers, Andrea and Matrecha, gave the ladies a superb workout and had them doing everything from knee ups to high kicks to push ups. As the sweat dripped from their faces, the smiles brightened up the gloomy sky that was left from our storm on Monday. Nice Job!

My walkers embarked upon a different workout this morning and were more than willing to embrace it. We walked, jogged, shuffled, lunged, ran bleachers, and even did step-ups on the bleachers. Did they give up? NO! Did they complain? NO! All I heard was them encouraging one another and pushing each other to keep going. We had a migraine, a knee that ached like crazy because of the weather, and bodies that were still feeling the pain from the previous day's workout, but that didn't stop them. I hope Katrina got the day off...LOL. Keep up the good work ladies!

In the midst of my mad rush from the park, to the shower, to my classroom, and into the gymnasium for 8th grade graduation, I made time to thank God for His favor. It is only with Him that I am, and that I have, and that I can, and that I am willing. It is because of Him and I am truly grateful.

See you in the a.m. :-)

  6. Ladies, it looks like my best friend Chanda, and my best friend Tonia have both started following our blog. I am sure you will eventually meet both. Tonia was here a few weeks ago. She met Josh and Elena at the Greek Festival. We boxed and worked out together while she was here.

    Chan will be here in a couple of weeks and I am dragging her to boot camp. As she is Wellness Director of a YMCA in NC, she loves this stuff so she will fit right in. I can't wait for them to meet you ladies! Hoorah!
