Countdown continues:  Fit at 40!

135 days….but who is counting?

It’s been four weeks since I declared to the world that I was taking the Yunbootcamp challenge.  I completed three weeks of boot camp instead of four.  But, I am not conceding defeat.

I learned so much from Jason Yun.  I highly recommend his boot camps and his nutrition classes.  I love getting his e-mails and his friendly twitts questioning my choice of brownies at Qdoba on election day.

I am learning to be fit at 40!  First, I have learned to turn around my metabolism by eating five meals a day, each containing protein and carbs.  I watch calories and nutritional value.  It sounds hard, but it really isn’t when you learn a few things.  I am also taking vitamins again.  I truly believe this has kept me healthy during the flu season.  I drink a lot of tea from Tehku (great substitute for soda and is filled with antioxidants).  Still can’t get myself to drink the needed water (UUGH). 

Secondly, I learned some new moves from Jason’s bootcamp.  I would still be a camper, but driving to Hilliard three times a week just is too much.  Out of every approach I’ve tried at becoming fit, I love Jason’s the most.  Using your major muscle groups together in intervals just makes so much sense to me.  Again…read his blog about it…he explains it much better than I ever could.  We are considering a YMCA membership again.  There is an interval class at 5:00 am that I think is very challenging and would help me push myself.

Learning more about my metabolism and a new fitness approach are just a couple changes I have made in my Fit by 40 quest.  I have learned that it isn’t as hard as I thought it would be.   I am excited what can happen in a few short months left until I turn the big 4-0!
