Tomorrow will have been two weeks since my last post. Many times I’ve wanted to blog or thought about blogging, but felt quickly deflated at the thought. I didn’t want to write bad news or no news. I’ve been working my butt off…or so one would think. I’m just not seeing the results. So there you have [...]

Everything’s Copasetic
February 24, 2010
Much has transpired since my last post. Sorry for the gap…I’m most inspired immediately following a workout (gym or intervals) but rarely inclined to write at that time. So. I completed my fourth week of bootcamp, which means I’ve ramped it up for the next 4-week period. Intervals are now four times weekly and four [...]
Too much, too little

I will go on record as saying, “I could make a living being dissatisfied.” That said, bootcamp is an exercise (pardon the pun) in dissatisfaction…and insecurity (by way of uncertainty).

First of all, let me apologize to my fan for not writing sooner. Had I done so here is what I would have said: Man! I’m sore. Ow…that hurts. Sigh, I wonder if I’ll ever quit hurting.

Upon arrival to the gym I check the mirror where he’s written two workouts. One is a basic workout for the beginner. When I’ve both [...]

As my first workout gets closer I’m amazed at my level of anxiety. I was telling my husband last night that this is the most diffuse anxiety I can remember ever experiencing. It’s like that itch, that when you go to scratch it, it moves…well when I get close to labeling my anxiety it transforms. I’m reminded [...]
Here Goes Nothing
January 24, 2010
I must be crazy. Starting a boot camp training program at my age?!! I feel like Oscar in Armageddon (is that Freudian or what?)…I’m 62% scared and 38% excited…no—no—I’m 44% scared and 56% excited. Sigh. Of course I want to have a lean body, a good figure. I want to be healthy into my 90’s and [...]
