Day 16 and just wasn't feeling it today.  I'm concerned about the lack of progress in my abs and arms that I did additional muscle work to them.  My legs felt like lead and I barely made the 40 minutes of cardio...and I was beginning to like dance cardio, too.  There has been no significant movement on the scale and although I feel changes in my body, they are barely visible to my naked eye.  Hmm...maybe, I really need to be on Tracy's diet...

Day 13 and I almost didn't make my exercise session.  Just one minor interruption to my daily routine and it almost upsets everything.  Well,  I was in the middle of my muscle work exercises when my sister and her roomie came over.  We went out to dinner and decided on Japanese as it has healthier choices.   I behaved and ordered something health and relatively low cal.  What I really wanted though, was deep fried calamari.  Thankfully, they are both on a diet so we didn't order anything fried or overeat.  Got home around 8ish and as late as it was for exercise, I decided to go for it and finished where I left off because now I feel so heavily invested into this whole bootcamp thing after 13 agonizing days.  what have I gotten myself into?!!!
