Hard Work Pays Off!

My bootcamp location is SW, at Mills Elementary School. This week the sidewalks were decorated with chalk pictures, crooked hopscotch diagrams and some angst-ridden elementary age graffiti. My favorite was “SCHOOL were (sic) all students are tortured.” I had to laugh at it. After all, I saw it as I was hobbling to my car after a grueling, some might say torturous, work out.

Whether or not it was a brutal week of camp, the last week is awesome for one main reason: evaluations. You gotta love the day when you find out that there are inches gone and pounds lost all through the power of moving your body. I love the fact that my thighs and calves are showing definition and have gone from firm to downright hard when I flex the muscles.

There’s no better feeling in the world than the satisfaction of a job well done and the rewards that go along with it. I want to tell everyone that I’ve lost inches here and inches there and oh, several inches right here. I want the world to know that while they were sleeping I was out under a starry early morning sky doing The Ring of Fire and hey, won’t you look at me now!

I’m thrilled with my results. And I feel empowered knowing the harder I work, the more I benefit. Let the saga of The Incredible Shrinking Woman continue! My dream of becoming lean, toned and fit is well underway.
