Technically, today's the beginning of week 4 of Operation Boot Camp's month-long program. For homework, I do a walk/run on the treadmill and some stretching. I'm feeling very lazy. Not too exciting, I know. Tomorrow's going to be hard getting back into the groove of things, but I'm sure it'll be easier once I get going.

I completed my homework today by taking a two-hour hike at Sweetwater Park in Lithia Springs. It's really good to vary your workout routine, and this was definitely like no other. My fiancee and I have two dogs, one a lab/chow mix named Cairo and a lab/dachshund mix named Lucy. Cairo's 75 pounds and an excellent swimmer. But today we had a bit of a scare when he headed down an embankment to the river and slipped into a place he couldn't touch. Cairo only likes to be in the water where he can tou...

I've gotta let out a cheesy woo hoo right now. I've just wrapped up three whole weeks in boot camp, and I've just got one more to go before completing the month-long program at Operation Boot Camp in Grant Park.

As I was jogging alongside my best friend Kathy this morning on bring-a-friend day, I was trying to decide whether or not it was good to work out with friends. It gave me comfort to have her there, but it also gave me the comfortable feeling that I could slack off because ...

We were off from boot camp today, but that doesn't mean I haven't had to adhere to strict diet rules and doing my assigned homework exercises. I slept in three glorious extra hours this morning, so I'll be hitting the streets tonight for a jog. Lunch was hard as we went to a private media event at Eros, the new tapas restaurant taking over where Pie Bar failed. To stave off ravenous hunger (which leads to overeating) before I went, I downed a glass of water and ate grapes and carrots. It seemed ...
