It is finally here: the end of boot camp. Week 12 is now behind us. It’s hard to believe it is over! Looking back, I find myself amazed at how much change has taken place in just three months. It is hard to believe that we started this out freezing to death at every morning … Continue reading Boot Camp Diaries: The End
This past year has been a rough one for Greg and I on a friendship level because we have had to say way too many goodbyes to people who have decided to move away.

Happy Mother’s Day! Today is a day when we thank our mothers for their never ending love and sacrifices and let them kick back their feet and do nothing (well, a mom’s version of nothing) for the rest of the day.

The rain could have definitely been much worse and really it just drizzled during our actual workout time but it was just enough to make us feel like regular G.I Jane’s. Other than the rain, Florida spring, I mean … Continue reading Boot Camp Diaries: Week 8

Week 6: the halfway point. Its hard to believe we are already halfway thru. In some ways I feel like I’ve been doing this forever (in a good way) and in other ways I find myself approaching each week’s workout for the first time with fear and trepidation.
