Boot Camp "Commitment or Be Committed"

I must be tired!!! I began writing my blog and posted it after I finished the title. I experience my very first ever BOOT CAMP. I am officially not a boot camp virgin. I have Mr. Chris Bass to thank for that. I have to admit I was hesitant at first, in fact I didn't sleep well the night before. I was suppose to go last wednesday but due to torrential rainfalls it was cancelled. At the time I felt a sigh of relief, this was certainly an Act of God. I now know that boot camp will "rev up the weight loss."

The entire experience was a positive one. Chris was professional and I truly felt in good hands. I'll tell you a few things that put me at ease:

*Chris asked all the important questions about my health prior to going.

*He asked if I had any physical limitations. *He also wanted to know what my exercise program was presently, easy "I don't have one."

*Chris also wanted to know what my goals were. Were they attainable and were they practical.

*Chris made me aware of what the boot camp "Better Bodies in Training" would entail. He was straight forward and very forthcoming with all the details of what to expect.

I realize now that there are three keys things to success with a good boot camp: GOALS, ROUTINE and MOTIVATION. When you see an example like Chris who walks to walk, it's easy to get motivated. He's not the aggressive militant type, thank the Lord for that. He is more listen closely and I will teach you the way type. He never yelled yet he was heard. He didn't crack jokes yet the participants laughed at times. I think I had a good laugh at myself. There were times throughout the hour that I thought "it looked easier than it was."

I felt proud at the end of the session and a little shaky. I guess I should make this official and commit instead of being committed.

I COMMIT TO GOING 4 TIMES PER WEEK TO BOOT CAMP AND WATCHING WHAT I EAT. There you have it I said it, it's in black and white now and I am committed.

The last and final thing that I need is your support. I need vindication that I am doing the right thing. I need a pat on the back and words of encouragement.

Friends Make the World Go Round.
