Boot Camp, Take 3

I started a third cycle of Boot Camp yesterday. I’ve settled into a 4-week on, 4-week off schedule. It makes more sense for me financially, and I can do some reasonably similar workouts at home during my “off” time. Of course, the past six weeks or so have been extremely difficult for me and I kind of slacked a bit on the fitness routine. So yesterday was a good jump start, especially since I apparently gained about four pounds this summer. F*ck.

Yesterday’s session was pretty typical and easier than I had expected, considering my recent diet/fitness routine of popcorn, red wine and walking to the mailbox. We do our workouts outside (until it gets too cold), but fall is on its way so we’ve been starting each workout in the dark. It’s so weird! But it’s nice to be outside when the sun comes up, and the weather isn’t too cold yet. The cold aggravates my asthma terribly. I did another session this morning (I usually do M-W-F, but I want to take tomorrow off). It went just fine, but then I got home and attempted to walk up the stairs and THAT’S when every muscle in my body said “good morning” by tensing up and then refusing to move. If my cleaning lady hadn’t been on her way over, I probably would have just napped on the steps for a while.
