Round 2

Before I start this blog I have to give a shout out to my best friend, ST.  She celebrated her 100th pound lost this week!  Since her surgery in 2011 and two rounds of boot camp, she's been at this weight loss journey much longer than I have, and I'm so proud of her and happy to have her to walk down the weight loss road with me! 


I haven't blogged or been to boot camp in a while because life has been a little crazy lately!  Hubby and I celebrated our 1st anniversary with a trip to Cincinnati for the weekend, and the families I work for have had a lot going on.  But I managed to make it to the gym one day this week, and I am starting my second 8-week boot camp tomorrow morning.  I doubt I'll have lost anything, anniversary celebratory meals aren't exactly diet friendly! :)

 

I am currently down 19 pounds from where I was on March 1st, before I started boot camp.  I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but I am by no means finished.  V and I discussed some nutrition strategies and I'm starting a new plan to help balance my hormones in hopes of boosting my metabolism.  It is restrictive, but it makes sense, and I am now 100% committed to making the best choices in my life for my health. I wouldn't say I was completely successful at sticking to the plan this week, unfortunately.  But Monday is a new week, and I'll give it another go!

This is my first boot camp before and after photo.  From March 1st-April25th 2013.  For me, it is visual proof that the hard work is worth it!
