Yesterday morning I headed out to my second open-to-the-community boot camp workout down under the bridge at Town Lake! Remember the first time I went to one of these, just a month ago? Attending that session convinced me to give the whole boot camp thing a go—and doing that has helped me to shed about 7 lbs this month (compared to only 3 lbs lost in January)!
Here are a few pictures, courtesy of CrossFit Central’s Relentless Bootcamp, of me at yesterday’s workout:
I’m still one of the slowest ones, believe me . . . but as long as I keep showing up, I feel pretty good about myself!

Thanks, Quix! “Fun in a crazy sorta way” is just about spot-on!

Thanks, honey! I think in one of those pics I was smiling because I was almost done running ;).

Those are great pictures. You look more confident and sure of yourself in these pictures than the first ones. Just your body language projects “I have a right to be here and I kick ass!”.
That’s progress, woman!

Thanks, Shanny! I think that just by sticking with it, my confidence is growing, even though I have a ways to go in terms of strength and endurance.

You look amazing! Your waist has certainly made an appearance. :D Good job! Deb

Thank you so much, Deb! I’m an apple shape, so I know that when my waist finally starts appearing that I’ve made some serious progress :).

Fast or slow, matters not! All that matters is that you show up and you do it. :) Go girl!

Hey girl! Thanks for the reminder. Showing up is half the battle in life for me . . . and when I do show up, I feel really good about myself.
