Beauty Boot Camp Works!
Since the reveal on May 13, 2008, I have lost a total of 30 lbs and close to 30 inches from my entire body, which moved my weight from 180lbs to 150lbs. After the BBC contest I was really scared that I would fail with keeping up the continued weight loss and living healthier as I had followed the eating plan and exercise to the letter during the challenge and did not ever cheat. So now, here I am facing the world without the BBC and the accountability to the team and contest and I felt afraid, so in a effort to create an immediate safety net for myself I started working out with another great training on the GOB Staff, FitzRoy Smith, who leveraged the summer months to add outdoor cardio to my gym weight training, which really trimmed my body down. Additionally we made a few food changes which also continued to help with the leaning process as we found it hard to make this short, stocky, muscular frame, with a large fat overlay, leaner. The increased cardio, and the increase of veggies deemed to be a good combination for my body type.
As I become more confident with my own ability to use all the techniques I have learned to work out alone, I still felt the need to work out with someone else at least 2 days a week. (Not sure of myself) So for the month of September I introduced another form of exercise and leveraged the knowledge from another GOB resource Paul Delgado-Professional Boxer. I really enjoyed combining the Cardio and Boxing techniques with the strength training to create an all in one experience. I worked out with Paul for the month of Sept, and plan to continue working out with him and using the skills learned through boxing to reach my weight loss goal of 135lbs. The last 15 lbs seem to be the hardest to release.
Additionally, I am continuing to have excellent skin care success with the products from Institute Dermed and the team of Outstanding Professionals within their organization. I really enjoy my skincare treatments with Kristin and Kim and the Endermology appointments with Jenny. I love the team and the products prescribed for me to use.
Lastly, I am keeping my hair together through the services offered by Noland Suttle Hair Salon, directly provided by Todd Noland and LiNoka. Since the reveal they are keeping my hair styles fresh and new and we are looking forward to going shorter and adding color. I have really enjoyed getting to know Todd and Linaka.
In closing, I really miss the BBC experience (with the ladies from the Boot Camp) and all the wonderful exercise and nutritional experiences with AMY!!!
Love You Guys
