After using short poles (pipes?), sandbags, tires and all three, we carried backpacks today. My only regret was that I shouldve asked for the senior's (SEALS) weight. Not bragging, but the one I carried was doable. And doable, in this scenario, is not pushing the limits.

Lesson learned.

Im in love with bootcamp.

*Theres this chick, in my group (RANGERS) who ran fast. Im going to try and beat her next round. Good motivation.

I binged on cookies, cekodok and pisang goreng during my 4 pm coffee break. Regretted it a bit. But what the hell. It's one of those slip.

I feel OK.

FINALLY!

I took the challenge, from myself. Im proud I actually went and not backing out since two other friends cant make it. A former colleague was there to have her final session before she leaves to Australia. So that helped a lot. And yes, I am motivated just by seeing her do the thing.

DAY 1
It was good. I think my body is in a state of shock (up till now). Left the fitness field for few months already, so Im expecting aches all over the body later on. Anyway, we had the assessment thing going today, to measure the our capability (and time result will be used to place us under different groups). Im not big on running and I suffer shortness of breath after few minutes of jogging. But seeing the group work, it mentally forces me to just keep on going and thats the best part of working in a group. Compared to when Im in the gym, mostly alone, its easy for me to lose my motivation when I 'feel' that I cant do anymore... I am my own trainer so I rule my own workout.

We had to run two laps and do push ups, grunts and sit ups and repeat the whole thing thrice. I accidentally did four because thought we should take turns with our partners, instead of doing the whole in one go. But I did not regret the mistake that I made.

Good day, I can say. Cant wait for another session. Excited. Never felt this good for such a long time.

"Your training partner's name is pain. You start out trying to ignore him. Can't do it. You attempt to reason with him. No way. You try to strike a bargain. Hah. You plead. You say "Please stop, please go away. I promise never ever to do this again if you just leave me alone." But he won't. Pain only climbs off if you do. Then you're beaten. " - Scott Martin
