Today was TOUGH.
My abs were still burning from all the crunches, planks, etc from yesterday, and today was core day. Started with the regular 1 km run, and then it was full-on ab assault for 45 bloody minutes. It was nuts - crunches to plank to blossom (which is NOT as nice as it sounds) to side bends, etc etc... I can barely lift my arms, and everytime I laugh I feel like someone is stabbing me in the stomach. It can only get better, RIGHT???
To make things more difficult, I am REALLY hungry today. I think this meal plan is starting to catch up with me a bit, so today will definitely be a challenge. But I am sticking to my plan, come hell or high water!!
My menu for today:
1 egg, 2 egg whites
2 whole grain toast
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 bowl soup with shrimp wontons and vegetables in beef broth
Caesar salad
4 oz flank steak
1 sugar free pudding
Total Calories: 1173
Ugh.

Day 1
I'm off to a damn good start, if I do say so myself :)
Bootcamp started with fitness assessments and measurements, so that we can compare at the end. So while I don't think I'll be posting a before pic (ick) I will post my measurements.
They were:
Bicep 12"
Chest 40.5"
Abdomen 37.5"
Hips 41.5"
Thigh 24.75"
Calf 15"
I did better in the fitness assessments than with the measurements...beat everyone else in the 1 km jog (5:02) and the squat hold (2:01) so I'm pretty pleased overall. Plus I really like the instructors.
I have also stayed 100% on plan with my eating today!
Today's menu:
1 egg& 2 whites
2 slices back bacon
coffee
bun
100 gr turkey
honey mustard
apple
1 turkey sausage
1 serving lentils &rice
green salad w/ 1 tsp oil
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup blueberries
TOTAL CALORIES: 1175

'Twas the night before bootcamp...
Yoga mat...check!
Dumbbells...check!
Big bouncy ball...check!
So what can I say...I am sick of looking at all my cute tops and sexy jeans that have been collecting dust at the top of my closet, and feeling like a sausage in a scuba suit every time I try anything on. And with my high school reunion coming up in 10 weeks (ugh), its time for something drastic. So I'm starting Survivor Bootcamp tomorrow, 5 days a week, for the next six weeks. I'll be blogging about it here in the hopes that it will keep me on track and out of bed at 5:30 am. I'm following their meal plan also, so that means about 1200 calories a day (doable), and no alcohol (errrr...).
How bad can 6 weeks be??? I guess I'll find out soon enough...
p.s. I'll post a before pic tomorrow!
