I got this message from one of my Boot Campers the other day! And it really made me happy! I know that what we do here works, I know the way we tell people to eat works. I have lived it for the past year and a half and seen what it can do. But I LOVE to see it happen to others to and share in their joy! Dawn is one of my original Boot Campers! She started back at the beginning of the year and was the only one in her class for a LONG time. When she first started she had recently quit smoking and had lost 50 pounds on her own! Then she started with me, and I pushed her through these works outs three times a week! One time she even tried to call and say she was not coming! (She ended up coming and getting her butt kicked) Dawn has had heart issues in the past and was recommend to go on medication to help. She decided that she wanted to try and get better with diet and exercise. She came to me. We started working out three times a week and I got hold of her diet and changed a few things. She went to the doctor the other day...and well let me let Dawn tell it.....
"Thanks for being proud of us and thanks for encouraging us to participate in the event. We both really enjoyed it and were glad we did it. All your pushing has gotten me to do things I would NEVER have dreamed of doing on my own. While I'm not where I think I can be, I'm certainly not where I use to be and that's REALLY important when it comes to my health.
I often wonder if you realize want kind of an impact you have on the lives of the people you coach. For me, it's been huge. There is nothing on this earth more important than our health and you have certainly made an impact on mine.
On my last trip to the cardiologist, he said my heart was beating like a finely tuned watch...better than he's seen in any of his patience in a long time. That's really a big thing for me as I was having some real issues with that for a while.
Also, I had a complete blood count done and EVERYTHING is perfectly normal. Before I started bootcamp, one of my doctors wanted to put me on meds for a couple of different things because some of my levels where out of whack I never took any of the meds, just told them I would work harder on the diet and exercise. Now after six months of boot camp they said all is well with my various counts. So, all this hard work is really paying off. My intent is to live a nice long healthy life and die from natural causes when I get really OLD. Now, if I get killed by a car or hit by a bus before then.....I'm REALLY going to be pissed! lol
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for pushing me and encouraging me....I need it. Thanks to our good partnership, I'm medication FREE!
Dawn"
All I have to say is WOW! And that this woman has worked so HARD to be where she is today. I could not be prouder!!!
WAY TO GO DAWN! Keep up the hard work! Oh and that is her participating in Barbells for Boobs! She went from barely being able to swing a 15 pound kettle bell when she started, to doing "Grace" 30 clean and jerks @45 pounds in 2:29!! Hot Momma!
