Tonight was all around great.
After my chiropractic appointment, I had some dinner and then made my way to the park for bootcamp.
Salmon, kale, apricots!
Four sweaty girls came out and they got their money’s worth.
Warmup: mixture of jogging, lunging, shuffling, sprinting, etc.
Workout: as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes: 10 sprints/runs between cones, 10 squats, 10 push-ups, 10 burpees, 10 sit-ups
core challenge: extended plank, up/downs, forearm plank, R plank, forearm plank, L plank, forearm plank, up/downs, extended plank (40 on/20 off for each)
cooldown/stretch
I’m sure they loved me as much as I loved them 
! One superstar who used to come to my bootcamps at campus rec sighed and said “It feels so good when you’re done!” and then, “But I thought I was going to die during.” …sounds like my work is done! 
My goal is to kick their butts but to make it something they can do. I want them to feel tired after but also that high from working out, not demolished.
After bootcamp, I got my own sweaty on.
Pretty freaking cool, huh?
Not cool: I totally forgot to snap a picture of my yogurt mess which was tip top delicious last night. Coconut, almonds, and some chopped up chocolate thrown into a bowl of greek/vanilla yogurt = holy schmokes happy belly!
Tomorrow there’s another bootcamp on tap and then I’m hoping to get started on my trip prep and to pound out a draft of my article for Bankrate. The awesome thing is that when I was interviewing one of my sources, he ended up being a cyclist. Since this was for my financial writing, I really didn’t expect to have the conversation I did. When we got to talking, he gave me about 10 ideas for other stories to pitch. Amen for people who just want to see others succeed. And yay for being inspired to pitch some story ideas and to get back on a regular writing/freelancing train!
Before I go to bed, I’m going to sort out my bootcamp plans for the morning and organize those story ideas and then dive into my journal, I think! What a perfect ending to a great day…
How do you like to end your days?
Have you ever had a similar experience to mine after an adjustment? I’m so excited!
Love that you’re having success with the chiropractics!! I wouldn’t be without mine, well, more for the active release/graston combo, usually when he adjusts me it just means cracking my back….I guess if I made an appointment specifically for an adjustment and not for ART, he’d have more time to check out other imbalances? I’ve got to find someone good out in Colorado! And anyway, love that salmon-tastic salad!! I’m rather obsessed with leafy greenz and salmon too lately haha. Love ending my days with some relaxation time too, journaling, reading, and tea FTW!
Hmmm — look for someone that practices “vitalistic” chiropractic, I think.
And amen to that perfect way to end a day! 
I am loving how you are so getting into this boot camp. those girls must cherish you, I always need someone like you to motivate me to kick my own butt. it is a great way to build motivation and just have some fun with fitness. I wish I had something like that near me. Glad you had a great day and enjoy your tuesday!
They don’t cherish me during the workout but I’m sure they thank me later!
You’re way too kind!
