I can.

5 stations today:
  • 3 rounds of high intensity, 3 of secondary movement. Each station.
  • 75 attempts to get it right, keep moving and push to the last rep. 


Don't stop.
Don't lose your lunch.

3 more sessions and I'm on my own again.


I can and I will. 


only slightly overheated on this humid day!

fitbit & fit body boot camp

While it may seem like I've fallen off the face of the earth once again, it's only in blogLand that I cannot keep up with life.

Since completing a work competition, I've been wearing my "awarded" FitBit religiously!  Received it sometime toward the end of May and it has helped spirit my mood into walking a few more {thousand} steps a day - as well as tracking my {interrupted} sleep every night.

I've also purchased a 15-day pass to Fit Body Boot Camp. Two friends also joined me in this quest and we've been having a grand time challenging one another (and our aching, creaking bodies) to yet one more day!

Thirty minutes of some intensive training and my body is ready to head home after a long day and put my feet up!

It has been fun.  Yes, exercise can be fun.  I've now seen enough familiar faces to know that this type of exercise works. They've shown proof with their before/after photos.

Will I continue with this 15-day pass is finished?  Probably not in this formal setting due to the cost of the program.  I will, however, have gleaned enough knowledge to continue working these types of exercises into my daily routine.  Mixed with yoga and cardio, I think I'm on my way to finally reaching my weight loss goal.  If I'm being totally honest with myself, it probably won't happen by my birthday, as I had hoped, but at least halfway there is attainable!

Biggest downfall?  Still trying to cut the SUGAR cravings and intake.

 It's not a torture chamber.  Honest.  It feels good.  It does a body good.  The mind too!

This week will be sessions 8 and 9 out of the total package.  I will finish up the 15 before the kids go back to school in August, and will establish a new routine then.

Always busy, but never too busy to exercise!
