As I sit in the airport at 5 in the morning I was compelled to write a post about never giving up. Yesterday was a huge day for me and I’ll start with sharing that. 

Six weeks ago I joined the worlds best bootcamp not really sure what I was getting myself into and not sure if I was really ready for this bootcamp. Both mentally and physically I struggled but I know I wanted to do something. I went on the Saturday of thanksgiving for baseline tests. I did mediocre at best and wasn’t overly impressed with my measurements. I decided to dedicate myself to the process to not give up when it got hard and to get through it. 

The baseline workout included skipping, squats (hey I can squat) sit ups, push ups (ya right) and burpees (my enemy). Needless to say in the ten minutes we were given to complete this I did not. I left feeling kind of down but knew by the end I would finish it. Maybe shave off a minute or two from my time. 

Through the six weeks I struggled to find my pace. I struggled with feelings of doubt and not being good enough to keep up. But with the help in support from the ladies and Al in my troop we were on fire. Yesterday when I went and did my baseline and graduation measurements a couple days early becuase I would be leaving town I can’t even begin to express the feelings I had about the work out. 

Now wednesdays are tough for me as I meet with my friend who trains me in the morning and then I have to go to bootcamp at night but I got myself there ready to go. 

We did the measurements the one minute max tests and the baseline. After all was said and done I went and ran my laps and completed the workout with the class. After class we learned my results. I managed to get down 11.5 inches and got my time to 7 minutes and 10 seconds!!!!!!!! Absolutely crazy what you can achieve when you put your mind to something and commit yourself. If you never give up and strive for the best self you can really do anything. It won’t be easy but you will do it! 

In the words of Marcus Stroman “I can’t lie I’ve been on a mission to make all the doubters eat their words up in the kitchen…legendary comeback!” 

Don’t ever give up on your dreams because you can do everything your heart desires! Get yourself in the right mindset and you will achieve greatness! ❤️?
