Original Bootcamp

...fucking whooped my ass.

So, I have been constantly complaining, over and over again about my weight. How fat I am etc. It's been getting on everyone's nerves. Especially mine. I was like telling myself, "stfu and do something about it." So I did. SO HA to ME! How you like me now huh huh huh?

Anyways, I jumped sorta blindly into something called Original Bootcamp. I knew it was a millitary style exercise regime. I seen the pictures, I read the stories, but my oh my, there is nothing like the experience to tell you WTF HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO???!!!!

I had my first class yesterday, on the 3rd of May 2010 and the first class was brutal for me. I didn't even complete the sets *ashamed*
We are to reach there before 5.45am. And the genius that I am, I did not sleep for that night. I always thought, oh you know, first class, think it should be easy. It wasn't.

We were explained the rules and paired into Alpha-Bravo. We warmed up etc. Ya know, standard stuff. And then it came the Benchmarks. Oh my God. It was the most gruelling thing I have ever done in my life
First we ran a lap on the field (200m) then run back top our partners to perform 3 umm form of exercises (look, I am a beginner, I shall find out the fancy names when I go on) 10 push ups, 10 grunts, 15 sit ups. But if you're assisted (by that I mean, your push ups are on your knees instead of toes and someone has to kneel on your toes for sit ups) it's 15 push ups, 10 grunts and 20 sit ups. After that insane ordeal, run 2 laps (200m x2) and repeat.
We repeated that 3 times. Well me, I DNF (did not finished) *ashamed* and I was the only one that DNF *super ashamed*
Once that was complete, and in less than 5 minutes, we had to run again. This regimen(or whatever), was timed. 8 laps around the field (200m x8). And yet again, I only completed 7 and my time was listed as DNF *epically ashamed* (again the only one)
Throughout my "run" (I was like walking, jogging, walking, running, walking) I was thinking to myself "I don't wanna do it anymore" but I continued, despite my aching legs, the cramp in my stomachs, the feeling of suffocation and the urge to throw up ( I did threw up a lil in my mouth eew)
I was covered in mud, as it rained the night before. And rain, hail or shine, we are expected to be there. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Before 5.45 am. There goes my night life.
The whole ordeal was to test our fitness level and to group us so that we can train with those who are at the same level. I just found out we would be grouped next into either Delta, Seal or Ranger. I think I'm gonna be a ranger, just because I sucked :P

In spite of it all, I honestly have no regrets joining it. I need this. The trainers, or should I say Sargent and Corporals were great! They motivated and pushed, and that's what I need :)
Though I am not looking forward to Wednesday's training. I think this week is gonna be hell for me.


It ain't easy but it works! HOOYAH!
