I didn't fall off... promise!

Woah Nelly! It's been a hot minute since Chunky Diva checked in! Yikes!! Not even a week in and I'm already slacking! I've got to do better!

Let me just say this. I haven't been just sitting around eating bon bons. I've actually done some running, or tried to. I have been having terrible shin splints. OUCH! So I have been nursing that while trying to still be active. I have not been able to run as much as I had been, but still at least going!

Tonight though, I skipped my run. BUT let me tell you WHY!!! I went to an amazing workout at the local gym. Tuesdays and Thursdays they do these awesome mini boot camp type of workouts. First hardcore workout in over a year for me. The water bootcamp was awesome and fun, but this was intense!! Talk about sweating! We did all kinds of stuff! We did 2 minute rotations. Inside and outside. We would be inside with V and did things like jumping jacks, burpees, jumps up onto a platform, crunches, planks and my brain is mush right now so I can't really remember what all else. But it was a lot!! And then we would go outside and do stuff with Robert. He had us doing stuff with those big ropes. Boy I forgot how heavy those suckers were! We did just the waves. We did lunges and squats while waving them. We did burpees with them. Man. It was tough! And just when I thought we were done, we had to run! It was only maybe a quarter of a mile.. but it was so hard after that workout! I was proud of myself though. I did run over 3/4 of it without stopping. 

Phew! But I made it. Now, if I can make it out of bed in the morning will be a different story. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is what I want. This is what I am working for. You can't just get what you want overnight. It took a few years to put on this weight, so it is going to take time to get it back off. Gotta keep on truckin'. I'm just glad I got back on the saddle tonight and have such an encouraging group of ladies to workout with. They are such an inspiration and motivation to me!

Way to go, Chunky Diva. Way to go!
