Boot Camp Body Transformation Behind the Scenes

I apologize for the late post. I wanted to be sure to share Jaime's last entry from her series where she takes you behind the scenes of her body transformation. She has since shrunk even more, not to mention how strong and fit she is, through her continued participation in boot camp and Jean Drop Challenge. She recently placed in the top three of our last transformation challenge. My bet is she has her eye on that $500 prize for our upcoming challenge too. Congrats Jaime! We are proud of you!

Jaime's Week 6 Journal Entry

Week 6 already…it never ceases to amaze me how fast time flies. This has been an empowering week for me. Since my goal jeans are now wearable I tore apart my closet looking for smaller jeans. I came across a bin buried in the back corner labeled “Jaime’s Hopefuls”. I pulled it out and went for a wild ride down memory lane. These clothes haven’t seen the light of day since my early college years. I wish I could say I tried everything on and it all fit; it didn’t. But here’s the surprising part, a lot of them, especially the tops, were not that far off from fitting. A little more work and keeping up with what I’m already doing and I will actually be able to wear these things! Watching the numbers on a scale drop can be a lot like watching paint dry, so it is especially rewarding when you discover progress in other ways. At least the numbers are dropping, I’ve hit a weight I haven’t seen since before my last pregnancy and that feels so good.

On Tuesday evenings after my JDC workout I come home and tuck my older daughter into bed. She always asks the same thing “How was your workout, Mommy? What moves did you do?” She listens intently as I tell her about how we used a fire hose or were flipping a tire back and forth across the floor. She participated in a soccer camp this week and the coach had the kids running drills through a ladder. When I told her that sometimes I have to do that at my workouts she said “wow, soccer must really be a lot of hard work!” because she knows how challenging my workouts are. Later we did some stretching together and she was so excited when I let her use my foam roll. I am proud that I am able to teach my children about being healthy by example. I am walking the walk.

So even though these six weeks are coming to an end, my journey is not. My husband and I were having a conversation about things we’d like to do “someday”. I have always really wanted to go to Hawaii; so I threw it out there. “If I get down to my goal and am looking fine, will you take me to Hawaii?” He said if I can keep this up that “yes” he will take me to Hawaii. Here it is in writing and I’m going to hold him to his word. I have signed up for 2 more JDC sessions so next time you see me say “Aloha!”
