Well friends, here I am, two months later. I've completed two 4-week sessions with Camp Gladiator. I am feeling the effects of getting back to active - running the full time/distance, building more strength, and the big win: shrinking out of my clothes. I don't quite see it yet, but my friends do - and that too is a huge win. There's always more work to be done, but I'm happy thus far!
My 3rd camp started this week, with my first attendance last night instead of Monday. This week is absolutely brutal on my calendar, so I will sneak in ways to work out here and there. I have not been doing the best job of eating well, I will admit it. I am very conscious of my portions, and am still eating smaller meals throughout the day. With the dental issues that started a while ago, my meals are off. My biggest focus as far as food intake goes is to ensure I have adequate fuel for workouts so I don't crash/bonk. Beyond that, mostly healthy and small portions.
Things have been so hectic getting packed and moved, and then having the Farm (special group of people in my life) in for Moto GP, I've had nothing remotely near "normal". Don't misunderstand - I wouldn't have it any other way :) I love my Farm time, and miss my peoples tremendously!!! I am hoping to get to a mostly-healthy food routine within a few weeks. There's still so much to do at the house.

CG wut wut!
My amazing and wonderful roomie kicked off the idea of boot camp to get us going, to keep us motivated, and for general badassery. Okay perhaps I made up the last one. But it stays. So deal with it.
This is week 2 of my first boot camp style workout ever. I slugged it through 2 months of P90X. This kicks P90's ass like there's no tomorrow. How, might you say? NO PAUSE BUTTON. None. Did you catch that? NONE. On the "pro" side ... the people are nice, the instructor is encouraging and flexible, and it's a positive atmosphere. I ran for the first time in a solid 15 years. it sucked. I walked some. But last night, 3 laps around the church parking lot. Was I the very last one in? Yep. But I ran the whole thing. Okay, by ran, I really mean jogged, but it was more than a walk, and I kept going until I was done. My knees feel it today. I'm going to be picking up a joint supplement to help out... but I'm not sure if it's just atrophy or actual joint. Either way, my joints won't dislike having some supplements!
Food.... ah food. I'm changing which carbs I eat. Always horrible. Trying to get more protein in my life, which might be more of a challenge. Oh, and getting back to my routine of eating throughout the day on a schedule, to keep the "fire" burning so to speak.
AAAAAH! So much to do!!
Oh - and today's title is brought to you by Camp Gladiator ;)
