Bootcamp day 6
Current weight: 219.5 (-1.5)
I almost skipped my morning weigh-in b/c I was worried that anything other than a loss would set me up for a bad day and since I was baking cookies I didn’t need anything to give me an excuse to eat. I was thrilled to be under 220 and with the last batch of cookies in the oven I’m proud to say that I made it through the day only eating 1/2 a cookie. I kind of invented a recipe and I truly wanted to know if they were any good so I split one w/my hubby. Given the fact that I baked about 15 dozen cookies I’m pretty happy w/the results.
It was also interesting to see how much easier the bootcamp workout is when I’m not doing it at 4 am. On the upper body workout, which I did today, you do something similar to burpees which I hate. If you’re not familiar w/burpees, you start in a standing position, jump down into a plank position and then jump back up to your feet. This workout adds a jump after you get to your feet and you do as many as you can for a minute. Usually I just do regular burpees but I was able to add the extra jump the whole time and I could probably have gone about 20 seconds longer. I was huffing and puffing like a fool but it was much easier than usual.
I really need to stay out of the 220’s. It’s funny how I can feel fat at 223 when at one point I felt so skinny. I know that 215 will be the same once I pass it by (and 200, and 175) but for now I’ll feel like I’m wasting away when I get there. I haven’t tried on the dress that I want to wear to the benefit but I’m curious to see if I’m getting close. One week to go, so that should keep me motivated.
Progress toward workout goal: 118/300
YAY. wtg for under 220 again and for only a half of a cookie!
Great job on being into another decade (and the teens! getting small now!)
Am I right that you are more than 5 pounds down since starting bootcamp like a week ago?
I can really relate to this “It’s funny how I can feel fat at 223 when at one point I felt so skinny.”
I’ve felt that way about so many weights. And now feeling it about the same weights the opposite direction too — right now my scale is 197 and it’s feeling skinny, and a few years ago it was seam-busting lowest of the low. Of course, a year ago it was a distant memory, so it’s good to be living it now again.
