Adventure Boot Camp, Day 9 - UGH!
Today was a bad day, not so much because of the workout I think, but more because I had to work late last night and didn't get to bed on time and I just basically don't feel good. I think I was in a haze for most of the workout and it didn't hit me that I was feeling really rough until I got home.
In any case, I am frustrated that I still can't complete all the exercises without rests and that my back is still hurting so much. Apparently, from the way it feels, the sacroiliac joint is out of joint again - that's when I get all the pain. It was leg day and we did a lot of squats and various exercises- it didn't seem as tough as the last leg day, but maybe it was - I was in that haze!
Tomorrow, I get a break THANK GOD due to a conflict...so maybe the rest will help me. I'm getting down to only 6 days left -- everday is harder for me to get up so early...but I am determined not to skip.
My weight is still lower like yesterday, but I had to chow down on some tater tots on the way to work since my stomach was iffy and those carbs always help settle it down. The end of this week will be challenging with regards to eating -- Friday night I have a dinner at Silver Fox - last time I ate there I literally packed on 4 lbs overnight - seriously. Saturday night, dinner again and Jimmy Buffet.....I must, must exercise some self-control on both nights. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!

i've really enjoyed your blog. i'm consuela's friend. i actually live in houston so i can't join you girls but i think it's great what y'all are doing and the benefits will pay off. i teach part-time at 24 hour fitness here in houston. i've been noticing how much you say your back hurts and how weak it is. may i suggest you try mat pilates. perhaps you can give it a try once you're done with the bootcamp. i teach pilates and it's excellent for strengthening your core (abs, hips, lower back, etc). if you're interested i could recommend some books and DVDs. consuela can give you my e-mail if you aren't able to see it. good luck!! hang in there!!
