Week 10...

10 weeks ago I was laying on the couch wondering what this challenge was going to be like and whether I had what it took to make it through the 12 weeks without embarrassing myself - well I can definitely say that it hasn't been without its embarrassment but I do have what it takes.  I have only seen a couple of people from the contest, but they seem to be doing really well also.  It is going to be a tough race to the end, but it will only be the end of the contest - certainly not the end of this journey.

In the past 10 weeks I have counted calories, burned over 37,000 calories at the gym, run 2-5k races back to back, done a crazy boot camp and quite literally grown out of all my clothes.  I am currently down 18.8 lbs, but I am pretty sure that some of these workouts have developed some muscle too (which does not weigh more than fat no matter what people say - 1 lb is 1 lb - it just takes up much less space).  So hopefully that will also have a positive effect on my overall results.

The next two weekends are trips away and next week The Enforcer is on vacation in Europe so I am on my own (which also means that I get a bonus week to lose that much more).  Workouts on my own for a whole week?  A little nervous, but I think I have some good habits going and I do have boot camp twice next week so that is good.  I am also a little nervous about being out for dinner two weekends in a row, but will just have to keep my wits about me and work out extra hard if I slip up. 

Next week is 'freebie' week at boot camp so if you are in the London area and want to come to one of the classes - you can try it for free...the added bonus is that the person who brings the most people gets 4 free weeks of boot camp!!!  So let me know if you have any interest in joining us from 7-8 pm on either Tuesday or Thursday next week!!!  The class is a lot of fun - it is hard work - and it is free to try it out...ladies only though sorry guys :)
