http://www.whas11.com/bios/couch.js: September 2008 ArchivesI feel great today! My boot camp buzz is officially back. I didn't make my goal of in bed by 9pm, but I was in bed by 10pm! And after seven hours of sleep, I woke up ready to go! Okay, I also had a Diet Coke before boot camp, but still, the energy was mostly natural. ...I have had a very traumatic morning. This morning I hopped on the scale at home (pre-camp) and found that I had somehow magically gained 4 pounds overnight! Okay, now I know that's (mostly) not real weight. Since it was literally an overnight gain, I know it's mainly water, caused by a variety of things, including the soy sauce (major sodium!) I consumed the night before. ...It's Friday! This officially wraps up week two of my second boot camp. It's been a blast yet again, even though I'm totally sleep deprived (and showing it) this go around. ...Wow, did I say that my upper body was sore yesterday? Because until today, I don't think I even knew what sore was. My shoulders and back are aching, and every muscle that doesn't hurt at the very least feels exhausted. But again, this is a good thing. The more it hurts the day after, the more I'm reminded of how strong I'm getting. ..."Ooh... this hurts". That was pretty much the only thought in my head this morning, for the 60 minutes I was at Mohr Fitness Boot Camp. Okay, except for the cool down at the end. Then I was pretty much thinking "thank you thank you thank you". ...Today was fantastic! As Coaches Chris and Kara Mohr told me today, it's amazing what a difference a little sleep makes. It's very true - I could feel that I was performing nearly 100% better than last week. At least, from what little I'm able to remember of last week. ...Hallelujah! I finally got some sleep! Let me just tell everyone who has been reading this blog - I have no recollection of last week. I don't remember boot camp, I don't remember work, and I definitely don't remember anything I might have written about this experience. Thought about going back through and reading the entries, but I'm a little afraid. Better to just move forward. ...Okay, I promise that today is the last day that I'm going to blog about how tired I am. In fact, I'm not even going to mention it, aside from saying that I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. But despite that, today has been a great day! ...Okay, so this whole sleeping four hours a night thing is officially making me loopy. Last night I couldn't figure out which way to turn the wheel to back my car out of the parking space. Seriously. ...Okay, it's day three of working the night shift, and day three of no sleep. The effects are easy to see. Aside from the obvious ever present tired feeling, I'm also not making decisions as easily, my emotions are all over the place, and physically I'm definitely not performing at my best. Unfortunately this isn't something that I can control, other than try my best to go back to sleep after boot camp. ...Okay, it's official. I am no longer able to survive on four hours of sleep. In college it was no problem, but now that, ahem, a "few" years have passed, I'm no longer so adaptable. This week, as I mentioned before, I'm working a night shift, getting home around midnight, and then hitting boot camp at 5:30am. This is tough! ...So my alarm went off at 4:30am this morning, which can only mean one thing. Time for boot camp! ... |
