Am I Really Doing my best?

At the end of week two I ask myself... am I really doing my very best?

I have to say that my food choices have been the best they've ever been. I've been much better about rejecting bad foods. When I do make choices that aren't the best I make it a point to work out harder/longer than I normally would. I feel like I've learned a lot in this department because of Maia and my test groupmates.

But what am I doing about my FITNESS outside of bootcamp? Other than working out on the weekends... nothing. I know that I can add at least two or three extra workouts in outside of class during the week. I'm in awe of my test groupmates that have already shown that they are going hard outside of class during the week... I'm going to do that too!!

At this point my body feels STRONG! I feel like I have more upper body strength that I've ever had. I'm so excited about it! I will say this - my left knee has been giving me a lot of pain. I need to get back in the weight room to work on my leg muscles to help the old knees out.

I find that my friends and family have been very supportive. They have complimented me on the physical changes they see and that type of acknowledgement makes me want to push more to reach my goals!! Some have even asked me how I did it and it feels good to share the knowledge that I've gained throughout this experience.

So here is my goal for this week! Fit in THREE workouts outside of bootcamp during the week. At least one of those workouts will be lifting weights - quads, hammies, etc - to help out my knee. I will do yoga at least once by the end of the week (I'm very injury prone and my body needs as much help as it can get!)
