Last Week :(

B – I’m definitely feeling stronger and more toned.  I like it :)

L – As long as I set my mind to it, I can do it!

O – I’m happy working out 5 days a week and eating healthy.  But it doesn’t end with bootcamp.  This is my new life style!

G – I will continue my workouts and continue to eat healthy seven days a week. 

S – I will not fall off the band wagon.

Week #7

B - Measurement day wasn’t what I expected.  I think we need a new the scale, the one we have must be broken lol However, i must admit my body is starting to feel more toned. 

L – Working out and eating well is definitely essential.  I have been doing both and very little change, weight wise, is taking place.  I would probably be 20 lbs heavier if I weren’t working out 2 times a day and eating healthy seven days a week.

O – Everyone is still remaining strong in bettering themselves and keeping a healthy lifestyle.  

G – Eating healthy seven days a week took a toll for me this weekend.  Not only was I craving a burger and fries one day, but I also didn’t eat enough calories on another.  Not good. 

S – This weekend I tried my best to eat 1300 calories, but it took a lot of effort.  I will do a better job of getting enough calories in my diet this weekend.

Week #6

B - Pain.  So it started on Tuesday with my right foot.  Followed by my left knee on Wednesday.  I was still able to push through in class, but I think it's time for new shoes.
 
L - It is important to feed your body.  Not just feed it the right thing, but also feed it enough.

O - Instead of figuring out which party or lounge my friends and I are hitting up, now all we talk about is our workout routine for the week/weekend.  It's definitely a nice change.

G - Increasing my calorie count hasn't been that painful.  Hopefully, I will have better results this week.

S - Continue to eat 1300 calories daily and eat healthy seven days a week.

Week #5

B – This was a better week.  My body feels stronger.  I feel like my push-ups are getting better.  Also, time flies now at boot camp :)

L – I learned this week from measurement day that a low calorie diet isn’t always the best route to lose weight.  
O – I’m still holding strong during this challenge.  I like to switch up my workouts so I don’t get bored; however, we always switch up the routine in boot camp.

G - I have been very good about eating seven days a week.  My new action is to increase my calorie intake.  Even though I will be eating more calories, I will make sure that they are good calories.

S – My goal will continue to eat healthy seven days a week.  However, I will also eat a minimum of 1300 calories instead of 1100 as I was previously doing.

Week #4

B – This was another tough week for me.  However, even though I wasn’t completely focused I still pushed myself.  I wouldn’t let myself give up during class.

L - Part of my action plan was to eliminate alcohol completely from my diet.  I thought that would be impossible to do, BUT this is my fourth sober weekend :D  Nothing is impossible!

O – This Saturday I ate an early breakfast and skipped lunch due to a volunteer function I participated in.  I was starving by the time it was over and had every greasy food in mind.  I was willing to eat everything and anything.  However, I managed to stay away from fast food and ended up going to Bertucci’s.  I ended up ordering a salad instead of a pizza and had a bread roll while I waited for my food to come out :)
G – There are times when I want to fall off the eating healthy band wagon, but now I take a step back to think about it. 

S – Eating healthy seven days a week will continue to be my goal.

Week #3

B - This week has been tough.  I have been feeling tired and exhausted.  Not sure exactly what it is due to.  I blame it on the weather lol
  
L - Even though I have been feeling womp this week, I still gave 100% during class.  Once class starts it's like a switch turns on.  

O - This weekend my friends and I got together to work out and talk about our journey to a healthy lifestyle.  The support we give each other is awesome.

G - I give myself a pat in the back this week.  I ate healthy this whole week despite being in training in an off site facility.  I was surrounded by fast food restaurants, bakeries, and food trucks.  Temptation was surrounding me, but I never gave in :)

S - Eating healthy seven days a week will continue to be my goal.

Week #2

B - I feel great, emotionally and physically.  I use to workout 3-4 days a week and now I am working out 5 days a week without any hesitation.  "Working out" is starting to become a habit. 

L - I've learned that it is possible to eat healthy 7 days a week.  I use to have cheat days, Fridays and Saturdays, and now I have learned how to only have one cheat meal a week. 

O - Working out and eating healthy is contagious.  My friends, outside of bootcamp, are also on some sort of plan to improve their health :) I <3 it that my girls are on this journey with me.  S/O to Cecy and Jackie!!!  ::woop woop::

G - My goal is to be at a healthy weight.  I'm will continue to eat healthy seven days a week instead of only five days a week and I will also continue to give 110% at bootcamp. 

S - Next week I will begin to incorporate strength training to my workout outside of bootcamp.  I will start out with one day a week and build from there.
