Boot Camp and Food for Thought :)

Hey All :)

I've been getting some amazing feedback from you all regarding this 12 week BeautyFit challenge, so I wanted to start by thanking you all for your amazing support and for taking time out of your day to send me words of encouragement!

That being said, I have also gotten some really funny comments and personal messages asking if I'm insane for "putting myself through this boot camp thing" LOL I don't take these comments as negative because a year ago, I would have said the same thing! :P

The idea of willingly and enthusiastically signing up for an unequivocal ass kicking really didn't make sense to me.

Now lets put this into perspective... doing intense hard core exercise to strengthen my body and mind is insane BUT doing intense hard core eating of any damn thing in front of me and zero physical activity to help to shorten my life span... thats acceptable! lol Yep... priorities a little mixed up!

Please don' t get me wrong people, I LOVE food!!! and always will (little known fact, I graduated with honors from culinary college.... ya, like I said, LOVE food and I know how to make it with lots of butter!!!).

So back to priorities... Sandra and Jimmy hit it home for me regarding food, they simply said... "it will always be there". WHAT?!?! That little sentence was like an epiphany where the heavens opened up and angels sang.....*aaaahhhhhhh* (true story people) lol

I assumed, in my fun little brain that if I didn't eat that wonderful looking thing in front of me.... it was gone FOREVER!!!!

So we've established that delicious food isn't going anywhere... and am I really enjoying it if I eat it ALL the time?!... hmmmmm.... dilemma!!!

So as all this great information began to "click" in my brain, it made sense to me that maybe I'll enjoy and appreciate the "little" things more if I really take the time to create some balance! (and isn't that just true for all important things in life? :)

Now to address my mental stability for doing these boot camps lol... I would have to say YES, I'm insane but I've got plenty of company and I'm LOVING it!!! To quote a song from P!NK... "if you are wrong, in all the right ways" hehehe

BeautyFit boot camp is unlike anything I have ever done before or even heard of before! It is something truly unique and life changing ...in my humble opinion lol

The idea that not that long ago 1 "burpee" would cause me to feel light headed and make my knees scream and just last night I nailed out 50 of them.... well that's just the best kind of insanity right there!!!

Then there's the support system... WOWZA! and it's not just Sam (Sandra) cheering you on, it's the whole class! You want to talk about diversity in women, we've got all shapes, sizes, ages and fitness levels BUT we're all there for a common goal of self improvement and in the process, we help each other immeasurably!

Call us crazy if you want but then run for it, cause there are lots of us and we're wicked fast now;)
