"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson

45 days til DW!

So thankful I got my booty out of bed at 4:25AM! I always dread boot camp but today I was really thankful I went. It was a smaller group and the session was just what I needed to get back into it - intense but not brutal! I've already spent some time in the Word and in prayer and I'm ready for the new day ahead! Thank you Lord!
Praying for focus and determination to count all my points today. It's nice that I earned some activity points for the day! :)

46 days and counting...

Sorry I've been MIA! Thanks Ally for encouraging me to get back to blogging! I've been exhausted every night this week so I've been trying to get in bed early. I haven't made it to D-1 since last Saturday morning because of ice and sleeping in! BUT, tomorrow's a new day and my plan is to go the next 3 mornings in a row. I haven't tried 3 sessions back to back so I'm sure my body will be screaming come Saturday afternoon!
Another update to share....I started counting points again yesterday. I realized that the weight's not coming off just by doing boot camp 3 days a week. Weight Watchers is the ticket! So I'm trying to get back to tracking points. It's always a battle for me but I'm praying for focus this go round.
Disney is getting oh so close! SUPER EXCITED!

53 days to DW!

Thankfully a little neck pain earlier today didn't keep me from going to boot camp tonight. Seriously, it was the toughest workout yet! And it was a LADY COACH! My boss, who's also going to D-1, said she's the most intense and now I know! She's amazing and such an encourager, just really a stickler for multiple reps and we went a FULL hour. Usually, we end after 50 minutes. So, I'm feeling the burn all over tonight. My body's starting to feel tighter so I know it's working! Really need to keep focused on my food portions and choices. Thanks for everyone's encouragement and support!

54 days and counting....

Sorry for being MIA the past few days! I had every intention of getting to D-1 on Saturday morning but the snow kept everyone inside. I did, however, make it last night to the 6PM class and because I hadn't been since last Thursday, I was whooped! It was a grueling, intense session but I enjoyed the new coach. Sadly, I'm struggling to overcome neck pain so I don't know if I'll make to the 5AM session in the morning. If not, I WILL go to the 6PM class. Thankfully, Chris has training all month so he's home every night this month around dinner time...we're loving his new schedule and don't want it to end! Thus, it gives me the option of going in the evening IF I need to.
Disney is quickly approaching and we're ALL getting SO excited!

60 days left til DISNEY!

I'm WIPED after another 5AM boot camp session this AM! I'm so glad I went because the group was smaller and we were in teams so we had fun cheering each other on. Today was my 2nd boot camp this week so I need to figure out one more time to fit it in this week....hopefully Saturday at 6AM if we're not snowed in.
Sweet time with friends at Chilis tonight! Now off for some much needed rest...

DAY 63 and counting....

Only 63 days left til Disney!!! We're all getting more and more excited! Chris and I are signed-up for a volunteer day in the next few weeks so we can get free admission. What a sweet deal!

4:30AM came EARLY this morning...it's so stinkin hard getting up and motivated when it's cold. But, alas, I was at D-1 ready for my first workout of the week. We had 5 lb weights in each hand the entire 50 minutes and really focused on working our legs and core. My legs were BURNING up and down the field!

Excited to return Wednesday AM!

DAY 65....

Today was my 5th time at D-1 boot camp! Hallelujah! Something clicked mentally today and I'm really anxious to go back. My body's aching, especially my legs from today's workout, but I can feel my body toning. This is really the best thing I've ever committed to. I'll be back Monday AM!
