Three Cheers for my --Bootcampers--

I just got home from bootcamp, it has been a long day. Though I MUST give a shout out to the ladies that sign up and come out to my bootcamp each week. 

They deserve a big "HURRRAAA!! " 

Honestly, they come in with smiles on their faces, they even leave with smiles on their faces and DURING the workout they are even smiling...k not the whole time haha!! 

I am so grateful to be a part of something that brings people together in a way that helps everyone. We all get a GREAT workout and stretch, we get to socialize; venting off steam is totally allowed!! I always leave bootcamp feeling better than I did when I arrived and it is because of my bootcampers!!! They come despite all the other things they could be doing, or could have spent their money on.  They show up and push themselves, they allow me to push them (not literally!) and they work through the sweat, they don't stop and say "I'm done", they keep going! I admire each one of them and thank them for letting me help them on their journey to a healthier fitter self. 

I had one participant say last week,

" this is such a great way to end the day, it clears my mind and it makes me feel so good". It's true that hour of bootcamp is their time, their time to focus on themselves and forget about what they did or didn't do that day. It is well deserved "me" time! I am happy to give them that. It is the least I can do :)

Basically thanks for another awesome night ladies.

 I look forward to Thursdays workout! 

YAY!

 

I love my family

This post goes out to my Fam-jam tonight. It is important to have a good support network in life. To have people that keep you motivated in reaching your goals. My family is a HUGE support, they encourage me and help me every day!

Well it is Sunday night and Matthew (my sweet Husband) has ordered me to stay on the couch and RELAX! I tried to fight him on it, but since I am laying here on the couch writing this he clearly won. I have been sick for the past 2 days and I must say it has made me grateful for many things, one of which is my family.
Let me tell you how I felt their love these past few days:
1. You know you are loved when your hubby wakes up at 3 am to rub your back while you puke last nights dinner up (sorry for the visual...but it's true)
2. You know you are loved when your baby girl stops crying when she's in your arms.

This is my baby girl, smiling for all the world to see!

3. You know you are loved when you haven't done your hair or make-up in 2 days and your significant other still wants to kiss you and tell you that you're beautiful.
4. You know you are loved when your hubby let's you take his spot in bed just because it makes you feel better.

She is such a good helper!

5. You know you are loved when your Dad watches your kid so you can sleep.
6. You know you are loved when your Hubby cleans out the puke bucket...ewwww!!

The 2 loves of my life :)

7. You know you are loved when your Hubby lays in bed with you just so you can fall asleep.
8. You know you are loved when your baby girls wants to snuggle with you on the couch...even if it is for a Milli-second.
9. You know you are loved when your significant other makes you toast with honey just the way you like it.
10. You know you are loved when your baby girl just wants to have your attention just so she can make you smile.

I am so happy to have a wonderful Husband and daughter. Some days I feel like I don't deserve them, but I know we are meant to be a family. They make my life brighter!! They are what motivate me to keep on going on days where I want to give up, they keep the fight in me!!

I love my family!!
