Boot Camp, Here I Come!

Notice that I didn't update my ticker with my gain? Yeah, that's me in denial :)

So, this morning I officially signed up for the 6-week program being offered by the gym here at work. I figured for 6 weeks, I can somehow manage to fit it in! Plus, I know how easy it is to get lazy in the winter so this is probably a great lead in to keep me moving during those cold months!

On a totally different note, I just signed up to be a volunteer at the Mile 5 water station for the Chicago Marathon, hosted by Breast Cancer Network of Strength (formerly Y-ME). I've been the captain of a team for BCNS for the past 4 years at my office so this is exciting to do something with them other than their annual fundraiser and walk. Plus, since my friend is running the marathon, I was gonna have to be out there anyway! Now, I can be out there and help too! And with it being Mile 5, we should be all closed up and done way before the race if over so I can still see him somewhere else on the course or at least see him finish!

Not sure why I'm so excited about this, but I am! :)

A boot camp - I am so jealous! I did it at the beginning of my weight loss journey and it really gives you a kick-start. I can't wait to see your progress from it! I totally agree that it sucks they cost so much. I had a personal trainer last year and she really helped me but now I can't afford it anymore. Oh well, I've done well on my own for the past 10 months.

Thanks for the hint about the butternut squash meal. I've looked at it a couple of times but will try it now that I know someone else has :)
