When I signed up for Boot Camp 10 months ago it was my birthday gift to myself. Something "just for me"......Time to make a change physically and re-create the habit of daily exercise.
Like some, I wondered what type of gift I had really given myself as I struggled through injuries, getting up early, grueling workouts and my ATTITUDE toward how difficult such a change was for me.
Today as I reflect back on the last 10 months, I am overwhelmed with emotion at the gift that I truly gave to myself. The gift of health, confidence, mental toughness, the feeling that I can accomplish anything I set out to do, and most of all friendships that will last a lifetime!
While getting up and going to boot camp is still the one thing that I do out of my day that is "just for me", it is no longer just about me. It has become SO much more and the gift just continues to grow. I now have the privilege of helping others achieve their goals. The feeling that I feel in my stomach when I see someone who couldn't run to their mailbox take minutes off of their timed mile is priceless!
As I approach my 40th birthday this August and my 1 year anniversary at Boot Camp, I am so thankful. Thankful that I did something "just for me"! My life is forever changed in ways I never imagined possible!
