Can hardly walk. . .surviving day 2!
Pain, so much pain in the legs! Every step is labored and I feel like I am wobbling around my house. If at all possible, day 2 of bootcamp was more intense than day 1! Instead of just squats and lunges we now are now squatting down and jumping up and at the end of the lunges we stay down and pulse for 10 seconds. My muscles have not burned like that in years! There was way more running today as well and we did lots of quick foot work with the ladder and rings, hopping in and out and quickly alternating feet.
It is by far the most intense hour of working out I think I've ever experienced. I remember coming back from summer break and starting to train with the soccer team again in college and those were intense workouts as well- but I was younger then and in MUCH better shape! lol
There was a period of time today towards the end where our trainer was thinking of what exercise to end with (my suggestion of working my eye lids was ignored) and we were sitting on our mats and he said he was being nice to us giving us a break. We probably got to sit for 2 minutes if that!! He really packs a lot into an hour, there is very little down time, unless you count push ups where you at least aren't moving your legs or crunches.
Yesterday I kept saying really off the wall things because I think I was disoriented from the fatigue. lol
At lunch Julia was smashing her sandwich and I said, "please don't do that Julia, we don't need to squash our family." (what?)
When Andy was making their lunches I suggested that he give them some chips since it was a Saturday, except it was Monday. He just looked at me and smirked.
Then before Caroline went to bed I asked him to go get her antibiotic and I said,"It says on the bottle to give her a dollar fifty but we just give her a dollar." Um, I meant a teaspoon. So weird.
Our trainer, Kevin, heard me telling Amy about this and he asked if I was eating enough and said to eat more. I thought I was eating enough, but if thats a direct order then I can certainly take it up a notch. I just finished two eggs with cheese and two pieces of toast and that doesn't count the one and a half bran muffins I ate before leaving for the workout! And I'll probably be hungry in another hour. :)
I had considered giving up coffee and switching to tea during the week because of how much sugar and cream I put in it- but I am reneging on that for sure!

LOW VOICE AND LOUD:
"Up in the morning with the sun
Eat our breakfast, then we run...two, three, four"
This is one of the marines bootcamp songs.
I think of you often when I'm in the bed. What a trooper you are!
