One goal down, two to go.


 So This happened! I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice. I am so excited to tell you that I have also been accepted into Arizona State University and have begun my Masters Degree. It is a lot of hard work, but I know it will be totally worth it in the end.

Now I must tell you that I have not accomplished the other part of that goal. I have even gained a lot of that weight back. Depression, anxiety, illnesses, surgeries, they all hit hard for a couple of years and even though those are not the best excuses, they are what I have had to deal with.

Now I am not going to let that keep me from accomplishing my goals. I have finally gotten out of most of those issues and I am working on the ones that I haven't. I am ready to begin again and do what it takes to get to my weight loss goals. I have every intention of becoming a better person as I do so. I can't afford to do Boot Camp anymore, so I have looked for other outlets. I have decided to join the ranks of the HOT MESS online workouts. I have chosen this route because I have a cousin who has done it and is loving it. Her life has changed so much because of it. I have loved watching her transform into something amazing.

So here I go. I have decided to have my cry over the past and I have grieved. I am ready to wash my face, trust God and Embrace the life I have. I can do this. I am worth it. I am Amazing!




Have A beautiful day

Changes

It has been way too long since my last post. I have not lost a lot of weight, but I have continued to lose inches. I began my journey at Boot camp in July wearing a size 28 dress. Tonight I put on a size 22 dress and it fit. I was so excited. It was comfortable and I actually liked the way I looked in it. It makes me feel good when I put something smaller on and it fits. I also tried on some other clothes and I can now wear some tops in a size large. It is a fantastic feeling. My form fitting pants are still big because of my hips. I know that they will start to disappear eventually, but they seem to be the last things to hang on. Everything else keeps getting smaller. Anyway, it has been a journey for sure. As of December 31, I am no longer going to BootCamp. I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to begin my journey there. It helped me get a really good start to my weight loss and I have gained a greater love of myself. Jesse helped me a lot and I love him for that. I wish I could keep going. It was just getting too expensive to keep traveling that far. I have my gym membership and my wonderful trainer friends that are going to continue to help me out. Katrina helped me a ton and I added her to my life about 3 months after starting boot camp. She taught me some great workouts I could do at home to help me out when I was at a standstill on my weight loss. Then I met Suzy. She has been such a great help with my injuries, she has taught me how to do some of the exercises in ways that would not bother them. I also have my wonderful TOPS friends. TOPS is a fantastic program. The name stands for this "Taking Off Pounds Sensibly". It is a support group and a place that you can be recognized for losing weight. If anyone is ever interested in hearing more, I will gladly tell you about it. The people I have in my chapter are amazing and loving and such incredible people. They all struggle with the same struggles and they are there to help cheer you on as you try to reach your goals. I love them! Many of my friends, neighbors, and family members were so supportive and you still are. It is wonderful to have such a wonderful support system. I couldn't have done any of this without all of you. I greatly appreciate your love and support. My goals this year are to continue to do well and I know that as long as I am eating the right things, it will work. Now to just start eating the right things! I haven't been very good lately. I haven't gained any weight, but I have been stuck in the same place for a very long time. So it is, I will be eating healthy. I love you all and I apologize for the long and drawn out update. I promise to blog more. Love, Me!

Bootcamp rocks

Have I told you that I love Bootcamp?? I love my Bootcamp family and I love the support we all show for each other, even when we are dying and can barely move, we still cheer each other on and encourage each other to keep going. It makes me happy!

Today was good. Loved the workout at Bootcamp and I also went to the gym with my friend Sheryl. It was tons of fun. Katrina gave us a good workout and we had a good time. 

So tired, so sore. Glad that tomorrow I only have one workout. My back is kind of hurting. It is in a place that is hard to stretch. Maybe I need to put a heat pad or something on it. I don't know. I do know that ibuprofen is on the diet today!! 

I have been doing really good in regards to eating healthy. I have stayed away from the cookies and candy and have eaten so much healthier. I refuse to give up my hot chocolate. It's gettin cold!!! 

My weight has started coming down again (I know, surprise!!) or not....it's all about the eating!!! 

So that is today's post. Hope you all have a fabulous evening. :)

Gonna feel it in the morning

Today is endurance leg day. I endured it. Twice. 

Killer workout and if I wasn't a glutton for punishment, I would have walked out the door before the 9amers showed up.......ahem.....well one of them anyway. Alas I stayed and did the workout with the pt that showed up. 

Sitting in class tonight was fine, until I had to move. Then I didn't like it so much. 

I LOVE BOOTCAMP!!!!!


Here is the most recent picture of me. Hope you are all well. Thanks for all the great support!!

Veterans Day

To the men and women who have willingly put their lives on the line to protect my freedom and this great country, I say to you 


I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many good friends and family who have willingly served this country. I would feel very ungrateful if I didn't say Thank you. 

Today was good. I felt good and my knee held up pretty well. I was able to run at a 5.0 today. I'm hoping this is the beginning of better knee days. My shoulder was having trouble, but is survived. Pretty sure there is a storm coming in. It tends to act up when that happens. I've been trying to do better with my eating again. I got a little lax and allowed myself to eat things that are not necessarily bad, but also not on the diet. I have maintained my weight but not lost. The inches are still coming off though!! 

Tomorrow is a new day. :) I am so thankful for  the people in my life who have helped me to change. Thank you all for the support!!

Fourth and accountability <---yes I did just make a football joke


I start my forth session tomorrow. Fourth!! When I began my journey, I had no intentions of staying with it this long. My measurements keep going down and I am having to buy new clothes just to keep them on my body. I have been blessed with several gifts that have helped me to get some clothes that fit. I have some very awesome friends and family. 

I bought a couple nice shirts this weekend thanks to a gift from a friend.  Both shirts were the most expensive clothing items I have ever bought in my life. I bought them from the regular women's section, not the "big" section. I love them. 

I feel different. I feel happier, healthier, and stronger. Bootcamp has made a huge difference in my life. It has changed my life for the better. I know that without Bootcamp, I never would have done it or still be doing it. Yes the song from WICKED "For Good" is going through my head. (My life is a song)

I have recently been going to a trainer to use up some training sessions I have been paying for at my old gym. I have stuck with her for several weeks and I know that has helped as well. She is awesome!!

 I have lost 23 inches around my stomach now. When I think about how big that is, it is crazy. Seriously that is one inch short of 2 feet!! I was watching a video of one of my voice recitals and I couldn't believe how big I was!!! Insanity!!!  Maybe I will post it for you to see. Just don't judge me for my vocal skills.

I am truly looking forward to starting this new session and kicking it into gear!! I'm going to start blogging every day again to keep myself accountable. Instructor Thomas, I give you permission to drop me if I don't stay accountable.

Thanks for being such awesome supportive people. You are all the best ever!!!

Two Weeks! Oops!

Well, I just realized that I didn't blog last week. Shameful. I should drop for that. Maybe later.

I hope you are all doing well. I am excited to tell you all about the last few days.

Today was the last day of my 16th week. 16 weeks! And I haven't missed a Friday, yet! I am doing really well, with the exception of my knee being hurt. I go to the doctor in two weeks. If I can just nurse it along until then, I will be good. Some days are worse than others with it. Take today for example. I had to improvise a lot today. Yesterday, hardly at all. So day by day I figure things out and change things up to do them and still keep going.

Yesterday and one other day a few weeks ago, I had the wonderful (Cough, cough) opportunity to train by myself at bootcamp. I was the only one to show up, Again. It was a hard workout too! He really kicked my behind yesterday. I was sore by the time I got home! I felt it today too. Crazy hard workout. So all you awesome PT's that are supposed to be coming to boot camp, You all missed out! You should all be jealous! OH, and Get your behinds back to UTAH! I need you! :) Missed you all yesterday, if you couldn't tell.

I absolutely love Boot camp! It makes me happy. Seriously! I still hate getting out of bed every morning, I still hate driving all the way to Murray every day, but I am happy to be doing it. My life has changed a lot. I used to get out of breath walking up the stairs to my condo every day. Now I can walk up and feel fine. Half the time I race my kids up the stairs now. It is fun. Another thing, I RUN with my kids! I do! It is fun to run with them and not be walking behind them. I can do more things that I would have never dared do before. I sleep better, I feel better, I am not sick as much as I used to be. I often get the urge to go walking or running now. These things have so changed my life.

I have run 3...count them 1- Electric Run, 2- Color me Rad, and 3-Autumn Rush, 5k's. That is correct. I have run 3. Crazy! I don't even think I could have Walked one before I did boot camp. I keep seeing 5k races being posted on facebook and I wonder when I will be crazy enough to do another. My kids like the 5k's too. Every time I sign up for one they ask if they can come too. They love that I can do more with them than I used to.

I don't spend as much time sitting around as I used to either. I can't stand to sit for very long....school is about killing me in that regard. I do love school though. I am learning a ton and moving along quickly.

Anyway, What I am getting at is this: I FEEL AWESOME!

I can see the difference in my body, I can tell when things fit better, I can feel the difference, and I know you have all been able to see the difference too. I don't know if you can tell if my energy is different or not, but I can tell it is.

I couldn't have done any of this without all of you. I have been so blessed to have so many people watching me change. It has been nice to have people to be accountable to. I haven't lost a lot this go around, but I am losing inches and gaining muscle. I hope to keep hearing feedback from all of you.

If you ever feel like you can't do it. Please know that you can! I did! If I can do it, ANYONE CAN!!

Plateau frustrations

Holy cow, I have been frustrated with this stupid weight loss plateau. Today I got measured at the gym. I have lost 3 1/4 more inches around my waist, and  an inch around my arms. 2 inches around my thigh and .2 inches around my calf. That was in a month.

In just two weeks (because I had this stuff measured on 9/27/2013), my body fat % went down from 46.8 to 45.6. My Lean body mass % went from 53.2 to 54.4. My Fat mass went from 132.4 pounds to 128.5 pounds. My lean body mass went from 150.55 pounds to 153.4 pounds. That is right folks, I gained 3 pounds of Muscle in two weeks. Crazy eh?? I feel a little better, but seriously, it is still frustrating when the scale doesn't move, right??

Well this week was hard! Monday was a killer workout and I'm pretty sure by Thursday everyone was burned out and that is why I found myself as the only one to show up! Made for a great workout. I got a one on one session with instructor Thomas. It was so hard! It seriously kicked my butt. I hope he knows how much I love that he cares enough to kick my butt. I haven't done a workout that hard in a long time.

I went to bootcamp this morning. SOOOOOO COLD!!! The grass was all frosty and it was hard to not slip and fall on the hill. It was good though, instructor Thomas spiced things up and changed the workout this week. It was fun. I enjoyed it a lot more. It was still hard with this stupid knee injury, but I survived it.

I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging as much. School work is taking all my reading time and my blogging seems to take a back seat. I promise to at least write once or twice a week though. I will not leave this blog and let it get lost in the internet world.

I hope you all know how wonderful I think you are. You are all so amazing and I just love you all! Thanks so much for the continuing support!

Avoidance

Admission. I have been avoiding blogging.

There I said it. I just was not into it this week. SO, I am back now. :)

HUMP DAY!!
Today is Wednesday! YAY! I have been using the new rowing machine at Bootcamp. I honestly really like it. my back doesn't though. It is super sore, but I know as I keep using it, my back will get stronger and it won't hurt anymore. I love trying to get 4 miles in on it. It takes me about an hour to reach 4 miles, but if I push myself I can get pretty far, pretty quickly. It was funny when Instructor Thomas tried to increase the difficulty and it was already as far up as it could go. He just stuck his tongue out at me....it was funny. The workout was really good today. We got a little messed up, but we figured it all out, it wasn't a big deal....it was actually pretty funny.

Anyway, yesterday was competition leg day. Talk about killer work out!! Holy cow, it was so much fun too. I love competition leg days. It is always fun to see how much more you can do than the last time. I am pretty sure I was able to do a whole lot more than I used to be able to do. OF COURSE, the last competition leg day was during my 3rd or 4th week and it was against Charlie company. I KNOW I did better than I did then. :)

Monday was chest day. I noticed that there was a new bench at the chest press and asked instructor Thomas about it. He told me I was observant. Ha.

I injured my knee, but after massaging it today, I think it is getting a little better, it is not quite as bad as it was yesterday and this morning. I am hoping it is just a little bit of inflammation and I will be able to get back to my normal working out self soon.

Well I hope you are all well. I have greatly appreciated the support of those who watch my daughter in the morning and take her to the bus stop so I can keep going. I am so thankful to all of your kind words and all the wonderful support you have all given me. I could not have done this without all of you! You have greatly increased my chances of succeeding in my journey and I can not express my gratitude enough.

Hope you all have a wonderful day. :)

Strip Day, Friday, 5k

Yep I totally rhyme. I am a poet, read the title!

First things first, I experienced my first Strip day. Let me just say this. HOLY CRAP! It was hard. I loved every second of it, well except the part that hurt. Which was everything. I am still so sore. I am pretty sure that the soreness from this is worse than the soreness of wearing the vest for a week. INSANE. Will I show up for it again? You bet! It is nice to finally feel my muscles again. :)

This morning was bootcamp at the park, just like every Friday. There were no new PT's so we all did a really hard workout. Okay, it might not have been hard for everyone, but for me, it was. I didn't stop though, I pushed through and I kept going and I made it. It was a fun workout. It was nice to do something different.

Tomorrow I am running the COLOR ME RAD race in Orem. I am excited. I picked up my shirt and stuff today. It will be tons of fun. My mom and my friend are running with me. We are team RUNNING ON EMPTY. My husband was supposed to bring the kids, but he ended up having to work tomorrow and so the kids are going to bring their scooters and "RUN" with me. It will be good for them. :) No worries, I got permission and filled out waivers for them.


On another note, today marks the end of my 12th week 12!!!Can you believe it?? It is super crazy that it has gone by that fast. I can't wait to start week 13 on Monday. Thank you Jesse for putting up with me for so long! I love my Bootcamp Family! 

So this has been a crazy week but I have had a fun time. I'm sore. It is a good sore. :) Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

What Day IS IT???




Today is what day???

That's right it is HUMP DAY!




So this week has been a tough one, but it is half way through. I can make it!

I am running a second 5k on Saturday and I am getting excited about it. :) It will be fun. Rain or shine! IT is the Color me Rad race in Orem at UVU. I think this time will be easier and harder. I know how long 5k's is now and I am prepared for that, however I know that UVU campus is very HILLY. On the bright side, I get to do it with people I love. My mom is coming and doing it and my friend Kelli is doing it as well.

Today was my daughters 6th birthday. I threw a party for her and her friends. They had a lot of fun. I am so lucky to have her. I am glad I am taking steps to be around longer for my kids. It is the best decision I have made. I run with them more now than I did before, they love to race and I sometimes egg it on.

They are looking forward to going to Lagoon next year. I know that may seem like a silly goal to you, but I promised them I would be healthy and skinny enough to go with them next year. That is how I am getting them to support me! It works! Now when I am tempted they tell me that they will be sad if they can't go to Lagoon. Good motivation for me!

So things are hard, but I know I will figure out what I am doing wrong and I will feel better about it when I can fix it. I was pretty frustrated this morning, as I am sure Instructor Thomas could tell, but I am better this afternoon.

Well I hope you all have a happy HUMP day! Enjoy your evening and I am off to help make a birthday dinner. Only my children would choose, brown rice, grilled chicken and carrots for their birthday! Gotta love them  :D

It's Been a while




Well, as you can see, it has been a while since I last posted. Sorry for the lengthy break of time.

I have been doing well. I am loving bootcamp, today was probably the hardest day I have had in a while. I am not doing well on the weight loss. I am doing my best to eat the way I have been, I am just stuck. I know that instructor Thomas wants 3 pounds a week, but it isn't happening. I am still losing, I can tell in my clothes and in the way I feel that I am doing better. I am trying not to be too frustrated. I feel like I am working out ALL. OF. THE. TIME. anymore. Is it possible to exercise too much?? Maybe I am not eating enough. I just don't know. I have been drinking my water. Maybe I need to increase my water intake. I just don't know. I don't!

All in all, I feel so much better, I know that my inches are still getting better. I just hope this Plateau is going to go away soon.

So this is the 12th week of boot camp. I have lost 41 pounds so far and a lot of inches. I feel like a different person. I have a bit more confidence, although I would love to have more. I don't feel depressed as much as I used to. I do have my days, sometimes weeks. Anyway it is all good.

I ran a 5k on Friday. The Electric Run. It was super fun and super hard. I pushed myself harder than I have ever done and it was worth it. The feeling of accomplishment was well worth the work. I will be running the COLOR ME RAD race this coming Saturday. Wish me luck!!!

Hope you all are doing well. Here is a little video for you to enjoy.

41 pounds and counting!!!

Well well, if today isn't just amazing! I hit 41 pounds lost today!! It has been tough, but dang!!! 40 pounds!!! That is beyond amazing to me. I honestly didn't believe I would ever lose this much this quickly. 

There was one person who did though. That was Jesse Thomas. He believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. I am so glad I reconnected with him when I did. He has helped change my life for the better. Seriously, I had no confidence and really low self esteem. I didn't believe I could ever lose weight and I had resigned myself to being overweight for the rest of my life. He changed that. He helped me see that I can be confident and have good self esteem and I can lose weight and feel better. I still have a long way to go, but I'm getting there. Working hard and eating healthy and having a good support system is what is working. 

You have all been so great and helpful. I love seeing the comments of encouraging words and seeing that you are being inspired to get out there and do the same. It does my heart good to hear someone say that they are trying to be healthier just because they read my blog, or saw my picture on Facebook. It truly helps me keep going. So thank you all!

Here it is, my transformation picture so far. I started week 11 today (missed yesterday because the kids were really sick). Here is to 40 more pounds!!! Wish me luck!!!


Friday, September 13, 2013

Happy Friday!

Well clearly you can see that I missed yesterdays post. Sorry about that. Yesterdays workout was a killer one. I asked if I could wear the vest and he told me no. I know I am a glutton for punishment, you don't have to tell me. Anyway, I am really glad he told me no. It was a tough tough tough workout.

Today was pretty good, with the exception of the run around the park, I did really well. It was killer though. It rained most of the workout. It sure felt good on my face while we were laying at the top of the hill though. I love going on Fridays, it is a fun challenge.

I have been paying for a trainer at Golds Gym because I am on a contract with them, so I decided to use my sessions I had built up. I have been going every week for the last 3 weeks and I have been getting my butt kicked by Katrina. She is great. She called me a Kick Ass today after the workout. I just laughed. She is so good though. She loves instructor Thomas because she bought her Precor treadmill from him.

Anyway, my child has been sick for the last two days. I suppose I should go take care of her and make sure she is ok.

Here is a picture of me at my highest weight ever. 367 pounds. Crazy to think. I have a hard time thinking about it sometimes. I hope I never get there again. I am starting to feel so much better and I have more confidence and I just overall feel great. I know I will continue to feel better. Enjoy, and remember if I can do it, ANYONE can!!!

9/11/2001

Today is Wednesday (Hump day, Yeah). Workout was tough, but good. My mom left me a really nice surprise at bootcamp. It was a brand new pair of shoes (which I desperately needed) accompanied by new socks, a new water bottle, shoe inserts and some fun shoelaces. I truly have the greatest mother in the world! I know you are all jealous!

On a more serious note, today is 9/11. 12 years have passed since that day and I still remember very vividly what I was doing when I found out what had happened. That morning I sent my husband and his brother off to the school for classes and work. About twenty minutes later as I was cleaning out my closet in my bedroom, they came home. I looked at them and asked them why they were there. They told me that some people hijacked some airplanes and they crashed them into the world trade center buildings. They kept trying to get me to believe this crazy story and I didn't believe them. Finally after begging them to stop telling me stories, they looked a me and turned on the television. I remember watching in horror as they showed the footage of the plane crashing into the building. Then as we watched the live coverage, the first tower began to collapse. I remember wondering how our country would get through all of this. Then things got worse, the second tower fell and a plane crashed into the pentagon and another plane went down in Pennsylvania. It was insane. I felt helpless, I felt scared. I was pregnant with my first child and I remember wondering how I would raise a child in a war torn world.

12 years later I still feel those feelings as vividly as I did then. I will never forget. I will always remember that day and I will always be proud to be an American. I love my country and the freedoms we have here. It is something worth fighting for. I am so proud of the soldiers, police officers, firefighters, and many other people who risk their lives to keep me safe and to keep our country safe. I hope I can live up to them and do a good job. I hope we never forget the day our lives changed.

Peace be with you all on this day.

Leg day zombie

So today was another tough day. Surprise! Only kidding on the surprise. I have been super tired lately. I need more sleep. Anyway, I did my workout without my knee brace today. It was ok. It wasn't any more painful than when I wear it. I'm thinking I will take it a day at a time. We will see how it feels in the morning.

Today, although hard, was fun. I really love all the great people in my Bootcamp family. It is always a party at 0800!

Have I mentioned how much I Loathe (LOVE) endurance leg day? I mean seriously if I could miss (never miss) a day that would (would not) be the day to do it! Well, it has been a few days since I last blogged, so I thought I would get back on that.


Have a great night!

Friday

Today was a good day. I finally, after 9 weeks of Bootcamp, ran the full distance without walking or resting!! I am very impressed with myself. Sherbon ran with me and kept me going. Not only that but I made the whole workout without giving up at anything. Yes it sucked and yes it was hard, but it was sooooo worth it!!!

I put on a pair of pants this week that I pretty much have always squeezed into and they fit with room to spare!! Also, my Levi's are getting loose as well. I am still losing inches everywhere. I also put on some shorts that I wear at bedtime that were too tight and now they fit with room to spare too!! The only problem with this is I can't afford new clothes!! #bootcampproblems

Hope you have a great weekend!!

Leg day

Oh my goodness, today was hard, it didn't help that I was completely exhausted today. I didn't go to sleep until after midnight last night. 20 minutes later, my husband woke up and was sick. He finally went back to bed and 20 minutes later my oldest child was standing next to my bed in tears. She had woken up and couldn't fall back to sleep. I told her to get her pillow and blanket and come lay down on the floor by my bed. I finally get back to sleep, I woke up to turn over and I couldn't move my feet. They were stuck under two more children who had climbed into my bed and fallen asleep. I can't move the no matter how hard I try, so I give up and just go back to sleep. 20 minutes later.........my alarm goes off!!! So I'm running on about Maybe an hour and a half of sleep.

I did finally get about a 20 minute nap before the children woke me up asking for help on their homework. Needless to say,I was pretty tired this morning.

Today was hard. Leg and shoulders. I was out of breath ALOT!!! I know I got yelled at for not moving a lot today too. Oh well. I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow anyway. I'm so sore.

Time to take the boy to karate. Hiya!!

A dream of blues

P.s. after yesterday's workout my arms hurt so bad that I couldn't type, so you didn't get to hear about it. I'll tell you a little bit about it though. I worked hard during the workout. The weight on most of the exercises was increased. A lot!! I even did 40's on the bent over row! Playing with the big boys now!! Well I'm tired, I am going to try and sleep.

The ROOM OF DOOM!

So, today was a good day, went to Bootcamp this morning and did THE ROOM OF DOOM, but not before laughing a lot!!

Instructor Thomas kept telling us he was sore and I told him I was crying a big ol' alligator tear for him. He couldn't see it though.....ok, so maybe I was just giggling. So he goes to show us what exercises we have to do and he does a squat and he says it hurts his butt. Yeah, the whole room burst into laughter as Someone is screaming at him that there is no crying in the army. Oh we laughed, and we had fun.

Then came THE ROOM OF DOOM! It wasn't as hard as I thought, but I learned not to say the words, I can't. Yeah I had to do push-ups today. Not my greatest moment, but I did do them on my feet!! Which was a good moment. We did a lot of constant exercising. It was a good thing. I quite enjoyed it. I might be exaggerating a little bit, but, I finished!!

I felt accomplished today. It was a good day. I also got my car fixed. The crack in the radiator was 5 inches long and was getting worse. I love love love spending money on my car. The car I absolutely loathe. At least I have a car, I should be grateful for that. I'm really glad I don't have to keep asking for rides though. It will be so much easier.

Thank you so much to all of my awesome friends who drove me everywhere this last week. I have greatly appreciated your kindness and help. It may be nothing to you, but it means so much to me.

Have a good evening!

HiLo

Today I experienced HILO. It is pretty much awesome!! It was Like Richard Simmons meets bootcamp,on crack!! I quite enjoyed it and I will definitely sign up again next time. It was a lot of fun, it was also hard, but I did it.

Seeing the Instructor in spandex shorts was interesting.....lol....but the whole class was awesome. We did 20 extra minutes of workout too! I guess we all just love being in pain!! :D

I have to say I have amazing friends. If it weren't for them, I would not have been able to make it to several sessions of Bootcamp. I am so thankful to all of you. You know who you are. My car should be fixed tomorrow. I hope.

Also, I got this nice little note from my Bootcamp buddy today.....so sweet!


So I just have to share a thought I had today at HILo class. It was toward the end when we were about to die, sweatin' like dogs and you and I high fived each other. As we walked to our stations I thought, "Miller is Rockin' this HiLo class. She can do anything she sets her mind to do." You're amazing PT Miller. So proud of you and all the progress you are making. Woo Hoo!  ~PT Kelly


I am so glad to have such a great support system. Thank you all!!
