About two months ago I signed up for a boot camp competition at the gym I attend. It involved an intense circuit training I attended at least 3 days a week, sometimes 5! After taking the class, I realized a few things: 1) I was starting to get chubby, chubby; 2) I had no idea what I was doing at the gym; 3) Protein powder is no longer my enemy (as long as a hole isn't burnt in the wallet by it). So, thank you, thank you boot camp and all the trainers involved with helping me learn everything I know. Thank you for all the friends that joined in the fun! And thanks to my wonderful husband for your support! I was so proud of him to hit the gym himself too! And of course thank you for taking all those inches to the trash and shrinking those fat cells!

Thumbs up, mom!

Ok, I don't look happy in this pic, but I obsolutely love that it shows less chub under the chin!
All in all I went from 39% body fat down to 25%! I can't remember exactly, but I lost 20-30 pounds of fat. I gained a bunch of muscle; overall I lost 10 pounds!! I celebrated in the middle of boot camp with a new pair of size 4 pants! I bought them a little tight with anticipation of more inches to shed off, and now they are pretty loose. Best of all I feel amazing, and I plan to keep my life as healthy as possible from now on.
