The Boot Camp Way!!!

I lost 4 lbs this week dropping to 256 lbs. That brings my total to 60.4 lbs.

Lets talk about Boot Camp. We finished our first week and are half way through week number two. You may ask, How is it going? Well, I lost four lbs if that is any indication. I also believe I am losing size faster than weight going to this class. Many of you may know that I signed up for "The Biggest Loser" here in Jonesboro last year and dropped out after 3 weeks. It was terrible. I was around 320 lbs and had to go at 4:45 in the morning. I did not know that 4:45 existed outside of deer season. I HATED IT!!

Now, I am 60 lbs lighter and it makes a difference on ones ability to be more active. If you want to feel the pain I went through, grab a bag of fertilizer at Lowe's the next time you go, throw it on your back, and then jump up and down and exercise for 45 minutes without a break. You won't make it three weeks either. (if so, congrats, you are more of a man than I am)

I have been able to last all the classes, the full 45 minutes, without stopping. It is very intense, but I actually am liking the class this time. It makes a difference that Becca is going with me. We go every night from 6:00-6:45. It is intense, if I haven't said that already. Did I mention it was intense. I have never done this many stomach crunches in my entire life, adding them all up. But we will keep going, because it is working. I mean it, it is really working. Last year, I did not have the determination to bare through the pain to make it through to where I am now. It is working, and I am losing weight. I am not only shrinking in size, I am getting in much better shape. I look forward to progressing in this class and getting more advanced with the moves and exercises. By the way, Boot Camp is running a half price six week class right now. I beleive that it last through the end of July. Don't miss out.

For those of you thinking that it is not possible to go do something like this, you could not be further from wrong. Don't get me wrong, there are some people in this class that don't weigh as much as this laptop I am typing on. But there are many in there that are fighting the same struggle that you may be. Everyone is giving the same effort. To the people in there that are out of shape and battling a weight loss crisis, I commend you. You are going for the prize. Keep it up. For those of you that are sitting at home thinking you should be doing something, look at me. I am not there yet, but I am progressing. Look at my friend like Debbie and Brad. Both are chipping away at their goal one day at a time. We are all waking up the next morning in better shape than we were 24 hours before. You can't go from being a couch potato to a marathon runner overnight. But you can get off the couch and make a difference in one night. Go for the prize. Don't stop and don't let anyone discourage you. Go For It!!!
