Fi & Me


Fi & Me
2012

What can I say?
This gal from down under has stolen my heart.
:-)

Big difference, eh?


Bootcamp is coming to a close again - and what I'm struck by the most - being on 'this side' of it as a Coach in Training - it's not the body difference - it's the difference I'm seeing in people's eyes.  It just chokes me up.  In all the before pictures, you just see this despair - this self degradation - and in the afters - it's this confidence - this light - sheer joy!
It's quite a gift to watch it.

She's videotaped practically the entire visit, and as soon as I can get ahold of them, I'll slap them up here.

Here's a teaser:


Gracious - we have been busy. 
You know - when you think you are going to pull off this awesome visit for someone and it all unravels after a few days of no sleep?
Ya.  That's what we've got going on.

I'm starving her half to death - so that when I do feed her - she thinks I'm an awesome cook.
I washed her sheets today and put them back on damp - so they still smell faintly of vinegar from the rinse cycle.  She should love that. 
It's the way we do things in America baby.

We've been camping, yard saling, we went and met the Coach for lunch.
That's all I can remember.
The rest of her time here is booked solid - but I honestly can't even tell you doing what -
that's how tired I am.

:-)
Aaron is working on a way to fit in her suitcase me thinks.
Till soon...

  8. Jayme - you look great....but I've always liked you, either way. You know that right?
    Now you two are having way too much fun. I was laughing and cannot wait to see the rest of your videos. And guess what? Well, I've only told one other person this, ever....but I've always fantasized (is that spelled right? doesn't look like it. hmmm) anyway, of being an Indian princess. I have. Magic Mike, Shades of Grey, and Jayme's Native American fantasy. It's all good!

    PS - Next time hang her sheets on the line.

  9. Beautiful place to go for a hike, you are having so much fun! We are melting here in Arkansas, 100's already so no hiking for us so far this summer. Even the lake is getting too warm, ruining my fun! How on earth does Glenco manage a word in edgewise with you two!!!

In fact we just went and watched the outdoor drama "Tecumseh" about the great indian warrior..and let me tell you...hot indians running around in loincloths with flowing black hair were everywhere!! Tecumseh was hot as well as all the warriors...if you look at my blog post from yesterday..I have a pic up of tecumseh and my son. Going to post others soon! We are going back again just so I can eyeball the men lol

  22. What ru on you funny woman? Making babies and stuffing them in papooses. Hilarious. Papooses are the babies I forget the name of their baby carriers. You got tongue tied thinking about all that wild Indian sic pack abs!

    OK now I have gone from just nervous to terror. I can only relate to the before you. Hiking dangerous trails would be the death of me. How about a short walk on falt ground with a walker just in case?

    argggghhhhhhhhhh
