I can’t believe it.
The video proves it. I didn’t lose one single pound…but what’s even more important is that after my wine, food and dessert weekend…I DIDN’T EVEN GAIN A POUND! Wooo Hoooo!!!
My main goals for the month of December are 2 fold. First, for my personal goals, I’d like to lose a little weight, despite the nagging fact that we are smack down right in the middle of the holiday season. Instead of going through my detox program or my 21-day eat clean (aka: rapid fat loss solution). I’m eating healthy food, but I’m also not depriving myself of anything (hence the coffee on the weekends and even a few desserts at a special dinner or party).
The second goal is that I want to show you that it is possible to enjoy the holidays and maintain your weight. This weekend would be a great example of this. I didn’t say dessert was off limits, but I made sure not to eat very much of it. If I knew we were going to have a big dinner, then lunch was smaller to compensate. And no matter what…I always started off with a healthy breakfast. (Well…except for Monday which were croissants and coffee in our cottage…but I really paid for that one with a big headache and unstable blood sugar the rest of the day…)
So, I hope you find this helpful.
Exercise:
I couldn’t get a videographer (aka Miguel) today, so I went on a long run (long for me). I ran the trail in Los Gatos starting on the Main street bridge, then along the pipeline, then up 3 hills, then all the way back into town. During the hills portion of the run, I did 10 30-second hill repeats with anywhere from 30-seconds to a minute of rest. It’s a great way for me to break up a long run and get some strong bursts of power in there to help boost my metabolism and tone my thighs. You should try it!
Tomorrow I have a KILLER workout planned, so stay tuned!

So many of you are so supportive, so I just wanted to say thank you!
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
Love your weigh in…glad your doing them and not me….he he he…good job! Interesting how you though you’d go up but you did not! That is awesome!
