BOOTCAMP

My sister has a friend who was recently certified to be a personal trainer. She agreed to come and work with a group of girls from our neighborhood 3 mornings a week for an hour each session.

For the past 6 weeks I've been going.

I hate it! I hate setting my alarm at night. I hate waking up an hour before the sun. I hate crawling out of my warm bed and the shock of going outside. I hate lugging my weights over to the park. I hate the frost on the ground. I really hate being cold. I hate running. I hate lugging my weights back to my garage. I hate getting home just as my kids are getting out of bed to get ready for school.

On the last day, she retook our weight and measurements.

"What?!?! I lost how many inches off my waist, thighs, and arms? I lost how much body fat? Oh, the next session in January? Absolutely, I'll do it! I'll go home now and get my checkbook. Thanks so much!"

Maybe I don't hate it quite as much as I thought.
