Hello again BlogWorld,
This is Robyn... signing in to tell you that this week of boot camp has been brutal. Running up steep hills has left my chest heaving with cold and soreness. It has left my lungs wheezing as they expand and adjust. My hunger has shot through the roof. I am turning into a melting popsicle at work because I do not always have the opportunity to feed myself because I am so busy making sure others have what they need. My body is going through something that it has never experienced before. It is being challenged in ways that scare me and exhilarate me. I am going to thrive and grow and cry and wheeze and become something new. I have two more weeks and I am praying that I have the strength to survive it.
So, people out there, will I live? will I survive?
Pray for me...
P.S. This week has had its share of ups and downs but nothing compares to the devastation of those in Haiti. My prayers are with them and for those still lost....hold on. Someone is coming for you.

Grocery Shopping and some other stuff
Hello All,
Today is a new day!! Amen! This week is going to be a fantastic week. I just FEEL it!! I went to my first boot camp class today! I did this boot camp late 2008 and I decided to come back and challenge myself. I feel like a switch has been flipped and that I am ready to go FAR on my fitness journey. I know it will be a difficult but I am ready to feel the burn!!
I went grocery shopping last night and I felt extremely empowered. It is getting up and cooking the food that is the true challenge. After coming home from working at a restaurant it is so much easier to just bring a pizza or pasta home that will feed my boyfriend and I. However, I have learned that this will no longer work for me. First of all, I have a boyfriend that can eat ANYTHING and still look amazing. I tried to keep up with him and I gained about 20 pounds over the past year. So, I understand now that I have to take it one day at a time.
And, ladies and gentleman, I will be signing up for my first marathon by the end of the month. The marathon will happen in June and I am really hoping that I will do well. I plan on doing a walk/run. 26.2 miles is no joke!! However, anything is possible if you put your mind to it and really focus.
Anyhoo, I have to be off to work so enjoy your day and embrace life because it is something wonderful. Smile with joy in your heart and be the best you can be.
Signing off,
Robyn
P.S. Wish me luck on an audition I have tonight...
