I started a self motivated boot camp last week. I am trying to go to the gym at least 4 times a week, and for at least 1 hour. I have been keeping up with that so far. I started half way through last week and went twice. I went yesterday and today, and I want to go the rest of the week.
It is amazing how motivated I am to go the gym. I am doing no less than 45 minutes of cardio, and then spending about 25 minutes weight lifting. It can be excruciating. Horrible. But, every time, the next day I am ready and wanting to do more. The motivation really has derived from the weight I have lost. Almost 30lbs now.
I have got the rest of this week before the holiday, and before summer classes start for me. It will be hard for me to keep up this pace during school, I go four nights a week, four hours a night for four weeks. Hell! I have about 2 hours inbetween work and school each day, so I figure I could still do at least a 45 minute workout a day if not 1 hour, and then head off to class. We’ll see how well that works. I just want to be able to get far enough this week to be motivated to keep going during school.
cheesy ending to a post, and sort of cliche, but what the hell, wish me luck.

Yep, it can be tough, but its definitely worth it in the long run. Remember, nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I didn’t make that up myself, I stole it from some other guy trying to lose weight.
Best of luck to you on this.
Thanks for the well wishes, I am working hard at it!
