Last night's BC went well. Again, I was struggling with those blasted BURPEES!!! Last week, I was able to do almost 7 in a row and yesterday, I couldn't even get to 3 or 4! Ugh! No one can be harder on myself, than me. I want to keep moving forward, not take 1000 steps back when it took 100 to get forward. I know patience is a virtue, so, I need to keep that in mind.
Yesterday's routine was a good one. Our finisher was a KILLER. We had jump squats, squat holds and lunges....(reverse, forward..stragnant...) for 2 mins. The squat holds were the beast.....after doing 2 set of them.....Albert says"Okay, squat holds" and MAN did it BURN!!!! I was trying to go to my "happy place", but it didn't exist for those 30 secs. Everyone was groaning, our faces were contorted from the burning and in the middle of our agony,....he's saying "Feel the burn, love the burn......**blank stare....** LOVE the burn????? I seriously think that several of us were plotting to tackle him as he walked by us..... :)!!!
One of the things I want to really improve is my legs, especially my right leg and left knee. My tom-boyish ways are manifesting themselves and coming back to me in the form of "PAIN".......I can tell how rough and hard I was on my body when I was younger. Playing basketball, softball......etc....my knees hurt after every BC, especially the left one. As for my right leg, I am not able to sprint, due to a car accident I had 20 something years ago......I am hoping that I can build up my muscle enough that I can run. I will have pain at night, just due to the scar tissue that developed after my leg healed. So, there is not getting around that. Albert suggested a massage therapist that will be able to workout all that scar tissue. He said that it will be a bit painful....so, I don't know. I have such a low tolerance for pain, so just knowing that, it gives me pause. Hopefully, I can do some other things that will give me conditioning I need to get at least to the point of sprinting again.
One of my co-workers is very interested in joining our camp, which I am so excited about. She was concerned about the cost and I do understand that. But, this morning, she approached me and said that she thinks she is ready. So, I sent her some of the links that Luka forwarded to us and she is going to come tomorrow to start her 3-day trial.
Next week starts week 7 and my meal plan. I have decided to start on the Warp Speed Meal Plan, which is for 28 days. I am interested in getting some of this FAT around my waistline DOWN!!! Ugh....I am so tired of the spare TIRE I have around my mid-section!! I keep saying that a tummy tuck is in my near future, but Albert told me to hold on, let him have a crack at eliminating this curse. So, I will see.
