Boot Camp! Not for the weak of shoulder..

Boot Camp was this morning!  It was really awesome and an AMAZING workout!  I struggled quite a bit with it.. we did a lot of shoulder exercises and considering the fact that I worked my shoulders hard at the gym yesterday, it made it a bit more challenging.  However, I walked away feeling really good and pretty happy with my performance.  As with any other workout where I have some struggles, I always have the "you could have pushed harder" feeling afterward, but I did work hard!  We did suicides today which was probably the first running I've done in like 2 years.  With all of my issues with my knee, I kind of gave up on running a long time ago.  I was pretty surprised at the fact that I didn't die lol.  I kept up pretty well.. or at least I think I did :)  I can definitely see how doing the Boot Camp on a consistent basis would accelorate my weightloss.  The only catch, it costs $299 for a 4 week session (5 days) or $219 for 3 days.  We're being pretty tight with our budget right now trying to pay off bills so I'm not sure that I can justify the spending.  Branden and I will have to talk about it.  Either way, it was great and pretty fast-paced!

Moving on, last night I didn't cook my own spaghetti and meatballs.  I got to my mom's house and she had made a HUGE pot of Chicken Spaghetti sauce so she wanted us to share.  It was good and not terrible(health-wise), just shredded chicken and chunky vegetable sauce over pasta with homemade whole wheat italian herb bread. 
I still have the defrosted ground turkey that I was going to cook with last night so I'm thinking of using that to make my tacos tonight, as opposed to the chicken I had planned to use.. We'll see!
