Sexy Fit Boot Camp

July first, my family and I made a move from South Bend, Indiana to Memphis, Tennessee. Jared will be going to school here for the next four years for pharmacy. With this move, we've made a new commitment to each other about getting more healthy as a family. So, i joined an eight week boot camp class held at a local park. Yesterday was my first class and let me tell you. What a testament to how out of shape i am and how not used to this kind of weather i am. It was 90 degrees and fifty percent humidity. I tried so hard to finish. SO hard. But when it came to our second set of burpee's, my body was spent. I started getting light headed, i started to get shaky and sick to my stomach. Jamie, one of the trainers, sat me down and made sure i didn't need medical attention. She basically told me to take better care of myself. She asked me what i had eaten that day (which i reluctantly told her because it included a lack of breakfast and fast food) and had a small eye opening experience. She challenged me to just take time for myself. Self reflection. Something more than one person has asked me to do. Something i don't do. Hardly ever. This last year, I've been so busy working i'm now in the habit of just crashing on the couch and worrying about work more than anything else. I've worried about work more than my kids, even. Now with these next four years, i'll more than likely be a stay at home mom. I now have ample time in my day to reflect. To be active with my family. To start doing the things i knew i should have been doing all along. We have a date tonight so i'm not sure i'll be able to got again tonight, but i'm anxious to go again and see how i improve. Maybe this will get my butt going. Maybe this is what will start this new experience off right. I'll just have to make it that way!
