Boot Camp - Week 2 ended!!!

Oh man. I am just not getting this right. If I'm going to start trying to become a morning person (i.e., wake up between 5:30 and 6 every morning), then I can't be staying out drinking till midnight - 3-4 times a week!

Last night started out at the W for the LEK alumni event - free food and drinks, cabanas...basically an all-around good time. After that, we headed over to Beechwood (again) for Cavs' surprise birthday party - I told myself "only one drink" with the expectation that I'd be out of there no later than 10pm....well, 11:41 rolls around and I still hadn't left. Anyway - enough about last night.

This morning, I got to boot camp about 10 minutes early - walked around in the sand for a bit to get the heart pumping - but probably shouldn't have and instead should have drunk some water as I had cottonmouth about 5 minutes into the class (and never really recovered).

There was a big emphasis on arms and chest - I am really really weak. I don't know why it's so hard, but we did 50 pushups, and by 15, I had to punk out and go to my knees to finish them off. Between 40 and 50, my arms were shaking! I guess I just need to keep at it.

As for other exercises, I've been doing plank just fine...for about 1 minute, after that, my shoulders start aching real bad. I know the abs are supposed to hurt, but I didn't think my shoulders would be feeling it, too. Maybe I'll check in with Nandor and have him look at my form on Monday.

As for this weekend, I'm heading to Vegas - probably won't get a chance to do much (which could be really nice), but I'll try to get in the gym on Saturday afternoon. Of course, I'll keep y'all posted.
