I'm still struggling at bootcamp. Yesterday the instructor was Brigeda (IDK if I spelled her name right), and she teamed us all up. Of all the things that make me so uncomfortable, it's being in a team. I'm always afraid I'll f**k s**t up. And I kind of did, because I happened to get into a group of people who've been in the bootcamp quite a while, so guess who kept trudging along, all beet-red in the face, on the verge of collapse? At least, they thought I was... They kept asking if I was alright. I wasn't. There were several times I wanted to quit, just throw my hands up and say, I DON'T WANNA DIE! and take my mat and bottled water and leave. But the other people wouldn't have let me if I tried. They were like, COME ON, JOANNE! YOU'RE DOING GOOD! JUST A FEW MORE STEPS!
At the end of yesterday's bootcamp, one of my team members said, SHE'S HARD, HUH? SHE'S THE HARDEST, JOANNE.
I told her yes, and that I thought Jeff was the hardest.
YES, SHE LAUGHED. JEFF TRAINED BRIGEDA. (LOL NO WONDER I ALMOST COLLAPSED LOL actually, it's not that funny. I just wanted to laugh because God really has a sense of humor, and I'm laughing with Him LOL)
Today we had a different instructor. She wore shorter bike shorts than I did, and she made us run around the pond three times, then do torturous push-ups and squat sets where, every five or ten counts, she would say, HOLDDDDDDDDDDDD IT. Then we ran some more, did some sprinter sit-ups, and more laps around that pond. Funny. When you're sitting on the benches watching all the ducks, you don't notice how looooooong that damn pond is. At least, not until you run around it six times. Now, I didn't run particularly fast because grannies kept outrunning me... but I'm proud that I didn't give in to the voice going, JUST WALK ITTTTTTT. I kept on running, slow but steady.
One of the other bootcampers, Angie, ran past me at one point and said,YOU'RE DOING GOOD, JOANNE! I can't believe they know my name. I haven't even talked to that many people. That's nice, but a little uncomfortable for me. JUST DON'T HUG ME, PEOPLE. JUST DON'T.
I don't do hugs.

I will be going to the 6 p.m. bootcamp downtown today... I wonder who the instructor will be, since it seems to be a different person every time I've gone. I didn't think I'd like that, since I'm a classic creature of habit, but there have been many things I've had to force myself to get used to these past few months. However, I can see why it would be a good thing to have different instructors. At least I won't get bored LOL
I've probably fully convinced DaJuana that this bootcamp is awesome. She says she wouldn't have gone to it if I didn't, and then, considering the low prices, it's a great deal.
Every chance I get, I say hello to another camper and ask, "How long have you been doing this bootcamp?" My last "interview" was with Josh, who sarcastically replied, "Oh, God. Too long!" LOL I told him I thought the prices weren't bad. He said, "They used to charge $10 a month, or $50 for six months." Geez, I nearly peed my bike shorts when I heard that. He said he thinks the instructors finally wised up and finally started to charge "normal" prices six months ago.
Dang, I wish I had joined sooner. I didn't think I was mentally prepared, though. Remember, I went through the angry phase when I just went to Dairy Queen everyday and got a dipped cone? LOL I did that for two weeks because I was pissed that I was fat. That really didn't make sense because all it did was make me FATTER, and it also made me not want to even look at dipped cones or ice cream for a while. I just do the dumbest stuff sometimes.
But this bootcamp? This was smart. And I'm going to tell everyone about it so that we have more people.

Early morning bootcamp with Fred today... whew. I was always last, but that just means there's lots of room for IMPROVEMENT. LOL I told him I worked out Saturday with Jeff, and that was really hard. He said if I survived Jeff, I'll be OK. I forgot to add the word "barely" right before "survived." Oh well. Monday's bootcamp was with Harrison. That was pretty challenging too.
DaJuana and I asked Fred what the rule was with rain. He said unless there's lightning, they keep working out. Wow. And the group is pretty good because we had a lot of slackers when we trained with Angel. She would get people who would cancel last minute, and then she'd get really irritated because she'd end up with less than five campers. Then she'd cancel... and then... finally she just stopped doing the bootcamp altogether.
Last time DaJuana asked her when she'd be doing bootcamp again, she told DaJuana that at the moment, her clients preferred one-on-one training at Legends. You know, the $40-some one-hour training which was not exactly one-on-one... It was two,three, or four people at the gym. I really wasn't bothered by that part. It was just too expensive for me, and I think I prefer to work out outdoors.
Still, I miss working out with Angel and people like Alva. Legion Fitness is great... but I sometimes feel like I'm cheating on Angel LOL And the worst part is that I think Angel's mad at me. She must know that I'm going to another bootcamp. I'm sure DaJuana told her guy friend, and I'm pretty sure as well that her guy friend told Angel's husband. That was how Angel knew DaJuana was looking for another trainer way back. In any case, I texted Angel yesterday, and no response. Oh well.
So I'm beginning to see results again. I refuse to get on the weight scale til I really feel a difference in my clothes.
It feels good to have a routine again, though! :)

DaJuana and I went to a 5:30 a.m. bootcamp today. OMG. It was like Angel's bootcamp, but in Hell :P More push-ups, more everything. By the time 6:30 came, we were drenched in sweat and just laughing about it. It wasn't the same instructor, so the workout was different from Saturday's...I wonder if they do weights sometimes.
I'm coming back with a vengeance. I will lose the weight I gained this school year. And I will stop eating at that wretched cafeteria at school, even though I love their yams and turkey pot roast LOL
I'm so excited!!!

Living Social had a coupon for Legion Fitness' bootcamp downtown, so I bought it. Then I looked at the website, and I freaked out because every single person in the photos was skinny. Ugh.
But I think I'm supposed to go because I saw Renita at an in-service on Wednesday and told her about the bootcamp, and she asked why I bought it but haven't gone.
"Joanne, I want to do a bootcamp. I'm willing to go downtown. Call them." And again, before lunch, she looked over at me eating my whole wheat bread and roast turkey breast sandwich (I was on my eighth day of cleansing), and she said, "You gonna call them? Call them." So I did, and we started today.
I think we didn't do so badly... It was very challenging, and there were lots of things I couldn't do anymore, like push-ups, but... I have to start over. ANYTHING is better than doing nothing about my weight. I made up my mind when we fell behind the group of skinny people running that I needed to just come everyday.
Gosh, these downtown people are sooo skinny. They look like they don't have an ounce of fat on them. And Jeff (that's the trainer) won't wait for you. You just gotta keep up. Oh well. That's what I need.
