I get by with a little help from my friends…

I know I’ve said it before but, really really, Bootcamp offers so much more than just a workout. There is something to be said about the friendships/camaraderie/bonds we build at Bootcamp.

The S3/2 Challenge is just that, a challenge, at least for this junkfood junkie it is. Its my circle of Bootcamp friends that are Facebooking me, texting me, and talking with me that keeps me on track. Let me introduce you to my friends:

Its the Drill Sargent Jill holding us accountable with attendance at Bootcamp. If you can’t make it you better call.

It’s the Monday morning text: “Do you have a plan? Veggies and Protein Covered?”  reminding me to stay on track. Gotta love my sister in law, she knows I needed that reminder. Happy to say that at the time, I was eating celery and peanut butter. Veggies-check, protein-check, add the bottle of water-check and I get an  A+.

It’s also the fabulous Paulette, who I am texting ‘stop me cause I need to either eat myself sick or drink to oblivion’ because I am having a horrendous day… She talks me off the edge with a simple “it’s not worth it!” And she’s right, especially knowing that I have to turn in a food log and step on a scale in the next two days keeping me grounded.

There is Kathy, who we’ve come up with an incentive to follow the plan. If we gain, money gets paid to the other; if we lose, we keep the money. At the end of the 8weeks, we’ll have enough money for a new article of clothing.

Then there is my Donna who is carpooling or meeting me at Bootcamp. Or she is facebooking ‘words of wisdom’.

And of course our Trainers, with our daily motivational anecdotes and health facts. Yup, I get by with a little help from my friends.

Stay on track my friends! Oh and here’s DK’s quote:

Blog you later.
