It's been a long wonderful weekend. I'm thinking about tomorrow. My first meeting with my boot camp staff. I keep thinking... WHAT in the WORLD are you thinking? ha- I like challenges and so this is one that I admit is really way outside my comfort zone. I will post all about it TOMORROW. Yes, in the morning, I will head to boot camp in my sweats and ready for the day 1 assessment. I am ready for the challenge and am going to give this my ALL.
