Keep On Moving!

This weekend I participated in the annual Step Out Diabetes Walk with a few of my boot camp buddies! It was a wonderful event and also a great reminder as to one of the reason why I began this journey. I lost my father due to complications from Type II Diabetes so this cause has always been one that is dear to my heart. Knowing that I have a family history of this disease is why I will continue this weight loss journey. Two months went by way too fast! But I know that it takes time to change habits and to form a routine but I am committed to doing whatever I have to do to get there. This was such a great way to begin this lifestyle change and I really have learned so much. From the proper form for exercise moves, eating healthier, being more accountable to change unhealthy habits, etc. The list just goes on.


My next set of goals is to continue this challenge even though we are officially finished with this program. As I stated in a previous post I'll be starting the 21 day Food, Fitness and Faith Challenge. Really excited about that and I am going to continue posting to this blog every now and again to let anyone who is interested read how I am doing. 
Going forward I just hope that the Boot Camp Test group stays in contact. I found having that support system helped me tremendously in getting to where I am today. I still have more that I want to change with my weight loss goals and having friends to get you there helps so much. I am happy with where I am so far no matter what happens on our last measurement day! The fact that we all went through and finished this challenge is an accomplishment! I hope everyone else feels the same as we begin to wrap up our days as the first boot camp test group.  Just in case here is a little reminder that we should keep in our minds! Last week of this challenge - let's go!
