The Camp Transformation did just that- transformed my life. This is how: 6 weeks ago I dedicated my life to a challenge in which I had to lose 5% body fat. I wasn't overweight but I definitely had fat to lose around my hips. I had this desire to feel strong, confident, and healthy. In those six weeks I learned how to be creative with my meals in order to keep them healthy. Even that term "healthy" can be deceiving. I really had to grow in knowledge to understand the how and why behind what I was eating. I had to watch the "pink-drink" social media craze from the sidelines and pack my pre made meals to family gatherings. I learned that my soul is way stronger than I give it credit for, my bladder is tinier than I thought, and Burpees and I will always have a love-hate relationship. I completed the challenge down 5.5% body fat and 14lbs. I started at 27.3% body fat. When I shared my news with one of my trainers I cried. It was not easy, but I actually did it. I DID IT! But what is most amazing about this journey are the intangibles left behind. My kids play "gym", eat asparagus guacamole like it's candy, and even get excited watching me challenge myself. My 6 year old tells me what I can and can't eat when we are out, which tells me she's learning too. I have more energy than I expected. I can push my body for a grueling hour at The Camp and still have energy to go home and take the kids on a bike ride, dance party in the living room to Kidz Bop, or play hide and seek behind my piles of clean laundry that are waiting to be folded. I completed a strict and grueling 6 week challenge! HOLY CRAP! I AM STRONG. And I'm not talking about muscle strong. It is a strength and discipline that is deep within me that was forced to come alive. Thank you to everyone who supported my journey, to my family and friends who would turn sideways when eating next to me, (you didn't have to but I noticed đ), to everyone having to read my attempt at entertaining daily check-ins online, and to my Camp family who pushed me, challenged me and died next to me every time "5" really meant "8" more seconds. I feel amazing. I'm glad I had to check-in on social media along my journey. I am not "blessed" skinny, I'm not "starving" skinny, I am disciplined strong. Now, when you see me in public you can high five me for my hard work. You've seen the proof of it. You've been on my journey with me. I hope my experience can motivate others to challenge themselves. The emotional changes you achieve are immeasurable. "They run and not grow weary."...
   Read moreI do not even know where to start. Just six weeks ago I was a whole different person physically and mentally. Physically because I was growing out of my clothes instead of fitting into my old clothes put away in back of my closet. Mentally because I didn't know how to eat healthy I wasn't healthy but WOW did I learn and accomplish so much in just six weeks. I am not going to lie first week at The Camp I thought to myself "omg whata heck did I get myself into" thought to myself "this is only the first week no way am I going to make it through this challenge" but I love this place I love the motivation the positive vibe from every one as soon as you walk in through those doors from front desk staff to all the members working as hard as you to as well accomplish something positive to especially the trainers!
