11 rules for your first workout with Powerfit Bootcamp

1. Never underestimate how loud JR can yell at the group.
2.  Never underestimate how encouraging JR can be to you as an individual seconds after yelling at everyone else.

3. Never underestimate how encouraging everyone else can be.
4. Never underestimate just how deafening the cicadas can be (only relevant during certain workouts.)

5. Never underestimate how hot you will actually get.
6. Never overestimate how tired you will be when it's over.
7.  Never guzzle your water.
8.  Never think too much.  If you think, you vomit.

9.  Never vomit on the pavement outside - it splashes.
10. ALWAYS vomit in the bushes - it gives them nutrients.
11.  Never think it is a good idea to roll down the car window to vomit.  Never.

So if you haven't guessed, I had my first workout with PowerFit Bootcamp this evening.  I'm so tired, but amazingly I feel good.  We moved the whole time.  I enjoyed it but like I said, I'm tired.

So, I didn't blog over the weekend.  Here's a rundown:

Saturday - consumed 2,699 calories and burned 0, 199 over target.
Sunday - consumed 2,836 calories and burned 0, 336 over target.
Monday - consumed 1,919 calories, 581 under target.  Boo-yah!

Today, I'm going to quit tracking burned calories.  I will still exercise, but I won't track it like it's a little credit to eat more.

There's still a struggle.  About once a week someone brings in a little snack at work, or like on Sunday.  We went to Chili's for lunch and I got the endless lunch.  I had chips and salsa, two Caesar salads and two bowls of their enchilada soup.  I have this mindset that if it's endless (read: all you can eat), I have to "get my money's worth".  Well, I need to be more concerned about my health than my money's worth.

To wrap it up, there's a group from our church that is going to Joplin Thursday and I'm going.  It's going to be a long day and we'll see a lot of destruction, brokenness and heartache, so we need lots of prayer.  Thanks in advance.
