You can't give up at Pure Power Bootcamp, NYC - Tour of Duty, Day 2....

Hello Again..

Getting back on track and keeping up with my blogging and also on taking you through the journey of a Tour of Duty at Pure Power Bootcamp, NYC. I was thinking about how to blog it to make sense and figured the best way to do so is probobly blogging about it the same way the Tour of Duty is done. That being either 3x's per week for 12 weeks or 4x's per week for 8 weeks. I signed up for the 4x's per week one so I'll be sharing with you my journal entries just like that. And speaking of entries, since journals are meant to inspire, you'll notice that I doodle a lot (my own little creative mind thinking away) and also I like to include pictures of people that I look up to as role models. When ever your pursuing anything meaningful in life, one of the most important aspects that will help you achieve that goal is to surround yourself with those that exude positive energy & light!  Above you'll see a picture of one of my all time favorite role models - Dara Torres. I really like Torres for many reasons but perhaps the most profound reason is simply because she believes in goals and dreams and pursues them full throttle. Even if everyone around her thinks otherwise. That for me is admirable and the fact that she doesn't give up regardless how difficult the situation is. And speaking of not giving up...that is exactly the lesson I learned the second day of my Tour of Duty....


Day 2:
K, I'm a looser - I didn't go today because I just don't think I'll really be able to do all this. I already paid for the 8 weeks, so I feel really bad for not going but I suppose it's my own insecurity that keeps me from getting out of my shell. I was reading the handouts that they gave us. It talks about moving out of your comfort zone and I know that that's exactly what I need to do. I'm just being so insecure not to mention I'm incredibly embarrassed that I'm so out of shape. That and there are barely any female trainers (at least that I have seen - with exception of the owner.) Which I'm not sure when she teaches. Anyhow, I'll try again tomarrow and we'll see how far I can get...

"The road to success has many obstacles. If you trip and fall, don't stay down. Get back up, dust yourself off and keep going. Winners never quit and quitters never win."

Sometimes life can be quite challenging but it is made easier when one answers questions that can clarify the purpose and reasoning of why you are doing what you are doing... Here are some of my questions which helped me in really zoning in and being clear of why I had signed up for bootcamp. They are quite simple but once one thinks about things, they get you up and running giving you a vision of how you want to see yourself and where you're going. Below are some questions I asked myself...

1)What do you ultimately want to accomplish?

Ultimately, I would like to be back to my normal size "0/2" and be able to be strong.

2)Why do you want to accomplish this?

I would like to be strong for myself and feel good about myself.

3)How long do you think this will take?

I'm honestly not sure. I really haven't ever had to loose weight so I don't know. Being realistic, I'm thinking perhaps  6-12 months.
