Bootcamp Countdown

Hurray!

This morning I hit the almost 42 lb loss mark since the first of February.

I know I haven't talked much about the Boot camp -

and there has been a reason for that.

I've had so many failed attempts at weight loss, I really wanted to feel that I had some success (and loose skin) under my belt before I talked about it.

Guess what?

I'm not really going to talk about it today either!

It's without question the best gift I've ever given myself.

Boot camp is over on June 29th.

I am in high gear right now - wanting to see an even 50lbs lost before it's said and done.

I will continue working with my Coach for years to come.

I have 8lbs to go.

I'm not sure that it will be enough to make me the 'winner' of Boot camp, but if I can say that I lost 50lbs in the last six months, in my own mind and heart - I will be a winner.

If you are the praying kind, pray.

Send a good vibe.

Light a candle.

Steam some broccoli.

Grill a chicken.

I'm going to put a little countdown on the sidebar so you can keep abreast of my progress, I'll update it daily...

.I'll tell you this today, before I end my drivel.

This is what I know for sure:

I feel fantastic.

I can't get seem to get enough cauliflower.

I adore it.

My breasts resemble hacky sacks.

There is no doubt that I have skeleton.

I have no clothes that fit me right - and look even more homeless than normal.

It's worth every drop of sweat.

It's worth every 'no thank you'.

It's way more than 'eat less and exercise more'.

It's about being excellent in spirit - and I feel it creeping in every area of my life.

It's about believing in yourself, controlling your thoughts and realizing that life is a limitless opportunity.

Am I 'fixed'?

Absolutely not.

It's hard...

but...

so is being fat.

Emotionally.

Mentally.

Physically.

It's painful, and it's stressful, and if you struggle with your weight, I think you would agree with me - you think about it almost constantly.

I think being fat hurts more than pushing weights around and doing cardio.

It was a cancer in my spirit.

If I get the gumption, I'll share with you a photo of me at 287lbs. my highest weight ever.

It was about 20 years ago.

Law.
