How about some great pictures some of you have been sending in of your food! Keep’ em coming! I’ll post one per day so you can get some ideas.

It’s one thing to have all the tools and know how.
But…
Showing up to this blog, sharing your questions, concerns, struggles, and success not only helps you in the process, but you are helping others, too.
And if I’ve leaned anything over the past few years, it’s when I put myself out there, I not only end up helping a whole lot more people, but I end up getting a Metric-Ton more out of the experience and grow exponentially.
So what does that mean when we are talking about a little 30-day challenge? It might seem small, but when it’s all said and done, showing up for this is no different than showing up for your family, for your friends, and for your life.
It’s a beautiful day. You are on your way to a leaner, cleaner you. It starts with your thoughts and your beliefs about your ability to show up in the world. That leads to making the choices each day, at each meal. This leads to a healthier functioning body, from better digestion, to better nutrient assimilation. These inside changes lead to outside evidence, from a smaller waist, to a smaller size, to more energy… even to more smiles.
Stay focused on your worth-while goals. Keep being kind to yourself. You are ROCKIN’ the world right now!!!
Great day to start reminding yourself why you are doing this, and connect to your goals.
Did you write them down before you started the 30-day Challenge? Get them out and read them now. Reconnect to stay in the game.
Today I stepped on the scale and I have lost twenty pounds! I have not weighed this little for ten years! I am down 16 inches and two pant sizes! I feel amazing. My energy has not been this good in a long time! I am able to handle stress better than ever even though the amount of stress I have is the highest it has ever been. I cannot imagine not sticking with the adjustments; it has simply become a part of my life. -Lindsay
In 3 months, I took off 17 lbs and in a total of 5 months I am down 22 lbs and 14 inches, and continuing to lose. I have dropped 2 pant sizes and a ton of inches, my body has muscle and tone where I have never seen it before. I could not have done any of this without the help of Audra and her team. -Sondra
When I learned about the Be Fit Boot Camps, I knew this was my summer to reshape my body. I carved out a slice of "me time" in the 6am hour and got busy. At the first dunking I weighed 144 lbs and was over 34% body fat. 11 weeks later at the second dunking, I weighed 132 lbs and had lost 8.8% of my body fat. I also put on 3 lbs of muscle during those 11 weeks. -Susan
I have lost over 25 lbs! My life has truly changed. People say this all the time, but I am serious! I will never go back to the poor food choices I was making, or the lack of exercise, and I have changed my lifestyle in the ways I now I was eating, and what I was doing to myself. Boot camp has really been a great new focus in my life. It's just been amazing! -Anna
Finishing up the 12 week fitness challenge with my trainer Audra Baker! I have lost a ton of weight (15 pounds!), and 11 inches off my body, and I feel like a million bucks! Whooohooooo!!!"

Something new and different was exactly what I needed. I feel like this new form of exercise was the catalyst to break through my lack of motivation and weight loss plateau. I have added years to my life. I also have an overall sense of well being that I never experienced when I was heavier, as well as much more energy, focus and confidence. -Steve
At boot camp I feel encouraged and motivated. I love the boot camp atmosphere. I have lost 8 lbs and 2 inches on my abs. Even though my weight loss has been relatively small, the energy level and the feeling I get after a good workout cannot be denied. It is awesome. Also, it is amazing how much I have learned about nutrition - how easy it is to eat healthy and truly "feed" your body. Learning about nutrition has been a huge part of my change. -Luis
I was fat, angry and in denial of what I really looked like. I knew I wasn't happy with how I looked but could not get motivated to change it. Going to boot camp was really hard, but I made a decision to stick with it, eat healthier and more often, and really just focus on me. Now I am a new me and I love myself. I was really wrapped in in the taking care of the family and now I know that I can do that and work out too. -Patricia
In seven weeks I've lost 6lbs, and for the first time in a long time, I can see the result. Ifeel accountable for my actions. I think before I eat, drink, or grocery shop. I love having the switch clicked ON in my brain to put my health first. I hold my head up higher and have a confidence about myself. I'm so glad I joined your boot camp and can't wait to continue to see results!!! It's all due to you and your team! Thank you! -Jamie
