Weigh In - Week 36

I just got home from boot camp.  Today was the booty-est, campy-est boot camp ever.  We ran drill after drill after drill without stopping.  The recovery time was spent running laps around the neighborhood junior high track.  We spent most of our time in the center of the track on the muddy field doing bear crawls, lunges, jumps, sit ups, burpies, froggies and a bunch of other-kick ass moves with cute names.  Here is a quick shot of my tee-shirt post work out.  I'm doing a white load with bleach as I write this.

All complaining aside, its been a great week.  And Mallory, if you're reading this, I love your boot camp classes even when you drag me through the mud.  I've had lots of success this week in saying "no" to little offenders that I usually have no power to avoid.  For instance, I went through the coffee drive through and got a drink for my husband, a chocolate milk for my son and nothing for me.  This is a BIG feat, people!  Usually I think, "Well, I'm here and I'm ordering and it would be silly not to quell my tiny coffee craving with a Double Venti Caramel Latte Bomb."  On Sunday, I made whole buckwheat pancakes for my family, as I usually do.  And instead of having a pancake with syrup (or two), I made the cakes and then enjoyed watching them eat while I drank a big glass of Green Lemonade.  Little victories!
