week 3 completed

So this was the 1st week that I worked out 3 times instead of 2. I did all boot camp classes again. I don't remember if I explained what they are. They are between an hour and an hour and 15 minutes-ish. Laura is my instructor and she takes a lot of time 2 come up with the best workouts for us. We NEVER do the same thing twice in a row. It isn't like usual classes at a gym, we are actually IN the gym, using the weights and machines. I prefer this to anything I have ever done and clearly nothing else ever worked for me because I never stuck with it, it never got my attention. The gym I go to is Ironworks gym and if u r looking 4 motivation, I definitely recommend it, plus its open 24 hrs a day, so no excuses! We also had our weigh in on Friday night for the 12 week weight loss competition. I am SOOO excited about it, just a little more push 4 me! I will let u know about my weight loss next week, hopefully it's good. We have weigh-ins every week and hopefully they go well. This coming week I am going to try and go do cardio on 2 or more of my off days. By off days I mean days I don't lift weights at boot camp. That is the bulk of what we do in the class and I clearly need cardio. I know this because boot camp on weekends r a little harder, advanced boot camp I guess and we do intervals on the treadmill or elliptical and I think I remember telling you I HATE THE ELLIPTICAL so I choose the treadmill. I literally am gasping for air when we do this, and it isn't for long. It's for 3 minutes, I KNOW! 3 minutes sounds like it should be easy but to run as fast as your legs will carry you, then slow to a jog then RUN AS FAST AS YOUR LEGS WILL GO AGAIN just about kills me lol (a sneak peek, I am a couple days late with this blog so my new week has begun and I went 2 the gym ON MY OWN 2day 4 the 1st time and did the treadmill for 22 minutes. Doing intervals. I ran up to 7mph at a 2 degree incline) I have to say I am proud of myself for what I accomplished today and that feels extremely odd and stupid and conceited to say but I am, so there u have it :) Oh at our weigh in we also had the option to do pictures for the before and after and measurements. I sent an email asking 4 a copy of the picture to include in this blog but haven't heard from her yet, so if I do later on I will c if I can add it. Well I haven't seen the picture myself, so we will see hehe
I guess that's about it until next week. I will try to be more on the ball when I blog next and make it by Saturday before my new week starts with a Sunday workout.
Happy New Year!
