End of 2009 Boot Camp

So, we have come to the end of Boot Camp (technically, it ended last week). I had really good results, especially when you look at it from the beginning (back in May). So, for the month of October, I lost 4 pounds, almost 1% body fat, and 4.6 inches. HOORAY FOR ME!!!

Since May 8th (6 months, 1 day), I have lost a total of 15.4 pounds, 4.9% body fat, and 20.25 inches. My achievements are that I was able to run a mile in 9 minutes, 29 seconds and I can do 40 full sit-ups in 1 minute. My biggest achievement by far is that I can do 42 full push-ups on my toes in 1 minute!!!

This has been one of the most rewarding, both mentally and physically, things I have ever done. Probably more mentally than physically. I feel so good about myself. I still have a way to go to get truly toned, but I am on the right path.

I have a wonderful Boot Camp instructor, Stacey Blind, who puts so much time and energy into Boot Camp for us girls. She makes it challenging and fun while making us feel like we can accomplish anything.

We have time off through the holidays since it is such a busy time for everyone. I am going to Curves to keep up my routine. The Curves circuit training is challening as well and I know will keep me in shape.

I hope to stay motivated into 2010!
