Oh yeah! I am half way finished with the month. Today we warmed up with a few laps around the track. Then we did these jump things where we jumped from what foot to the other and sort of looked like speed skaters. Next we used the resistance bands and did side steps with each leg. Next we did squats with a dumbbell.Then we ran. We ran a lot and up a hill too. Finally we did a running/squat exercise with a partner where a resistance band is around your waist and your partner holds the handles to make it to there is even MORE resistance! Fun Stuff. Rinse and repeat. Finish off with suicides and stretching. Oh and we did some pushups at some point. After it all I went to the gym and stair stepped away for 30 minutes, walked on the treadmill for 15, and stretched/ab work for another 15 minutes.
On the scale today I was at 197. Finally the scale is moving in the right direction. While I would love for it to be even lower than that I can recognize the increase muscle tone in my legs, arms, and abs. It's quite awesome actually.
My bridesmaid dress for the wedding I am in in August is being sent to me. I hope that bad boy fits. I would even love to have it taken in. How awesome would that be?!?
I booked my flight to NYC using frequent flyer miles and saved myself $500+. Thank god for those bad boys. I am SO excited to see JM with my mom over 4th of July weekend and then just a few days later in NYC!

Boot Core Day 6
Well I made it to the end of Week 2. Friday was a pretty high intensity cardio day with lots of sprints and rills. Really humid, but not too bad. I finished class and then went to the gym and walked on the stair climber for about 35 minutes and the treadmill for 30. I also stretched and did some ab work for a good bit too.
I had yesterday off, so I took my time at the gym. I cam home and ate breakfast and took a nap. I woke up, showered, ate some lunch, and went shopping. I also went and got a mani/pedi. Came home took another nap. I met friends out for dinner where I made a healthy choice and then we went to a showcase. After the showcase we went to a couple of bars and met up with friends. I drank one shot total, had a blast, and came home WAY too late. Pictures and more to follow :)

Boot Core Day 5
Today was the first day I struggled (ie hit the snooze) to get out of bed this morning. In my haste to make it to the gym in time I put on my new shoes instead of the older ones I have been wearing because the class is all outside. Oh well. This morning was quite cool, but I was sweating in no time. I bought a new tank top at target last night because I was just too hot in t-shirts. I really liked it, so I might have to go back and pick up another one in a different color. Today’s workout consisted of 2 circuits. We did each one for 25 minutes. They included such fun things as push-ups, dips, squats with the medicine ball, row etc. I would say it was one of the easier days I have had. Maybe I just didn’t push myself as hard? Or maybe it was the cooler weather? After I finished up with 35 minutes on the stair climber and 15 minutes on the treadmill, finishing with 10-15 minutes of stretching.
Thank you to all those who have answered my request to find out about how you met your significant other. I have really enjoyed reading them AND finding a few new blogs to read in the process! Of course you can still participate if you want.
So last night I went to Logan’s with my old roomie who is in town for the week. Usually this place is an overeating trap. I didn’t feel like a salad because I had one for lunch. So I got the BBQ chicken breast w/ a baked potato, and broccoli. I immediately cut both the chicken and potato in half to save to take home. I also had 1 roll and ZERO peanuts because I had some earlier in the day. It was exactly the right amount of food and now I have a second meal.
