BURGERS and BOOTCAMP

Oh yes.... It's here, JUNE. June = Boot Camp = ass kicking ahead!!!  I remember loving June because it's my birthday month, or because it was the end of the school year.... but now that's all changed... I have a whole new love.... It tends to remind me of a bad relationship..  You keep going back for more even though you know it's gonna work you over and leave you aching... No matter how bad you hurt the next day, the pain goes away, you forget it, and you show back up for more. Kiddin' ... kinda.

However, I'm all up into the boot camp business BECAUSE baby, it WORKS. Boot camp is huge to me, that's where it ALL started for this girly. A year ago I made the biggest change of my life and looking back, I'm damn proud!  So let's get this THANG done.

Of course like a total grease face,  I start off my boot camp day with a healthy meal of TWO McDonald's cheeseburgers. WHY? Why you ask? Because ... I'm a pathetic binger that wanted to wolf down nasty food in 10 minutes. I was gross.. it was gross. BUT it also proves to me that I'M STILL LEARNING and needing to KEEP GOALS on the front burner. GEEZUS MANDY... FAIL big time.

I need to be "re-energized", boot camp it JUST THAT THING. First off, Candice is going to measure me. Knowing she is will KNOW if I'm being a slacker keeps me accountable. Lord knows, I NEED IT... I mean... I also need my freaking mouth wired shut and my debit card taken away from me on BINGE days... but hey.. baby steps. Right?? Screw it... I'm renting SUPER SIZE ME.... that'll cure it. Or... you'll see my car in the drive thru.. You pick.




I've also decided on a MAJOR goal for me..... 7 in 7. What's that??? 7 races in 7 months. AND just as long as I don't injure myself or win the lotto and get plastic surgery I'm gonna do it.....

April ~ Wenatchee 10K
May ~ Portland RnR 1/2 Marathon
June ~ Seattle RnR 1/2 Marathon
July ~ Whiskey Dick 10K
August ~ STILLLLL SEARCHING
September ~ Iron Girl 10K (5K if Rylee does it with me)
October ~ Oktoberfest Leavenworth 1/2 Marathon

Count it up kids.... THAT'S A BIG DAMN DEAL. OH yes....this former couch potato is changing her way.... or whatever.

Just have to STAY FOCUSED.... Focus Mandy-Son.... Right?? I got this.. I can keep on track and keep motivated. I'm going to be blogging more. Mostly I just need to get this all out there. If I don't, it doesn't seem real. It's like the whole 2 cheeseburger thing...If I keep it to myself, I don't learn. If I have to share with you all... I'm facing my weaknesses. A long time ago a lady gave me a note. It said "If nothing changes, nothing changes." Well, dammmmit I want to change. I want to FIX this and move on. I want to have SELF CONTROL. GET REAL and GET OVER IT. Right???

Sooooo on that note, folks... I'm outta here. I'll be back on Wednesday for another update and I'll post my run (that I'm doing tomorrow) and my 2nd boot camp session.

Love,
M
