Ok it’s time to get serious. Lets get that hot bod that I’ve been dreaming of. But lets be realistic – I’m not going to give up sweets! Not a hope of that happening!
So here’s my challange: to be super fit, super toned and unbelievable happy by the end of the summer. (Happy meaning I’m still getting my chocolate fix) And ofcourse keep it up for ever more.
Bootcamp kicked off 2 weeks ago. The first week was pretty disgusting. Amazing how quickly you can get out of shape. Lets just say I didnt enjoy it. My mind wanted to push on and my body just couldn’t keep up. Felt like a bit of a fail but I kept at it.
Week 2 and I’m feeling pumped.
Bootcamp checklist:
- Secret motivators *
- Partner in crime (she keeps me going, puts the pressure on)
- Homemade programme – Motivator #1 and I made it 🙂
- Gym mat
- A lot of loud music.
We decided on a schedule that suits us. I work long hours at the weekend and can’t move by Monday so guess what – Monday’s my day off. We do 4/5 days on and two off. We usually have set days but if we’re exhausted we move them around. The joy of making it yourself.
Making a programme is easy, grab a calander and plot away. Our programme is a mixture of Insanity -” Boom” (love this one), P90x (not so sure about yet) and circuit training from either excercises we already know like skipping with my pink skipping rope – yes I finally got one, or picking a few excercises from each section from this site http://www.healthyworkforce.ie/exercise-video-demontrations/ and repeat. I’ll throw in some yoga and running into the mix.
Piece of cake – who said cake. Yes I will be eating cake!
8 weeks to kick start a healthy life of great eating and sweating your balls off.
How will I get my hot bod and eat my cake too I hear you ask?
Well . . . . maybe I just don’t have the whole cake every morning for breakfast. I’ll be trying to eat just enough to curb the cravings but not doing a Matilda on it. Sometimes some berries can do the trick and other healthy alternatives. But my motto is
“Eat what you want and not what you don’t want”. I don’t know how many times I have pollished off a pack of biscuits and still not felt satisfied. And all I wanted was a small yummy bar of Cadbury’s. I spend too much time feeling guilty about eating sweet treats – I’m putting an end to the maddness and enjoying every bite!
I’m hearing that abs are made in the kitchen. I’m putting it to the test.
I’ll keep you updated on killer wins and the most epic fails. I’m two weeks into getting that bouncing bottom back and I’m seeing results already.
So who wants to join me? Did I mention it’s free?
To be totally honest it’s not a bootcamp at all. It’s just working out to a schedule but this is what all the cool kids are calling it I’m told. So lets jump on that band wagon!
