Being Inspired at Pure Power Bootcamp, NYC - Tour of Duty, Day 3...

Hi Everyone,
Back and blogging about my Tour of Duty at Pure Power Bootcamp  :). So far as you can see it's been quite  an experience. Even though it's only been 2 days, it's been 2 days of much self reflection and thought. Little did I know though how much day 3 had in store for me. It was the a little thing called "wisdom" which I must add is PPBC's tenth principle of leadership.... Below is my entry, enjoy!
Tour of Duty: Day 3...
I went today! Although it isn't any easier then the first day when I felt like throwing up and not being able to catch my breath. I'm still the weakest link and wonder if I'll ever be able to not be. There was a girl in the class today (I thought she was the instructor as she looked like one of Michelangelo's sculptures - kid you not! She was chiseled and turns out she wasn't an instructor). She said she started last April. I kinda thought about it, that's probably when my Tour of Duty will end and I'll be able to decide if I will be continuing with all this. I also realized that I can't be so hard on myself as Rome wasn't built in one day. I really can't expect to be all buffed out when I'm just not at that level. I think things just take time and  I need to embrace where I'm at and try everyday to get out of my shell and just be. I'm glad that girl was there as I realized that things take time to accomplish and become. Taking baby steps and then go to the next level once your stronger and have that foundation. I suppose right now I'm not even building the foundation, instead just starting to collect all the materials that will create it.

To Do For My Visual Board:
-use glitter sticks
-get more magazines for cut outs              
-double stick tape
-get more fun stickers and glue sticks @ the .99 cent store

I think I need to make a vision board for bootcamp. This is really hard so I need to help myself and be creative in the process. I need visuals. I'm running out of fun stickers - I need more stickers. Visually I know how I want to be - strong and back to my size. I saw a cut out of making a visual board in Self Magazine. I think this could work. It looks like fun. Besides that, I was reading a article that Lauren wrote. Not sure how long ago it was but I found it on the CNN news link of one of her interview videos on the bootcamp website. Anyhow, these were  the two most important bootcamp q's to ponder for the board:
1)What are my goals?
Be size 0/2

2)What sort of person do I want to be?
Inspiring, a leader, fun/confident and like Dara Torres
