On June 15th, I will start taking H.I.M. Training class. I *think* that stands for High Intensity Metabolic Training. All I know is that it’s gonna kick my butt! The main reason I’m doing this class instead of the weekly bootcamp is that this class is on site at the Y and child care is provided.
I’m really going to miss bootcamp, though.
The class runs twice a week (Monday & Wednesday) for 6 weeks. I have a goal of dropping 10lbs during the course. I will have my eating en pointe–especially during that 6 weeks. I even made a pot of zero-point soup* and portioned it out for my lunches for the next two weeks. I’ll do my own workout on Fridays. Cardio on Tues, Thurs, Sat–in preparation for the 5k. That’s the plan.
*I didn’t follow this recipe as I don’t generally follow recipes. But this is a good start.

Just remember to stay away from Sugar and Alcohol for 24-48 hours after your metabolic work-outs….you’ll burn more fat!
Good luck!

cool, thanks for the tip, Mary! Do you have a blog, too?

No blog for me, just a reader. I have been going to a bootcamp 3 times a week since last summer and absolutely love it. I can run 10kms and do burpees and pushups. I have managed to loose about 20 lbs just cutting things like pop and chips out of my diet (most of the time
)
For me the journey has been about achieving a fitness level that I can maitain for years to come, not just to get to a smaller dress size. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to lose the weight as long your body is becoming healthy and strong and of course happy.
