Well that was stupid. At least I'm feeling stupid right now, hopefully as I read back on this one day, I will see this as a wonderfully brilliant move.
The scene:
The night was still and quiet. The girl was in bed and I had just finished the dishes. On my couch, I sat back with my loyal laptop and perused through a day's worth of missed emails, Facebook posts, and daily deals. Was it being sleepy or just fried from a long day at work that made me click one too many times on the LivingSocial deal promoting a 4 week - 3 day a week - fitness boot camp. Perhaps divine intervention?
Yes, I was interested. Yes, it was a great deal. But no...I say NO...I was not quite ready to take the plunge into exercise hell. I was curious to see what the details were so I kept clicking and clicking and then the deal was done. Whoops. And I am entirely too cheap to waste this $20 and just chicken out....at least for now.
I have my concerns. Getting up early is not my cup of coffee. Perhaps because I do not like coffee and caffeine might as well be water to my body. Last summer when I "trained" for a 5K run, I was all good waking up early before work...and even on the weekends for let's say a good month. Then I slacked. I slacked bad. Baaaddd. Once the 5K run came by I was surprised that the pregnant lady walking with a stroller didn't pass me by because lord knows, both grandma and grandpa blew by me.
It all goes back to my first post here when I mentioned being all gung-ho about something but rather quickly lose steam. But this is only 4 weeks - I could verylikelymaybe do a month of waking up extra early. Right?
Truth be told. I am scared. Like really truly scared about this and I have not even yet gotten my email with the details inside. I exercise. Occasionally. I even bought Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and a pair of weights. A few months ago. Yep, you guessed it. Haven't used yet. I do love yoga but I feel like doing some moderate yoga in my living room at night has not exactly prepared me for running up and down bleacher stairs Oh speaking of the bleacher stairs - okay you expect me to run up and down them when I have always had an incredible fear of falling down them. Every time I have ever WALKED up or down bleachers, I freak out deep down inside. Running? That just cannot be safe!!
See....scared.
And so lucky readers, I will share this new adventure with you. I do not know when I will be able to start since 349 people as of a minute ago has purchased the same deal and there is a class size limit. I will be sure to keep you all updated.
Although it may not be my choice...would you rather do a boot camp style out side in the summer (early morning hours) or in the winter/spring indoors?

Update: I wrote this a few days ago. I am now even less enthused about this then before. I'm supposed to call to schedule my session. I haven't called. Will I?

Call. Give it a shot. If you hate it, you're only out $20. If you love it, well... :)
Maybe you and Sam (my duaghter)should talk. Sounds like you have the same fear. You can do it!!!
Call them! You just may surprise yourself!
Good Luck!!
