Hello All, sorry I have not been in touch for a couple of weeks. I have been very busy. We are winding down our eighth week at mooser camp. It is going well. I feel I am putting a good effort into this project, but know I can do better. I need to get my head wrapped around the pain an just do it.
I am almost done week 1 of my rapid weight loss diet. Most of it is not bad, it is just being able to get the 6 meals a day in. What is bad is the cottage cheese & protein shakes for breakfast. yuke!!!!!! Never thought I could hate cottage cheese, but after that at 5 a.m. I now do.
I am starting to see some of the results, my clothes are much looser and even my pants, that dropped a size, are getting loose. That makes me feel good. I am also able to wear some clothes I haven't touched in 3 years. Yeah. My energy level is definately up and I am more motivated to make changes in my weekend schedule. I try not to be at home sitting, but cleaning or moving. Makes me feel much better.
All of the moosers are doing great and are putting tremendous effort into this. These are great people and I know we will stay in touch after this is all over. We will be encouragement for each other to keep going.
Talk to you again sometime next week.

Half Way Point
Hello All,
We just finished week 6 and I am feeling GREAT!!! We were measured this week and I am not happy about the weight loss, but I am happy that I have lost 9 3/4 " all over. That to me is a good number. I see the workouts increasing in intensity, but also increasing our fat burning capabilities. Not sure what to look forward to next week, but I am sure Ben & Mary will make it very interesting. I do have to tell you that I hate I really hate burpees. I know they are a good exercise, but they really kill my knees. I just need to work it out and get over the pain. Hope to have more progress for you in a couple of weeks. I have set a weight loss goal of 30 lbs. by the end of the 12 weeks and I feel that is reasonable and attainable. See you next week Moosers.

Week 5/Freaky Fat Loss Friday
End of week 5. Getting anxious for next week. Weigh in and measurements. Can't wait to see how far I have come,but also hoping it is more than what I think. Feeling great. I have a ton of energy everyday and just feel much better.
I increased my weights today. It was hard in some areas and easier in others. I just want to keep on improving my self and getting healthier.
I feel the support from all of my friends. Everyone asks me how it is going and that they are very proud of me. That makes me feel good. I hope to be an inspiration for others to make a change. If I can do it with all the excuses I have given over the years. Anyone can do it. Just put 1 foot in front of the other and go from there. The first step is the hardest after that it is just motivation.

Hello All,
End of week 4. It has been a harsh week for me. Food has been a struggle. Alot of stress this week at the job. Being an emotional eater really sucks. I felt I had a handle on it going thru Valentine's day without eating any chocolate or diverting from the menu. Then a huge thing happened at work on Wednesday and threw it all out the window. I felt so bad about slipping on Wednesday that I worked extra hard on Thursday & Friday mornings. It felt good to step up my game. I see where I was 4 weeks ago to know. I have gained some ground. I still have a long way to go, but I know I can get there.
I do have to say that the support that I receive from the morning group is phenomenal. They are a great group of people and want to really see everyone succeed. Without them, my friends and family I could not do this and would not stick to it. Thanks to all of you.
I have lost a pant and shirt size and feel wonderful. I have more energy everyday and look forward to starting my day with a great work out with a great group of people.
I will leave you with this quote. Hopefully it makes you think about yourself and what your brick wall are.

The brick walls are there for a reason.
They're not there to keep us out.
The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something".

Hello All,
Sorry I was not able to blog last week. Very busy and I don't like it. It is the middle of week 3 and I am enjoying the workouts very much. I find myself getting up earlier to do things around the house before my workout. I also have a huge amount of energy that I didn't before. That is great. I am finding the food part a little difficult I am in meetings all day, on the road or just in places where I can't take a cooler in with me to carry my food for the day. Of course I am trying very hard to stay within thew guidelines, but it is not easy when you can't bring the food with you. Restaurants think they are making a pretty healthy meal, but not as healthy as they should.
I am excited to go to 6 days a week this week, but I cannot be there for the first Saturday. I am going to do a workout where I am at and try and get my sister in laws to workout with me. It will defiantly be an experience.
I would like to finish my blog with a huge thank you to all of the group of moosers for their support in our journey together. Thank you to the other people at Bootcamp for supporting us in what we all know is not an easy task, but know that we can do it an thank you BEN. You can motivate people to do things they don't think they can, but also you understand us and don't judge us. You are AWESOME!!!!!!

End Week 1
Hello All,
End of week one. My body is waking up after years of hybernation. Can't believe even my feet hurt. It is a good hurt and it will go away. I also need to work thru it. I felt great this morning when I started craving a work out. I know it sounds crazy after only a week, but I looked for something to do today that would benefit me. Went for a walk.
I am enjoying the classes and especially like the support from all the other people. I think we all want everyone to succeed and are really going to make sure it happens. Even the non-moosers support our efforts and keep us moving. One person in paticular, who will remain anonymous, is giving us challenges to work harder and dig down deep to do our best and try harder. Thank you very much.
Need to go, but will check in with you again next week.

Day 2 of Hell Week
Hello All,
This is Stephanie B. I have done 2 days of bootcamp and I am feeling pretty good. Yeah my body hurts, but that is expected to happen. I find I have much more energy thru the day and I like it. With pain comes health and it is worth it. I wanted to give up today, but was supported by some awesome bootcampers & I made it thru. Support is a huge motivator and much needed in this type of activity. can't wait to see what comes next week. Talk to you again soon.
