Abs of Steel

Abs here, reporting in: No hot guys at bootcamp today. In fact, there was only one of the male persuasion and he had quite the scowl on his face. Bad day perhaps.

Over the years several have deemed me 'abs of steel', thought none of those years have actually shown me to have them. Today, Bootcamp Day 3, I might (yes, I said 'might') have begun. The flab portion of my beginning state was a reminder today as I toughed out the plank position (who thought of this torture pose?), the superman and lots of crazy leg raises and zig zags. Let's not forget the 8 million times I had to jump to my feet from the floor or squat or jump my feet to my hands in a sort of crab-like position. So quite possibly I 'might' have begun my thighs of steel as well. Praise the Lord as these are definitely a bit jiggly. What a great word-jiggly.

On the inhaling portion-I think I might have possibly eaten within my calorie range today. It's about time. Tomorrow will be a testing of my wills. . .there are funfetti cupcakes in my future-fab beware, cake is trying to keep me in the flab zone!

Question of today: Will Ade always have that bald spot on her head???

ooh ahh ouch.

Don't you know it, we're wicked tough (in our spandex-hehe!)

I (Ab) think things in this picture (me) look smaller than they actually appear! As for Ade, she was practicing catching flies in her teeth as I took this picture.

Today my sore body (yes, we went to bootcamp Thursday and it's now Monday and I'm still sore-though we can throw a soccer game in the middle) ventured out to bootcamp again. I had a quiet group of 6 tonight (though one huge dude grunting through the strectching after we were done-it was weird). (I love parentheses) During my long drive home I relished in how great I felt and thought, "Oh, I'll just go home and run some more!" Then of course I got home and thought, "What the hell was I thinking of running more?" Then after some dinner. . .of which we will not mention the contents as to embarass the eater. . .I took myself up the stair. . .yes, it was a one at a time adventure because my legs hurt sooooo bad! I made it up in a very vocal manner groaning at the torture treads, but found sweet relief at the top (my bed).

Now for my thought of the day. . . "will someone hot be at bootcamp tomorrow?"

BAD.....but so good!

Funnel cake fries.....I mean, can you blame us???

Of course, we are also trying to support local economy and keep good restaurants around :)

Soreness...

So, after Day 1 of boot camp 2 days ago......I'm (Ade) am still sore!!! Ugh....I hate the 2nd day soreness, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and go to the gym. I did some interval run/walk on the treadmill for about 30 min. and spent a large amount of time stretching. I now have less soreness and even burned 203 calories which I promptly put back on (and then some) with my diversion to McDonald's for some delicious french fries - they were totally worth it though! Ab and I also went to Roller Derby tonight to support our own Crescent City Rollergirls --we get bonus points today for supporting local exercise and women power! :) Check it out...they are so tough (as I aspire to be)!

Boot Camp Day One

After weeks of eating deliciousness and enjoying every bit of it except the pounds it packs on, we (Ab and Ade) are getting back on track! Using our fantastic Groupon, we started our 6 weeks of boot camp today! After some jog/sprints around the block, I (Ab) decide that never ever will I eat again before bootcamp! Bootcamp was circuit training tonight-can't wait for the soreness to come tomorrow. . .
