Robots in Disguise

I feel like a transformer. When I get up and down I move real robotic like. Manuving each joint one at at time. Im not dancing either. Im in pain. This morning, day two of returning to bootcamp, we did cardio, which consist of skipping, and hopping and a running and twisting and sprinting and more sprinting.  After an intense work out, I seem to move at the speed of a snapping turtle. I said I wasn't going to tell anyone that I was working out this time around, but when Im moving like the tin man from the wiz and grunt like I need an oil can to my joints I feel the need to explain. My coworker isn't asking any questions, she thinks Im just crabby from my cycle. I can play that off for the rest of the week, but what about next week. Hopefully I will have loosened up a bit, this stage is no fun. This time around Im eating right in conjunction with working out. I hope to drop drop drop. My sister keeps saying that its 80% what you eat and 20% activity. We'll see.

Back to Sq1....Again

Today, today, today... Im tired. I quit bootcamp a while back. I had a lot of deadlines at work and felt I needed to get into work by 7 for two weeks to complete those tasks and I also had a business trip. My two week hiatus turned into a six week hot messitude, im back now. But I feel like im back at square one.  When I left bootcamp my arms and shoulders were shaping up real nice, my pot in my belly was melting and everyone was geekin because I was a push-up machine... I could barely do those this morning.  We did inch worms this morning DA HORROR. (Im glad we're not being video taped - I can only imagine how I looked, booty in the air, mean wedgie I just couldn't reach and then collapsing on the ground, repeat) I was moved to tears behind those things. I think part of my problem was lack of energy because of my menstrual cycle - day 3. I usually skip my work out the week of my cycle for this very reason. This time I just had to get back out there, my health is waning at my tender age and it scares me because I know I am 100% the problem. My goal is to make it out every day this week. I am proud of myself for getting up at 445 and meeting the team despite my current menstrual state. I am ashamed Ive let all my progress leave me, but I will get there again. Its time!
