I made it through Flogging Molly last night without a drop to drink! Some beer landed on my back, but I didn't even take my shirt off to slurp it out from the threads. Be proud! It was especially difficult, due to the fact that after every song the band would crack open a draft can of Guinness and cheers the audience, making sure to embellish on how the taste was sweeter than life itself.
This morning I was happy with my decision not to drink. Boot camp at 5:30 AM, in heavy rain, 42 degrees.
What's worse, after the first 3 days of boot camp I assumed we wouldn't be working that much upper body, except for a bunch of push-ups when people are late or absent. So, yesterday I hit the gym and worked upper body like there was no tomorrow, and gave my poor legs a much deserved rest.
Today, guess what??!!! We're working upper body! Wow!
We did about 200 incline push-ups, and about the same in dips using park benches. And of course we had to hold ourselves in the down position as the instructors told us it didn't hurt (it did). My arms muscles failed several times and I ended up face first into a park bench. But it will be worth it (please, God, let it be worth it).
That wasn't all. Did I mention there is no resting? For a full hour. No, It's 50 push-ups, or sit ups, or lunges, or whatever, then sprint back and forth. Then something else, then sprint again. Then something else, and then jumping as high as we can for a minute. Then another minute. Then eat some mud and like it, but don't stop moving. You can puke while you run. I'm going to love these results. (Please God, let me see results!)
