It's almost the end of week 2.  I weighed myself this morning and I was down to 161.  I started at 164 so I don't really know if I'm losing weight too fast or if it's just the right amount.  So far I've learned that having some green tea before any workout really helps give me a little extra boost.  Bootcamp has completely changed the way I train by myself.  I used to stick to lifting weights with very little cardio, but I made little progress this way because I rarely pushed myself to exceed my limits.  Bootcamp pushes me every time, and I find that I'm applying that same intensity in the gym.  I would still like to lose 1 or 2 percent bodyfat by the end of 8 weeks.  It will be difficult but if I continue to keep carbs to a minimum and try to cut out sugar, it should happen.  I've been neglecting sleep, which is so important for recovery.  I'll do my best to get more and hopefully that will help.  Next week's goal is to drop another pound and run 3.5 miles on 3 days
