Boot Camp kicked my ass

Okay folks. I am currently maintaining two blogs. One for my fitness rants and one for my regular everyday life stuff.

Brooklyn Jogger has a number of things on her fitness plate right now:

For my 29th birthday I got a personal trainer/boot camp fitness class. It isn't as scary as one on one training, 'cause I work with a small group. We meet twice a week for the next seven weeks at 6 am. Yes. 6 am.

Anyway, Day One was tough, but I handled it. We did fitness assessments.
Mile Run: 10:26
Sit Ups in 2 minutes: 52 (Holy shit sit ups are way harder than they were in 7th grade. I had the 2nd highest # in the class.
Plank: 55 seconds
Push-ups: 10 military, 14 on my knees (in 2 minutes)
Waist Measurement: 32.5
Body Fat %-26%
Weight: 135

Okay. Day One done. I was a little surprised at my body fat # and my waist measurement, but whatever. In 7 weeks, I am going to be a skinny bitch.

Day Two. Holy shit.

It has been two days and I am still sore. All over. Is that okay? Should I go to the doctor?

I cannot be this out of shape. I think I have mono. Does that cause body aches?

Brooklyn Jogger is changing...

Or you could say, expanding her repertoire beyond the field of fitness...

Look for me at

That's right. Blogspot no more.

Look out honey 'cause I'm using technology...

Back on the treadmill for the first time in a while.
Inspired by Peaches cover of Iggy Pop's Search and Destroy, I kicked it into high gear and ran 7.1! Totals: 3.1 miles in 43 minutes.

I feel pretty good right about now. I think the warm weather coupled with the smokin' soundtrack is inspiring a return to race...

On another note, I have been reading this book:


What is interesting about the book is how it focuses on the psychology of weight loss as opposed to the science. I had not really considered myself an emotional eater--But the "sabotaging" thoughts that Beck details as signals of an unhealthy relationship with food were dead on descriptions of my day to day food choices: It's been a rough day, I can eat this, Just one doesn't matter, Everybody else gets to eat it, why shouldn't I, etc.

The book is actually a 6 week program that has a task to accomplish every day, essentially helping you develop responses to your sabotaging thoughts.

Does anybody else have sabotaging thoughts about food or their body image?
