Some days you've got it, some days you don't!

Today is a day I don't. I'm finding that for the most part, I show up to bootcamp and I'm rip-roarin'-and ready to go! Other days, like today, I'm dragging A$$.

Monday was awesome. Stacy held bootcamp for an hour and it was kickin'. I wore my heart rate monitor and burned just under 750 calories during that hour. We didn't get to use our watermelons (or in my case a cantaloupe) during bootcamp, but everyone dug into them afterwards and chowed down. I couldn't find a mini-watermelon so I opted for the cantaloupe. I had a feeling that we would be running holding them over our heads and I knew that if I got a full sized watermelon, even a small one, I would be close to killing myself. People laughed, but let's be honest, I tend to march to the beat of a different drummer.

Yesterday and Today have been a struggle when it comes to bootcamp. I've just been lacking a little bit of energy and today was a leg day and I felt like my legs were filled with lead - they just didn't want to move. I've finding that my energy level seems to come in waves as it relates to bootcamp, actually, it relates to everything. I have weeks like last week, where I'm gun-ho and going full speed ahead, I have full energy throughout the day and sleep well at night. Then there are weeks like this, where I can't seem to get moving at bootcamp and all I want to do all day is sleep, but I can't, and when I finally get to bed, I can't fall asleep.

I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. I spent some time working but also found time to enjoy myself. Saturday, Craig, Tara and Tara's daughter came over and we cooked out - they ate burger's and I ate my boca burger. We also had corn on the cob and cucumber salad. It was DELISH!!! Then we took a good hour or two and hiked down to the creek and through the creek. It was a really good workout and I seriously think that is why my legs have been so tired today.

Monday, G'man and I took a nice drive up to Ellijay and went to my favorite orchard. We couldn't pick our own, but we did get a 1/2 peck of Georgia Peaches and they are close to the best peaches I've ever had.

Other than that... all is well. School starts on Monday and I'm sure it will throw my routine into a little bit of a tissy for a while, but I'll keep you all abreast of what's going on.
