I really don't know what, other than actual curiosity, got in to me and possessed me to try boot camp, but I did. and I lived to tell the story. So here goes.
First of all, I didn't know what in the world was going on when my alarm went off at 7 (I had to shower before I went, don't judge me). I was so disoriented. Then I saw my alarm saying "BOOOOOT CAMP!" so I was like oh yeah. that. I'll spare you the details and profanities that lead up to me actually getting to sweeten creek, but there were quite a few f-bombs in a pretty short amount of time. Anywho, I get there and Karen was directly behind me (bless her brave soul for not making me go alone) and we were the first two there. We were early (I'd rather die than be late) so we sat around and chatted, till 2 other ladies showed up and then we did a standard warm up, then got down to business. At which point I will say if you read on, you read at your own risk. My post workout good mood, much like my breakfast, is long gone and I'm not really interested in censoring myself. Consider yourself warned. Moving on, there were 5 stations (my memory is fading with my old age so I may not have these in order,especially because I started at station 5). #1 was this thing (I'm bad with names) where you held a dumbell, squatted as low as you could, then pressed the weight up, then stood up. I probably had a "WTF" look on my face because God knows I'm about as coordinated as Helen Keller. #2 was a pretty standard row I've done before,then #3 was dragon (or curtsey) lunges,#4 was sumo squats and #5 was pushups. After he went through those,I was like okay, maybe this won't be so bad. That dream got smashed in approximately 2.4 seconds. He also threw in an ab exercise and a cardio exercise to be done after every station. It was in total,15 exercises....so like after I did pushups for like 45 seconds, you got 5 seconds to get ready to do surrenders,then right after that, I think the first one was flutter kicks. After 1 round of alllllllll that,I got some water and kinda felt iffy. I barely made it through the second round and at that point I wasn't 100% sure I wasn't gonna throw up. But I didn't, much to my surprise. Afterwords, I was driving home, loving life as usual. I actually made it home feeling pretty okay, and now it's like a ton of bricks has smashed in to me. I also feel like it should be 5pm, but at the time I'm writing this, it's not even noon.
To be honest,I'm actually REALLY impressed with surviving. Right before Darin yelled "GO!" the first time, my life flashed before my eyes, not really, but I did think "well. here goes. hope I don't embarass myself or pass out" and I don't think I had any other thoughts during boot camp that can be written out/posted on the internet haha. It didn't suck as much as I was expecting, I can't say like "oh I loved it!" but I don't know that anyone can....anyone in their right mind that is. I'm kinda sore already. Darin told me from now on,on my blog/facebook to be specific when I say what hurts/is sore. Well. let's be specific. everything. hurts. haha. I dont know about hurt, per se but everything is tired. My hamstrings/quads and my shoulder blade muscles are fairly sore.
anyways,this whole thing could have been summed up in 5 words. Boot camp kicked my ass.
