Bootcamp Day #1

I did it! I survived the first day of boot camp!

It was much better than I was expecting :)

 To be honest, I was really apprehensive about starting boot camp, 

as I said earlier, my fitness level is not what it used to be 

and I tend to over think everything; I was being a big scaredy cat.

Worried that I would be the slowest one,

Worried that I would be the weakest one,

Worried that I would be the whiniest one

(ok, I guess I have control over that one)

But it was great!

It was a good workout, the leader was super encouraging

and the other participants were also really friendly.

Yesterday was a mix of a little bit of everything.

We ran some laps, did a cardio circuit (high knees, jumping jacks, zigzags, pushups, repeat), 

squats, lunges, more push ups and some moves targeting shoulders, triceps, biceps and core 
(presses, curls and dips.. oh my!) 

Little. Bit. Of. Everything.

 The leader wants us to set a goal for the next month. Most girls said something like 
“to tone up” or “to not quit”, but I want something more substantial and SMART

I thought about saying "I want to lose ___ pounds",
but let's be honest here (and we can be honest, right??) 
 I'm gonna get super buff... like bench-pressing-a-rhino-while-yogging-uphill kinda buff

(Ashley, you with me on this? Let's find some rhinos...)

And we all know muscle weighs more than fat, 

so judging my progress purely on my gravitational pull isn't sufficient for me.
So I'm gonna go for a loss of __% body fat.
I have a number in my head, but don't want to say it aloud until I do a little more research.

  My bathroom scale is AMAZING and tracks everything, so it should be easy to judge.

Have you ever done a boot camp? 
Do you have any pre-summer-slash-bathing-suit workout plans?

What % body fat do you think is realistic to loose in 4 weeks? 

I tried to find sources online for a good "one month goal" but couldn't find much. 
I'd love to hear your opinion!
