I want to be healthy... I really do. But I am NOT disciplined. It's hard.
After working 8 hours, all I want to do is put on my sweatpants and cuddle with my husband while eating food that was cooked for me... yeah right!
The reality is that 3 nights of the week, we are at church functions together, plus one other that Chris goes to without me. No one is here to cook us dinner. No one does our laundry, and no one cleans our house so that it looks nice for Thursday nights when we host small group.
So sometimes... I order food... most of the time, my floors are dirty... and laundry piles up...
Cuddling all evening with my hot husband... ISN'T REALITY.
And normally working out is the first thing to go from my evening schedule.
Also... am I the only one who forgets something every time I go to the grocery store? I swear they probably know my name, because I go all of the time!
As a note... I'm okay with most of this. Because my husband and I always make time for each other, we are in great small groups through our church and love serving in our church! So for the most part... these sacrifices are well worth it!
Anyway... I tried something tonight.
My friend and coworker, Lisa (she's AMAZING), is in a Crossfit bootcamp and tonight was bring a friend night... I was the chosen victim friend.
OH MY GOSH! They're not joking when they call it bootcamp!
It was seriously hard... like I can't get off the ground...
somehow I survived it... and actually enjoyed it.
Here are some photos that they took during the class...
The team there is truly a family. They cheer each other on and support each other! It was so encouraging and inspiring to see so many women (and one man) who are all from different walks of life... with different stories... but all having the same goal of getting healthy and in shape TOGETHER!
Team cheer at the end of the class! |
Lisa is amazing... and did such an awesome job! She was SO encouraging to me (like usual)! She pushed herself... pushed me... and was also very patient with me when I thought I was going to be the first person to die during the bootcamp ;)
My consensus... I want to join Crossfit bootcamp.
Time to get healthy and do this for me!
Sincerely, Loo
So so proud of you for taking the first step, it's the hardest thing to do!! And you kicked butt! Hope you signed up for the next one because it's much more fun to work your guts out with a friend! xo
