Ok folks we're on day 2 of our boot camp yesterday went well. Like I've said before we're not doing the boot camp by the book. I actually bought the book last year and we used some of it but adapted most of it to fit our goals and...so far so good.
Here's how we set ours up:
We're doing our for 4 days Saturday is last day
Still keeping our regular, daily schedules
3 sessions daily each with a purpose or theme
Homework assignments are done separately except the last one will be done together on Saturday
Ex. of homework: He decided that throughout the day today he wanted me to feel loved and beautiful so he wanted to send me 10 texts throughout the day about what he loves about me. :-)
I thought this was a better idea than him just writing them down too. I've already received 2 and I'm feeling very loved right now.
Areas of focus are my time management while at the house, my exercising and his comfort level with effectively incorporating this lifestyle (ie, privacy, effective use of other methods). The time management and exercise were my requests and where I want to improve.
We didn't have a date night before we started, we decided to wait until we are finished. It's a pretty laidback week, not typical boot camp, but I think we're accomplishing what we set out to do.
I've got plenty to do to day so I better run. Hope you're all having a wonderful week.
Hugs,
Sass
Sounds like a great way to connect with each other Sass...enjoy
ReplyDeleteThanks, Willie. Seems to be going well. If nothing else at least we can say we tried boot camp. :-)
DeleteHello, I just found your blog today & went back and read through all of your prior posts. A lot of them sound very similar to my own experiences & my husband and I have been considering a boot camp for awhile now but haven't because we haven't been able to come up with a period if time that we could be alone without the kids-maybe your idea of doing one within your regular life would work for us too! I am going to show this post to my husband-I wish you luck with your boot camp & look forward to reading about how you feel it worked for the two of you!

Hi Scarlet, so glad you stopped by... we thought about it last year but he said no and i'm so glad we waited I think it would have been horrible for the both of us at that time. Anyways, feel free to email me Scarlet if you want more info. Hope you can find a balance that works for you both.

Sass,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your hubby is really ready for this and that you two are both so much more like-minded this time. I'm so happy for you both. Hope the rest of the week continues strong. :)
hugs,
Cali
Thanks, Cali. It truly does feel like we're both on the same page now. Funny thing, I questioned him about it the night before and we kind of had a little tiff, I misunderstood something he said about the "night before" discussion, after it was settled we were getting ready to go to bed and he found that loopy thingy. ouch. apparently he is very serious about it now. ;-)
DeleteI love that he chose to focus on making you feel loved and beautiful today. You've got yourself a keeper there Miss Sassafrass.
ReplyDeleteHi, Dana. He's definitely a keeper. The texts have been great today, really a blessing to read each one, some of them I would have never even thought went through his head. :-)
DeleteI'm so glad it is going well. I love how you have adapted it to work for you and especially love that his focus for the day was to make you feel loved and beautiful :)

Thanks, Roz. It was so nice to get those texts. We're still adapting this boot camp and we're on day 3,:-) I guess that is the point though for us.
DeleteI like your approach Sass...seems very sane. Love the little texts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susie. I don't know if it's sane or not but it seems to be working for us, so far. :-) I loved them too. He's a sweetie.
