I began my boot camp workout journey four weeks ago. My starting weight was 255.7 pounds. Today, I stepped on the scale and it read 245.0 pounds (on the dot!) - 10.7 pounds gone.
I can feel the muscles under the marshmallow. My clothes are fitting better. My posture has improved. I even wore a cute dress to work today, with no Spanks. Victory!
I know there will be days when my weight may go up. That there may be days when I feel motivation slipping or give in to temptation. I vow to make those days few and get right back on track. Mostly because this feeling of accomplishment is amazing and I wouldn't trade it for 10 red velvet cupcakes!
So what have I learned in these past few weeks? It's not just about the cardio and nutrition log. It's about taking time to take care of yourself - body and soul. It's amazing how bogged down we get with everyday life. How often do you take time for yourself? When was the last time you hit the elliptical or tried a yoga class? How about the last time you savored a meal? As a matter of fact, when was the last time you called your mother or had a heart-to-heart with your best friend? Taking time out in the day to recharge yourself is the key to a happier, healthier body - and I've got four weeks of research to back it up.
So off you go, do something nice for your body. You have my permission. Better yet - that's an order :)
