Ouchie!

Okay, this past week I endured 3 days of boot camp (MWF) at 5:15 a.m., did a Zumba class on Saturday (I made Elaine looked good!), and a 13.5 mile bike ride in 100 degree weather today. My body aches, my left knee is acting up, and overall, I feel great! This week I will be adding cycling classes into the mix.

I have come to realized that I may never be the size 6 that I dreamed of, but if I can get my body fat percentage down to 20% and still be a size 8 then I will be thrilled. I love food too much but there should be a balance. I have always had great cholesterol levels and my blood pressure is outstanding but that is not what my family sees when they first see me. It doesn't matter how long since it's been since I've seen my family- the first thing they always say relates to my appearance. Aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family...And the family actually gets upset over it. How do I apologize for not being the size 2 like the rest of my family?

What did I get myself into?

So...I signed up for 1 month of boot camp and 5 zumba classes. Hopefully I don't kill myself. I went from running 2-3 times a week and cycling class the first quarter of this year and now I am barely getting off my ever expanding bum. After finals I decided to take a week off as a relaxation break. The week after I ran for 3 miles. 2 weeks later (this past weekend actually), I did a 12 mile bike ride. It's still not enough. I want active Betty back...especially now that there are 13.5 months left and counting.

BTW, we got a wedding planner. It was David's idea. I was semi-against it since it was additional cost that we did not need to incur.
