First Week of Boot Camp -- DONE

Tonight was my last night of boot camp for the week.  I am FEELING it, but it is a good hurt!  I know I am working when I am sore.  We had 3 GREAT classes this week and I am so thankful for all the encouragement I get from my instructors.  Thank you Ashley and Dawn.  You guys are the best. 

I got my Nutrisystem shipment today and had my first meal.   I ate the meatloaf and potatoes and it wasn't that bad.  Probably not something I will eat on a regular basis but it was tolerable. I ate a salad with my meal.   I also had a Nutrisystem carrot cake and it was GREAT.  I have my food all picked out for tomorrow.  I will post on what I think about it.

Thanks to everyone for all your support! 

Weigh in Wednesday

Wednesday will be my weigh in day so here goes.  I can't believe I am putting this out there but I have to be held accountable. 

My starting weight is 201.  Yes 201.  So mad at myself.

Ok my food is supposed to arrive tomorrow.  I am so ready to get started on the program.  I have been trying to eat good while I am waiting.

Boot camp was GREAT last night.  Thanks Dawn!  I am ready for tonight!

Day ONE of the NEW ME!!!

After I posted the other day I looked at the post right before this one.  How I was making a change, and I thought, well that doesn't look good.  I have been here and said that before so what makes this time different.
A little background.  In May of last year I joined Extreme Fit Boot camp and LOVED it.  Now let me tell you, that first month was HELL for me.  I haven 't exercised in a VERY long time so I HURT!  But I DID it.  I made it through the first month so I signed up for another and another and another.  I lost around 20 pounds, just watching what I ate and doing the boot camp.  Then I hurt myself.  I started having really bad hip pains that would go all the way down to my foot.  So I went to the doc and he told me I had sciatica and sent me to physical therapy.  That was August. 
My physical therapist suggested I give boot camp a rest to recover from my injury.  So I did.  My plan was to start back once I got better, but I didn't.  And guess what, football season started.  I started eating bad wasn't exercising, I gained about 15 pounds back.  UGH!  It makes me so mad just to say that.
I joined the Holiday Survival Camp at Extreme Fit and went like 3 times maybe.  I was just "too busy" or it was "too cold".    I made it through the Holiday's without gaining any more weight (how I don't know).  And I decided at Christmas that I am not making ANY MORE EXCUSES.  January I am starting over.  It is time for the NEW ME!
I joined Nutrisystem because I have NO SELF CONTROL when it comes to food.  I am hoping the system will teach me to be more in control.  To eat because I need the fuel, not because it is fun.  To control my portions, to make better decisions. 
I also signed back up for boot camp and tonight is the first night.  I am SO READY!  Ready to freeze, ready to fight through the pain, READY!
This is about ME!  No one else.  I am going to be selfish for a while and that is OK!
