Boot Camp 101

I have been doing boot camp for a little over 1 week and I am LOVING it! I do half morning sessions, half evening sessions and it is defiantly something that I look forward to. There are different instructors, depending on when you attend, so there is always variety. In the mornings, we meet inside a mall.... so, as I am running past Banana Republic OR J Crew OR Victoria's Secret for the umpteenth time, I can begin to picture the clothes in my closet. Plus, I can see when they get cute, new stuff!

Since every session is a little bit different, you never have one part of your body that is sore.... you entire body is sore! But, I am one of those workout freaks that actually likes being sore after a good workout. It makes me feel like I am actually doing something.

Right now I am sitting on my couch with a glass of wine in hand, watching the Barbara Walters Oscar special. She just interviewed Vanessa Williams and she seemed to be one of the most honest actresses I have heard. Barbara asked her about how she maintains her 'look.' Vanessa was very upfront with it all -- Botox, multiple trainers, a special food delivery service, etc. I love how honest she was! Too many times these actresses act like they look like they do, without ever having to work at at. I love how she accepted the fact that looking a certain way does not come with simply good luck or good genes. Both of those things help, but you also have to work at getting that way.

Off to make dinner.... pan seared tilipia, couscous and salad. I am trying to get fish into our diet at least 3X a week.

Good for you. I have been doing Bikram yoga and the Couch to 5k. I am looking forward to some skinny jeans myself!
