Todays agenda: New boot camp and New play space

Those were the two goals today! To try out the new boot camp since the one i have been attending the last 3 months has been cancelled due to cutbacks--Christie was finally on board to do bootcamp, especially after hearing how much fun i was having.....but mine was cancelled, so we went to the one at the aquatic centre: still had childminding, still around the $10 mark, but wow, what a difference!!


For 1: The music=Wham????

sigh.....and listening to 'It's raining men' and various other 80's music--don't get me wrong, i love my 80's, i love to dance in my livingroom to the 80's, but i don't want to get my butt handed to me in bootcamp listening to wham!! It did NOT, i repeat, NOT get my mojo going!

For 2: There were no precious water breaks after really really hard sets.....and she would tend to lose count on these sets...she would suddenly be like 'what number are we at??!' I am glad i feel confident enough to stop what i am doing in the middle of a set to get water if i need it....i probably would have felt pretty sick if i hadn't. (Threw that last sentence in there for my mom, don't worry mom...i self-monitored!)

For 3: Maybe i was just being a wimp? Maybe i was just exhausted from Jazzercise from yesturday (which has music that totally rocks my world!!), or that today was the first day of my period? who knows.....it was definatly an off day, but on the upside, Christie and i had quite a few good giggles throughout the morning.

And lastly, it felt quite dangerous. There were a few moves in there that i don't think should ever be in a beginner class--ie: full plank push-up with one leg up in the air--are you KIDDING me??? I feel like i may have pulled a few various parts because i wanted to try, but with no breaks, no keeping track of how many we had done......youch! There was nobody left standing or breathing for that matter, at the end.

The last 3 months have been F-U-N!!!! Felt like gym class, good times (don't get me wrong...still hard, still wanted to throw up at almost every class), but she made it fun. This class was so on top of eachother, it was like working out in a crowded room.

But, onto the spare room news--my company has left and i don't expect any more for awhile...so tonight we cleared out the bed and made a few little 'stations' for the boys. A desk area, a farm area, hmm..thats about it for now, but it's space right?

Tonight we had fresh crab for dinner (thank-you neighbor Ed!) and i can't tell you how my farts are clearing the room.....chris walked into the toy room to check out my work and walked right out saying, 'cough, its nice hon, cough, it just smells bad' (wimp!)
