When will I ever learn?

I'm not usually known for doing anything in a small way when it comes to exercise. I run marathons and cycle 160 miles on a fairly regular basis. Lately I've been somewhat bored with just running and cycling so I wanted to do something a bit different. Inspired by the results that Amber (a.k.a the Crazy Bloggin' Canuck) has achieved, I decided to try a fitness boot camp.

I did a little research and decided on this one... Houston Adventure Boot Camp They seem to be popular and have people come back for more sessions. This boot camp will last 4 weeks starting on June 2nd. I was pretty pumped about it until I looked over the registration form. The things they make you agree to are going to be difficult





No alcohol at all??? I don't intend to drink at all on the evenings before I have to go to the boot camp because I really don't enjoy being hungover, waking up at 4am and getting yelled at by the instructor when I can't move too fast.

No fried foods, sugar, or saturated fat??? I can probably do without the fried foods. I don't eat them often anyway. I'm ok with cutting down on sugar and saturated fats but to cut them out completely seems a little extreme! I have a sweet tooth and I do try not to eat much sugar but when I cut it out completely, I find that I end up having awful cravings. Limiting myself to smaller amounts seems to work better for me. Same with cheese which happens to be one of my major sources of saturated fats. I will cut back and I will eat lower fat cheese. However if you ask me to eliminate them, you will eventually find me hiding in a corner like a rat gnawing on a huge wedge of fully fat cheese. And don't even try to take it away from me... you might lose a hand!

So I signed up anyway knowing that these people are probably going to yell at me for my food choices. The point of this little story? Stay away from me between June 2nd through the 28th. I expect to be a BIIIIAAAATCH!
