Boot-camp Boo-tay!

I have succumbed to the reality that I am not the best motivator for myself. It's weird realy...I have coaching experience and can come up with a workout for others, but when it comes to self-motivation and workouts-nada. I usually just 'wing' it and end up unsatisfied with my workout.

I can run on my own (if I roll out of bed in time) but when it comes to strength training myself, I'm hopeless. So, I've decided to try a local boot-camp. It's so local that I only have to walk across the street. This means there is NO excuse! It's only twice a week which I was kind of bummed about at first but after not being able to move since Monday, I think it should work out fine. :)

I've also started counting my calories and am trying to just scale back a bit on my eating. I can't stick to strict diets and really enjoy eating healthy.  That being said I try to do my best throughout the day tracking every last calorie on myfitnesspal (which is so helpful!) and leaving about 600 calories for dinner because my husband who does the majority of the cooking (I know, lucky me!) doesn't change cooking habits for anyone. So, I usually try to make the best of the choices and not worry about it too much. For me-it works! I may not be losing weight, but I feel better, healthier, stronger...and in the end that's what counts!
