Months ago I had mentioned to friends and a now ex-boyfriend that I would be starting a personal style boot camp. Which means lots and lots of exercise and eating right. I don't know why I waited so long but now it's begun. And I am sore. Very sore. I ended up going for a late night bike ride last night. It was a little hard to see in spots but it worked out just fine for me. Yes, I kept out of the road.
I've done this before but for some reason it never fully became habit. Basically I'm trying to do twice or three times the amount of exercise as I would if I was just in maintenance mode. If I have snacks (outside of the occasional scoop or two of fat free ice cream), it packs on another 15 or 20 minutes of exercise that must be done. Plus the general workouts I already have planned for each day. This morning I did another jog/walk and it felt great. I really need to get out and get that knee brace so I can spend more time running.
My motivator: pictures. I took pictures. Three pictures of myself, standing with nothing on but my sports bra and some tight exercise shorts. It was disturbing. Three shots. Front, side, and back. I think my back is what bothered me the most. Whenever I don't feel like doing the workout, all I have to do is look at those pictures and I'll feel like doing it. I can't wait to use them as a before/after.
I really, really hope I end up liking the after.

You will like the after believe me. I still can eat ice cream and wings and continue to lose weight. Any questions feel free to ask me. I know how hard it is at first. Since you last saw me I have lost about 15 or so pounds already. YOU CAN DO IT!!
