Boot Camp.

We're boot camp tough!

Top of flag mountain- ROUGH hike! But it's one of those milestones that you can say, "I DID IT!"

I've been going to Boot Camp for just about 2.5 months consistently. I'd gone for a month before that but had a month off in between while we were vacationing. I go Monday thru Friday, with the exception of the days that Michael has a test, so he beats me out the door and I get to be the stay-in-bed parent. :-) But my alarm clock goes off at 5:20am, and I'm at class by 6am (otherwise we have to do 10 'burpee's' if we're late), and the class is a full hour. And she makes sure she squeezes every single minute out of that hour! But it has taught me a lot of valuable lessons about sticking with things, how to prove myself capable, etc. It's been a GREAT blessing to me, as well as a great teaching lesson for my kids to show them that exercise is an important thing to Mom. It's really rewarding to come home at 7am, and see everybody either still in bed, or just getting up knowing that I've already been up, exercised, and had an adventure. 

I can do hard things!
Really, this is just the pose Mr. G insisted that I did for the picture and said, "Mom! Say, 'I'm super tough!' "
