Last night, Gerard talked me into going for a run with him. Walking/Running with him wasn't terrible. Minus the freezing weather outside, it was nice to spend some time with him, talk and get in a workout.
BUT...before we left, everything inside of me was screaming to stay in my warm, comfy pj's and keep doing a whole lot of nothing. Lately, I have not wanted to work out at all. Maybe it is the cold weather. Or maybe it is just pure laziness.
This week, I am starting a bootcamp once a week at 5am. Hear that....5AM! Now I am not a morning person. Never have been, never will be. This also means that I will have to LEAVE my house earlier than 4:30. That is early people! Starting in February, this will become something I do 3x a week for 5 weeks. I will definitely become a morning person whether I like it or not!
There are some good sides to this craziness though. Obviously I will be working out and getting into better shape. The other good part of this will be that the class is from 5-6 and then I will have a gap until I go to work at 7 or 7:30. This means that I will be able to have an extra hour or so in the mornings to sit at Starbucks, read my bible/devotions, and spend time with my blogs.
It has been so tough for me to fit everything I want to do in my day and I am excited that God created this opportunity for me to have time.
I am so scared to start this new workout but I know it will be good for me. Luckily I will be doing this with a friend and won't be alone. I will have someone else by my side to push me, encourage me and keep me accountable.
Have any of you ever done a boot camp? Any advice for me?

proud of you! I so want to be a morning person... maybe someday I will actually go to the 5:30am yoga class I've been wanting to try.
Good luck! I wake up at 6am and try and work out..usually going running...but I've seriously slacked and I know it's because the weather...I hate cold...I don't know how to get myself out in it lol
You go girl!!! That is definitely dedication. Even though I AM a morning person... I just couldn't bring myself to do that. haha! But I definitely understand what you mean... I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day! I'll definitely be praying for you and sending you some encouagement... maybe YOU will encourage me to get off my lazy butt, too!
