Boot Camp

My roommate Morgan and I are on a huge adventure. It's formally named, "Morgan and Chelsea's Weight Loss Adventures!" (I wanted to name it, "plan", but Morgan said we had to get excited about it, and the first step was with the name.) Anyway, every Sunday (we started yesterday) we plan what we're going to do, like what classes we're going to at Gold's. Today we had planned to go to Kickboxing, which I have done lots and really enjoy. Well, what we saw was more than we ever expected. We walked into a completely packed room, full of very very fit men and woman wearing punching gloves ( I guess that's what you would call them), with a huge punching bag next to each of them. Needless to say we were totally out of our element, completely intimidated and lacking the seemingly necessary punching gloves. We slowly backed out of the room, and did an hour of cardio on our own. We decided we will go to the class another time, but when we could get there early and chat with the instructor (I think we're going Saturday.)

After the hour of cardio, Morgan dragged me over to work on strength training. We almost died. Right in the middle of the workout, Morgan turns to me and says, 'Doesn't this make you feel so empowering?".... I replied, "Maybe after a few days, right now I feel like I am dying." But we did it, one day down and so many more to go. We're working out 1.5-2 hours a day Monday-Saturday. Boot camp is ON!!

P.S. I am already sore.
