Unfortunately last week I was unable to attend boot camp. My finally measurements were, I weigh 140 and 31% body fat. The reason for these results is because I didn't make it to boot camp as much as I wanted because of work and school, but that should not be an excuse....I know. For this second project boot camp wasn't my main focus. My main focus was to work on my descriptive and E-prime writing skills. Which I did work on more. I am a little disappointed however, at the fact that I could have possibly tried harder to explain things than use visuals...? But I guess the visuals did help. And the other thing I'm a little disappointed at is I really need to work more on E-Prime. I'm sorry Lawless, but wow....E-prime IS difficult. What I did accomplish was that without thinking, most the time I would write my blog posts in E-Prime. So I guess I did accomplish my project. I am happy with my work because It was a huge confidence boost to post my weight and body fat. However, I learned a lot from this experience and class. I learned new writing techniques that I will not forget, I boosted my confidence AND I taught myself, self motivation for the future! =)
Today without any reminder and having no desire to go to boot camp, I went on a 3.5 mile run. I haven't ran since 5 months ago and it was amazing! The sun finally came out, sweat trickled down my face while my skin felt nice and warm against the sun's rays. The air also smelt fresh and almost like sea salt. It reminded me of summer and how its HERE BABY! SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE!!! My summer goal is to continue to work out and get prepared for college!

BC2 Journal Entry 12 for week 4

Wow, what a crazy past three days. I have had nothing to do but watch fourth and fifth graders run around like crazy. Did you know that in Elementry school there is a lot of drama!? I sure did not and the drama was insane! Luckily the kids kept me on my toes and I was able to get a few good run in's while chasing some kids down. Unfortunately I did not make boot camp, however, I went on a peaceful hr walk. Like I mentioned in one of my past blog posts, if people want to see a difference and to become healthier all you really need to do is exericse for at least 30 minutes of your day whether its walking to the mail box or walking up and down the stairs. For me, I walked outside and it was a gorgeous day out. I had the opportunity to feel the run on my skin and in Oregon, thats rare. Even though I hardly made it to boot camp this week, I still stayed a little active here and there and that is the important thing.

So I absolutly have no time to go to boot camp. I have to be packed by tonight because tomorrow I am leaving to go be a counselor at an Elemntry Outdoor School Camp until friday. I have done better, however with my eating habits because I know that I havent exercised yet so its making me paranoid. Hopefully these little kids will keep me running so much that I will have gotten my exerices that I need for the week! =)
While in boot camp however, here was another one of my favorite exercises, the Static Crunch.
This exercise works your abdominals and your arms because of when you hold up the weight. It seems easy but dont be fooled by the image. It can be a bit of a challenge when you hold a 20 pund weight over youe head while trying to balance on your butt.

I had a great weekend with my family! I had to work full time all last week and had the opportunity to take friday off and go camping. I felt so releaved to have had a break from the "reality". My family and I went to Fort Stevens camp ground in Astoria. We did not get home until today around 11 am. I am so excited to go to boot camp because last week i hardly went! Ugh, unfortunately I forgot that Memorial Day is a national day and no one works. Apparently boot camp is closed as well! Great! Its ok, I went running once this weekend, I bet I can go tomorrow.
