Melody in January 2011Melody’s Boot Camp Journey:
Q: Tell us about yourself and your past fitness or health journey.
A: Weight management has been a lifelong struggle for me. I’ve tried more diets and exercise regimes than I count with varying levels of success. As a result, I have seen my weight yo-yo up and down through the years with my highest being nearly 300 lbs. In 2007, I made the decision to have weight loss surgery. The surgery gave me the tools to lose a substantial amount of weight, but I soon found myself reaching a plateau and later and more dishearteningly I became to gain some of the weight back. I decided I needed to not only make smarter choices about the way I ate, but to also take my fitness to a new level. Having been overweight all of my life and never having excelled, let alone participated in any sport, I knew it would be quite a challenge to find that inner athlete. Boot Camp Hawaii has been instrumental in helping me learn the fundamentals of physical fitness. I feel myself getting stronger and my endurance increase every week. I still have a ways to go on my journey, but I feel confident that I am on the right track.
Q: What fitness and health results have your experienced so far with Boot Camp Hawaii?
A: Everything in my closet fits again! Yay! I’ve experienced increased strength and energy and overall improved health. By far the most significant change has been an improvement in my blood pressure. Recently, I was able to cut the dosage of my medication in half and hopefully eventually will not need to take anything at all.
Q: How have the nutrition classes benefited you?
A: I’ve learned how healthy food choices can affect your athletic performance and your weigh loss goals. It’s not just about calories in and calories out. I’ve also learned how important it is to food log. I have much better weight loss results when I keep track of what I’m eating.
Q: What would you say to someone who is thinking about the signing up for the 12-week Get Sexy Fitness Challenge?
A: Congratulations on this first big step to a better you! It will be hard and you will be sore, but it will all be worth it!!
