It’s been hot outside lately. Today was better (a little cooler). But, still it’s muggy. Can’t say it enough… drink that water!! I see logbooks that are shy of suggested water levels. At this point in the year, not only should those 8 boxes be checked… we should be seeing extra water intake. So, get on it, people!
Quick poll question: Does working out in hotter temperatures burn more fat? Does being hotter/sweating more when you’re working out, burn more fat? Post answers to comments.
July session starts July 5th. Are you in?
One of my goals this month was to stick to Paleo eating. It’s going well. Here‘s a blog post from our girl, Jules in ATL. It’s about Paleo and making the most of your efforts, but check out the first part of it on planning ahead. This is a great way to get yourself going and eating better… plan ahead and be ready.
Thursday’s Workout: “Four Square” – Stations of core, ab, leg and chest work.













Sure is lonely out here in blogland by myself
I’m in for July 5th… I may never actually get it together enough to accomplish my goals, but, as the universe is my witness, I will keep trying.
So this morning I was grumpy, grumpy, grumpy – according to Carter, 3 beers the night before and a lunch of M&Ms will do that to a person. When I woke up at 5:08am, I thought, NO NO NO, and my crafty little brain went through all possible scenarios for getting out of bootcamp… “I’m hungover”, “I have a long drive tonight”, “I’m sore”, “I can’t find my clothes in the dark”, and mostly, “I’m freakin’ TIRED!” But there’s a smart girl deep down and she said (with a lot of sass), “Lauren, you will feel better ALL day if you just go.” Plus, I got a note from the universe (yes, I did) that told me not to avoid responsibilities, challenges, and boredom because I will miss them when they’re gone. True. So I got up… and whaddya know? I feel better already
Yay bootcamp – you are worth it every time!
As for the trick questions about fat burning: I think working out in the heat doesn’t burn more fat… ? Will I get donuts if I’m right?
Good work, Lauren. Glad you made that commitment to bring it on down. And, Thanks to the Universe for dropping Lauren that note.
Need more than the Universe’s motivation? How ’bout Warhawk Matt Scott:

You’ll see this one posted again. It’s one of my favs.
I think you burn the same amount of fat regardless of temp., but what do I know?
