Okay, so my 30-day bootcamp challenge started this morning! Myself and 4 of my "runner" friends are doing bootcamp in one of the friend's basement 3 mornings a week from 5:30-6:30 a.m. We are also trying to watch what we eat -- being sure to get enough protein, avoiding excess fats and refined sugar, etc. Can't cut out the carbs because I'm training for the half-marathon on May 1st, but they need to be good carbs -- whole grains! We are holding each other accountable for food choices by reporting out each morning any poor choices we made over the past 2 days.
We all weighed in and did our body fat percentage this morning and the challenge is to see who can lose the most body fat over the course of the month. Ugh! Not fair to have to weigh in the Monday morning after Spring Break! I was very disappointed that my weight is up 8.5 pounds from "marathon weight" (up from 137 to 145.5...although with the poor eating and the drinking I did over Spring Break, I have to guess that some of this is "water weight" and will come off quickly) and my body fat is up 3% from early December when I last checked it (up from 17% to 20%). Not happy with those numbers!!! On the upside, I guess it gives me more of a chance to win the challenge?? The sad part is, I'm not really entirely sure how this happened. I have been working out like a fiend, so it's got to be the eating. I know I haven't been great over this winter, but I didn't think it was that bad (back to the "Damn Weather" post).
Well, it's a new day, a new month, and I'm ready for the challenge. Can't wait to weigh in, check body fat and take some new pictures in a month....I wonder if I'll see any change physically?
