We went to the Kemah Boardwalk today, and we actually had a very good time. Of course, we got there before the place opened, but we were able to get our tickets to the attractions and ride all of the rides that we wanted to before it got too crowded. Then we ate outside at Babin's (yummy). Then we went back out and rode a few things, but the crowds were just too much for us. Nothing like having to wait 30 minutes to ride for 2 minutes on a merry-go-round!
Tonight DH, DS1, and DD are going camping out in the backyard. I will update tomorrow on how the night goes!
So mom and I are doing Barry's Bootcamp Code Red for 6 days (we started on Monday, so we are half-way there). I figured we could do anything for 6 days, and so far, so good. Not only are we doing 36 minutes of interval training/strength training every day (alternating upper and lower body workouts), but we are also following Barry's very fancy diet plan (which never gets us over 1300 calories per day). At my lowest, I was down about four pounds, but have put two back on as of this morning. I think mom has gone down one or two.
Barry is kicking my butt, though. My legs are killing me. But I feel like this is helping me finally firm up (heaven knows I need it). I am not going to count on the workouts to help me lose weight; I think it's all about the amount and type of food you put in your mouth. I think that the workouts will build my stamina and tone up my muscles.
I will post our results.
