The end to the Bootcamp Test Group The beginning to a new LIFE!!!!

I'm so sad that the test group is ending but I'm super excited to start a new chapter in my life were I'm excircising on a regular basis eating healthy and just taking care of myself! Threw this whole experience I have learned to have more confidence in myself and believe that I can push myself to accomplish any goal that I may have for myself. Thank you Maia for being such a wonderful coach and teaching Keon that hour that I can be a better ME!! I enjoyed every mintue of being at bootcamp and sweating with everyone :) My next goal well my exit plan is to continue coming to bootcamp at least 3x a week because my major goal is to lose 15Lbs. GO BOOTCAMP TEST GROUP!!!!

Im back BABY!!!!!

Wow do I feel great!!!! I missed Bootcamp so much this week I felt horrible but luckily I started my Herbalife and continued doing ab workouts and of course my babies still kept me busy with reading stories and coloring!!
What I learned this week and what my husband helped me to realize was the it's not about the numbers starting bootcamp I lost weight then gained alittle :( but it's varied. He said to me " baby I'm so proud of you! You look great your attitude is more positive I've noticed you don't snack on junk food then go lie down you keep yourself busy and the most important thing is you are starting to feel comfortable in your own skin and that makes me happy"! After that I just wanted to cry :)

Observation:
I felt determined to go back to bootcamp even thou I wasn't ready which was a fail but I feel like I'm so ready to push myself to the point that if I do fail it's not a big deal because I tried and I gave it my all. Failure is not a fear that will take over what I want to accomplish anymore it's a new day baby and I'm ready!!

Goal:
My goal for my last week is to push 3x more and to at least lose 3-5lbs continue Herbalife and have fun on our last week!!!

Horrible weekend :(

My Friday started great my numbers where low in my class Teacher conferences were almost done and I was going to stay late to work on my big project for the kids I was making them a farm! I had also received a invite to Ashleys Zombie workout that I really wanted to go to and I was also getting some of my other coworkers to join in pretty good start to my Friday. Then later in the afternoon I was outside picking leaves for my project when I got stung by a bee that was stuck on my shoe :( well first it was just a lil sting then the next day it was a bit more swollen and by 10:15pm my ankle wAs twice it's size it was huge I was trying to stay off of it but I had so much to do on Saturday it was impossible so by 11:00 pm I had my lil sister take me to the hospital. Now I'm better my ankle is still swollen but I'm on meds to prevent infection and hopefully I will be better enough to go to bootcamp!!! What I did learn from
All of this was the simple fact that being at bootcamp and blogging facebooking has brought us all closer together we all have our reasons for being apart of this group but we are working on our goals together and being there for eAchother to lean on in time of need. Thank you to everyone who sent messages it really did make me feel like you cared and I really am part of the bootcamp family!!! Now all I want to do is get better to be at bootcamp tomorrow!!!

Ocean City MD!!! / observations

Wow this weekend was amazing had the most wonderful time in the OC this. My husband and I had decided that since we are a young married couple with three children that once a year we would treat ourselfs to a couples vacation. Last year I ate what I wanted didnt care about anything this year however I was prepping myself before I left I'm gonna go have fun but I'm going to be conscious of what I'm eAting it was almost as if I had a lil angel and a lil devil on each shoulder that looked like Maia :) hehe anywAys I had lots of fun in this vacation but it was also really hard and most of the time I was tempted to just eat junk and not care but this time I couldn't but I'm not gonna lie I did drink but not like I normally would in the three days that I was there I had 2 drinks!!!! And we went to plenty of bars while we were there and I sipped on lots of water! My husband and I also did alot of walking on our trip while we walked I put to work what i had learned from the walk clinic thank you Patricia came in handy on the boardwAlk!!! I felt Pretty proud in the chocies I made this weekend and when I made poor choices I was sure to walk or Jog it off later :)

Fail / goal

This weekend was crazy didn't workout at all :( on Friday made a light night stop in the emergency room with my daughter for a bump in the head my poor baby passed out lucky the doctor said she passed out due to shock from the head :( and Saturday and tOday I spent the day taking care of my 3 sick babies my husband and myself :( horrible weekend but I'm ready to make up for it this week at bootcamp so hopefully I pull myself together tonight and feel better by tomorrow :) goal for this week push hard in bootcamp!!!

Observations

My body is really starting to look the way it used to before I had my 3 babies!!! And that's so exciting for me because not so long ago before my mom introduced me to bootcamp I had given up and was settling for being unhappy with the way I looked because I felt like I had no power to make a change I was stuck mostly scared of failure I have started plenty of things and never finished anything I started :( But when this challenge came up I went to the miorrow looked at myself and said "no more I'm done being unhappy!" and I was so scared coming into this challenge scared of not being able to complete it or not seeing results I just kept thinking so negatively shame on me because I am doing my best my clothes are fitting me better my kids can even tell a difference in my attitude and it feels so great when my family and friend coworkers notice all my hard work and tell me I'm looking great. It's a new day for me and I'm loving this feeling!!!

Week 4 and week 5 goals and random thoughts lol

Week 4 was wonderful I finally was able to do 7 knee push ups!!! And I did 3 regular push ups! I was pretty excited my new goals for week 5 is to push threw the warm-up until break get better at controlling my breathing. Ready to start week 5 I'm alittle scared of measurement day it's hard to sometimes see that I might be doing great but it may not show in numbers like how do you deal with that without being disappointed with yourself or thinging you didn't do enough??? Measurement day so many mixed feelings :):( well again ready to start week 5 and thankful to be apart of this group!!!

Body!

well my body is defenitly changing on Saturday I tried on a pair of jeans that my husband bought me last year! Now ever since I had my first soon in 2007 I have been wearing stretch jeans!!! And my husband not knowing the diffrents bought me straight cut jeans with no stretch:( so they didn't fit and I was really upset, but on Saturday I tried them on and they FIT!!! I was so excited I actually cried not only did they fit but they are loose around my legs and waist awesome!!! I'm really excited about the changes I'm seeing in my body and the energy I have is great helps me keep up with work my family and bootcamp!!! I'm also noticing how much more positive thinking I have as always I just thought I couldn't do things but now I'm like sure let me give it a try and I feel that it's because Im starting to get more of a positive images of myself:) bootcamp is great the coaches are awesome and I'm thankful for all the supporters!!!

Goals ~ observatons ~ learned

My Extream goal is to lose 25lbs!! But my week 4 goal is to push myself more when I am doing a push-up (H.A.T.E) By week 2 I was able to do 5 push ups on my knees, for week 3 I really want to try and push it to at least 10. My next goal is to start looking into new recipes or ideas for healthy meals and add more friut into my diet. Last goal for this week is to drink more water threw out the day!!!
My observations for week 2 have been my clothes fit alot looser!! My family is really noticing the change in my body so it really helps and motivates me to push harder!!!
What I have learned is how to count calories!!! I think I'm getting obsessive but it helps me stay conscious of what I'm eating and how much I should be intaking I'm staying between 1200 to 1500 a day it also helps that I keep a food journal!!!
I'm exited about this new journey that I'm taking and very greatful to have such a huge suppory system everyone from family coworkers friends fellow bootcamp test group member coaches all of you are amazing!!! WEEK 3 IM READY FiST PUMP:) lol

My body

I feel so great and its so suprising to me!  When i'm at bootcamp I feel myself having to push more in order to get a good work out and that just does so much for me to be able to do that! And in these 2 weeks my arthrits has been doing so much better.  When i wake up in the morning theres no pain no STIFFNESS!!!!! and thats so amazing. I also feel that working out has brought my stress levels down when I'm at bootcamp im focused on myself not work, bills, ect AMAZING ;)
