One month of boot camp in the books.

With just two weeks to go, I am nowhere close to reaching my weight goal.  It was probably an unrealistic goal, considering the short time frame.  The good news, I can feel some results.  When camp opened, I could barely do a sit up.  Now I am doing accordion crunches, and crunches with my legs in the air, in a v-shape.  I feel stronger and I think I have a bit more energy.

At today's camp, I was pleased to find it was a smaller class. I did not have to share my 8" step of torture.  At every Saturday class, Brittany would do something different.  The pattern continued today as she started us out with simple side steps and leg kicks.  I foolishly flirted with the thought she was going to go easy on us.

When you are doing step aerobics, time seems to come to a stop.  After going through a period of unrelenting sets of accordion crunches, rows with a 15 pound weight and back to the crunches; I thought for sure we were half way home.  I looked at my watch.  It shocked and disappointed me. We had only completed 15 minutes of the hour long class. Next, she instructed us to sit on the floor. One knee brought up to our chest, the other leg straight out.  We then had to lift our big butts off the floor, doing leg lifts with the extended leg.  I swear, that Apollyon himself, gave her the idea for this exercise.

Brittany did say she enjoyed my blog, and she did like my description of her, although I had her 3" taller than she really is.  I pointed out to her that when you're lying in a pool of your own sweat and trying not to puke, the instructor can appear larger than life.

Like I mentioned earlier, I only have two more weeks.  Sadly, I only have one with Brittany.  Next Saturday I will be in Chicago, so my make up class will be with someone else.  This Thursday, at 7:45AM I will be tortured by someone other than Brittany.  Did I say 7:45AM?

When my six weeks are up I hope to find another Groupon deal.  As much as I respect the Body by Todd staff.  The location is not ideal for me.  The Quest for 180 continues...
