surviving the first leg of the trip

Ok! One week of boot camp is done and I can't believe I made it, especially since I had to give my beauty sleep. Really! I am not a morning person so just getting out of bed and making to every session this week was hard. Talk about hard. OMG. The exercises, the drills, and the pace was intense. It seemed as though each day I discovered muscles I never knew I had. Also, I never knew what you can do outdoors to exercise. Who needs a gym after the trainers creative mind of how to use the environment? Losing weight is getting harder and I have to keep telling myself that I have to do whatever it takes. The sore muscles and aches will be worth it in the end. Please note - since I am still over weight, I can not perform like others in the boot camp who are in better shape than I am. There is not way for me to measure up and it did bother me. But, I did something for my satisfaction. That is, even though I was not the first one done nor the one with the best form, I completed the exercises. No short cuts or quitting. At some point, I think I developed this inner strength that tells me I can't fail. If I do, then every person who negates the way of life I am choosing, wins. Where is your inner strength? How can you develop it so that you continue to pursue what is important? I know you can. Again, it is not easy, but it can happen. For as many times as I was negative or rolled my eyes out of disbelief, I could kick myself.

BTW - Tomorrow is weigh in time. I don't know what the results will be given my new meal plan. All I can hope for is losing inches if I do not lose pounds.
