The First Part Is The Hardest Part

Our 3 female participants have hit the ground running. They are coming to our boot camps and trying to change to a healthier lifestyle.

Every week, the group meets with Velma and myself to discuss various topics that will help them succeed. Plus any other issues or concerns that they have about any part of the program. After a week and a half, the group was getting used to the workouts. The soreness was starting to go away, but the exercise was still kicking their butt.

The hardest part that all three agreed upon was changing their nutritional habits. Food can be so powerful and it takes a little bit of time for your body to adjust to something new. Eating healthier and properly eliminates the chance for your body to eat all those processed foods. You eliminate a lot of unwanted sugars, additives, and preservatives that in my opinion can be addicting.

Each one had their little battles they had to overcome i.e. cake, McDonald's, etc. But, for the first week and a half it was encouraging that they were eating more good meals than bad. They were feeling a little bit more energized and certain clothes were feeling a little better.

And really that is what is to be expected in a week and a half. These changes won't happen overnight. It will take time, but the crew is on their way to a good start.
