Day 8

I woke up today with a level of energy that I have not had in a long time. The weekend was just what the doctor ordered.

We welcomed two new "campers" so it is me and 6 women. I am obviously comfortable in my enviornment.

We started out our day with a 3.1 mile bike ride to a park where we had a circut set up that included a rigorous workout and about 3 miles of jogging/power walking. We then rode back the same 3.1 miles. I then had kick boxing and an amazing abdominal workout. My trainer Annie wore me out. Jillian Michaels ( Biggest Loser) has nothing on Annie. By 2:00PM I had 3 1/2 hours of training in. We had 5:45 minutes of training in today. The amazing thing was how great I felt.


I realize that this is not the real world. I truley hope that when I am released I will be able to apply the tools that I have learned. I still have more to learn and I know this is a long process.

Many people have been asking me in e-mails if I have lost weight. At Core Fitness they weigh you in every two weeks. They have done this because many people do well in the first week and sometime hit a wall in week two. There is then emotional issues that effect peoples preformance. I personally have chosen not to weigh in until my discharge. I feel that " it is what it is". I do not want to either be disappointed or over confident. I just want to work as hard as my body will allow.

Thank you again for all your support. It truely keeps me motivated to see that my friends are supporting me.
