Now, on day 32, with almost 5 weeks in the rear view mirror...Bootcamp is routine. I don't feel the need to call my Bootcamp partner every 2 minutes.
The focus changed from Bootcamp being the hardest thing ever to how much time we have left.
It really is just a matter of time...waiting.
Today, I looked at the pizza my co-worker ordered for everyone and I seriously almost grabbed it and took a bite. It looked soooo good.
Pizza does not rule me! Grrrr...

Feelings on Day 17
Wanting to quit because I cannot relax and have a drink on a Friday night.
SO excited that I am losing weight and my body is going to look better than ever.
Healthy because I haven't been eating fast food and soda, which makes me so bloated.
Balanced because I am exercising my mind, body and spirit everyday.
Accomplished because I have 17 days of hard, hard, hard Bootcamp under my belt.
Sad sometimes that I am missing out on fun times with friends.
Frustrated that there are reality shows that I reallly want to watch but can't.
Shocked that I am actually a nicer person without trying anymore!
Stoked for September 24th when I'll be on a plane to Bootcamp Completion vacation looking and feeling incredible!!!!

It's that quality you can't explain...
I came downstairs to a certain woman (relation remains anonymous) flexing her arms at me.
She works out for 20 minutes, maybe 3 times a week. To anyone that works out, that's pathetic.
I'm not going to lie, her arms looked nicer than mine. I am extremely happy for her and I hope she keeps it up.
I walked away feeling like everything I was doing - resisting the fast food, eating healthy, not eating after 8 p.m., and working out like crazy - was a waste. Why am I even doing this, I thought to myself.
I was on my way out to our patio to do my daily Bootcamp readings. I sat down, put my feet up, opened my Bible and it hit me.
Principle 1- Bootcamp is guaranteed.
There is not the slightest possiblity that my body will not be at its healthiest and most fit point its ever been at the end of 2 months. I WILL look GOOD. So many people that want to look good get discouraged after 1 or 2 weeks and then quit...I won't be that person. Just because I didn't see it at day 6 doesn't mean anything...
ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Principle 2- Bootcamp is more than working out.
That person flexing her arms at me is working out and seeing results and that is great! BUT, what I'm doing is a little different...
Because when she is filling her mind and spirit with reality TV, I'm reading my Bible. When she comes home from a long day at work complaining about her job, I'm reading stories on how to be successful doing what you love. When she is getting stressed in traffic and her blood pressure and risk of heart attack and stroke increases while her immune system decreases, I'll be calm and healthy. When she is cussing out the person who was rude to her at the store and being the opposite of compassionate, I'll be the one standing there NOT looking like white trash while making more enimies for myself.
SO, thanks Life Enrichment Bootcmap. Because of you I'll have that quality people have that you can't always explain...always likable, always getting the job, always beating the competitor, always making the good impression as a well-rounded woman.
O! WHILE looking good...but I guess that's just the icing on the cake. ;-)

Day 12
A breakthrough occured today.
It was easier to not get mad at the person in front of me going 10 mph under the speed limit.
I realized it and was shocked.
Success.

PUMPED
I just realized I haven't been optimizing this bootcamp.
I looked at my trip to NY (as far as bootcamp goes) as extremely stressful...no drinking and dealing with traffic, missing my bus, dealing with horrible customer service, waiting for people everywhere I went, etc...
My trip to NY...I did something I never thought I could do. I had a freakin' blast with no alcohol, no drugs, no sex, no cussing, being nice to people and no partying. INSTEAD, we went to 2 Christian concerts (which were honestly SO much fun, hard Christian rock bands), prayed together, walked around NYC, read the Bible and ate really good food.
This bootcamp is contagious and we are doing something extraordinary...and that's exactly what I'll be when it's over.
