Today was the orientation meeting for the boot camp I signed up for at the gym here on post. I was pleasantly surprised after we weighed in – I was positive I had gained around ten lbs., but I only gained two! I was also surprised at the group of women who signed up for the course. Going into it, I was pretty sure I would feel like the housemother for a large group of 18 year old Tri-Deltas. I am happy to report that there was a nice mix of people there – old, young, fat, skinny, and certainly not all preppy blond girls!
Anyhow, we start our workouts on Monday and they sound like they will be super intense! Woo! I managed to hurt my foot on my four mile run this past Tuesday and it still isn’t better. I’ve been working out hard core for years, and the FIRST time I injure myself is (of course) right before this intense boot camp program that I paid money to attend. I hope it heals this weekend!!!
Here is a recipe for my Nana’s chicken salad. I’ve made this several times, but it never tastes quite as good at hers. But then again, my Nana makes the BEST chicken salad I have ever eaten, so that is a pretty tough standard to match. I sometimes throw some Craisins in the mix if I have any on hand. They make a nice addition.
