Results of wk 7: Run like the wind!

BODY: Each and every wk my body feels great! even though this wk was challenging due to work being extra stressful (and when that happens...all i want to do is eat! eat! eat! I promise it isn't junk but still...), I tried to do what I get told at work...I leave my problems at the door. Once I enter Kazaxe, I admit that I'm extra sleepy because I wake up early, and as soon as Maia asks If we are ready to start our workout...of course in my head i say...hell no...but once warm up starts...I get the going! lol But it feels super good to push hard (as hard as I can go). My body loves running! lol i didnt know i had it in me. This wknd has showed me that I can run and will kick ass (or worry about not getting my ass kicked then kill it! lol). Saturday and Sunday I completed my first runs (warrior dash showed me that I am a true warrior minus the near death experience lol).  When I first started running...i was super out of breath. But now, especially this weekend I know I am able to run miles! This weekend I ran my first 5K and 8K, i didn't think I could do it but heeeey! I ran my first my 5K in under 30 mins and that was my goal! I ran it in 28 mins...yaaay! My 8K, I ran it in 49 mins (with the chip thingy on my shoe) and gun time was 50:26 mins. Not bad for a first timer huh? Thanks to bootcamp, I've been able to run and not be so damn tired! lol it feels super good! oh and can I say, my clothes are fitting GREAT! (still working on getting rid of my love handles! lol)

LEARNING: I'm learning that I cant eat what I used to anymore! lol many...i was super hungry on Friday...s o as you guys saw i posted a picture of my late snack...so the pupusa that wasnt pictured...didnt hit the spot like it was supposed to or like it used too :( and not good a day before race day :( but it's a good thing that I can be picky with what I eat because I make the best decision of what to put in my system! :) Even tho all the greasy yumminess might look good...i know it will not make me feel good at all :( Fitness wise...form is what makes or breaks you really...and literally. If you dont have proper form you aren't really working anything out. the only thing you are doing with incorrect form is hurting yourself...LITERALLY! 


OBSERVATION: I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the positive energy and remarks that I have been receiving these past few weeks in bootcamp. My friends and family have been nothing but supportive to me and my sister! On Friday, I was freaking out about the "TOUGHEST" race in DC (it was kick ass tho lol), but a friend on facebook had said something that lit fire under my ass to not stress out and just give it 110%! She told me "If you are a warrior you can survive." I absolutely appreciate everyone's support from my fam, friend and from the bootcamp crew...you guys are completely awesome! I appreciate all the love and support! Even though last week I had a rough patch with a very good friend, I know who I need to have in my inner circle. As I said from the beginning I do not have time for NEGATIVITY!  Like Mary J. Blige song goes...no more drama in my life :) 


GOALS: for the remainder of bootcamp I am going to focus on pushing super hard! I am also going to start to train to run! You will be seeing more of my sister and me running our asses off in at least 2 races a month even after bootcamp! WE have more 5K's and 8K's and possible 10K's in our future! Also keep adding weight training to workouts and also a little bit of yoga. I think I need to stretch out the muscles that I have used! lol 


Imma end this with a positive and funny note cuz WE ARE SEXY AND WE KNOW IT! AND LOOK AT OUR BODIES CUZ WE WORK OUT! (i wanted to post the video but its not letting me)

  1. LOL!!!! I told you your brain and body would lean toward healthier food! It's amazing isn't it?!!!! Life is not life without a little junk food, but when your body is in prime health, it demand nutrition which junk food doesn't provide! AND your body will tell you that. It's just not the same feeling emotionally or physically. You just have to find that healthy junk food (good breakfast food is mine) that gives the body it needs--usually healthy carbs!

    Love that your running. I discovered it at 19! My dog pulled me in the beginning and I'd take lots of breaks, but as I continued, the breaks became few and far between and I started my first 5K and finished in 22 minutes!!! Awww, youth. I just wished I was more determined at that time to complete a marathon then. My bones are weary now so I need longer recovery times!!!! Awwww....youth..... Anyhow, I'm so glad to hear how much you've found your inner sexy superstar. Once you conquer health, you are one step closer to your dreams! And I love that I'm blessed enough to watch! Now, let's get to your dreams!!!!
