Bootcamp Day 10 - Limits

I've done so many jumps today it's ridiculous - jumping jacks, volleys, leaps, bosu balls, leapfrogs, bounces, pouncing, skipping, hops... even jumping with weights (yes, this IS is humanly possible).

The only thing I haven't jumped off yet is a cliff... only because its a recession and good cliffs are so hard to come by these days.

Bootcamp day 9 - Hope

I have no words. I’m just exhausted today. I need motivation. Let’s see…

 

YES, we CAN!

 

This one’s for you, my ta-tas!

 

I will not quit.. I am not an Autocrisis that needs a Bailout!

 

Save me, Tom Cruise! May the power of Xenu and Vitamins be with Ish!

 

IcandoitIcandoitIcandoitIcandoitIcandoit… here’s to getting carded more often.

Bootcamp Day 8 - Bookkeeping

The Bad News: I may not have to resort to comments such as "Holy boobage, Batman!" in my pics for the next little while.

The Good News: I can now wake up at 5 am without an alarm clock!

Bootcamp Day 7 - Perspective

If Adnan Sami can do it, so can I!

(Although I highly doubt Mr. Sami had to haul his sleepy ass while it is still dark through the treacherous snow.)

Bootcamp Day 6 - Casablanca

We had a newbie join us at class today. Drill sergeant assigns me to partner up with newbie (of course).

Now, I'm sorry to say, andGodForgiveMeForSayingSoI'mReallyReallySorryPleaseDon'tHate, but newbie is a tad huge. We're saying large. As in muffintop if wearing jeans. As in, one who needs more than a bootcamp to shape up. Maybe even lipo :\ (I said I'm sorry!). But whatever, gotta give a girl props for trying, right?

In between lateral raises and push-up with laboured breathing, newbie confides in me that it's her hubby that has suggested this bootcamp, because newbie just can't seem to stop the splurge to eat and hubby and her just can't seem to.. y'know..err, get the splurge on?! :\

So I pump her up, and tell her she can do it!

When we are done class, we walk off to our cars. I'm too hot to bother after the bootcamp, so I don't wear my fluffy jacket. I am however, wearing my TnA workout gear. I notice that newbie's hubby has come to pick her up. I stop breathing.

Of all the freakin* bootcamps in the world...

Newbie's hubby is someone I had known aways aways aways back. As in someone who wasn't very nice to me (at the end). Newbie's hubby looks at me like he has seen a ghost.

We exchange introductions and pleasantries, and when I walk past their car, I can *see* newbie's hubby checking me out, and then muttering under his breath "damn damn damn damn damn!"

Revenge (and Nutella) may be sweet.. but karma, baby.. karma is the sweetest. :)

Bootcamp Day 5 - Acceptance

I remember when I used to commute to downtown Toronto for work. I'd be up at the crack of dawn, reminiscing about my warm toasty bed, and watch the world go by while sitting in rush hour traffic. The odd times, I'd catch a jogger pound the pavement, dressed in layers and mitts, sometimes in frigid temperatures near the lake. I remember looking at them, rolling my eyes and muttering under my breath - "You crazy fools! WHAT is wrong with you?! WHYYYY are you doing this?!"

Today, dressed in layers and mitts in frigid temperature, I finally knew why. :)

Bootcamp Day 4 - Love

Today, my heart stopped beating.

I wish it was due to something as simple as falling in love, but alas, it was merely the consecutive 50 jumping jacks followed by 25 squats followed by 25 lunges followed by 25 crunches that did it.

Bootcamp Day 3 - Motivation

Must.. keep.. spirits.. high… mustn’t… cannot.. will NOT.. die.. just yet.

Not until May 2009 (Star Trek release date).

Bootcamp Day 2 - Beseech

Why, God, why are you keeping me alive?!!

Bootcamp Day 1 - Gratitude

Yes! I'm alive!!! Thank you, God!
