6 weeks ago I knew that I had to do something to lose weight and become more active. After having my hip replaced I became very lazy and I came home from work, after sitting all day, and I would sit on the couch and watch tv and snack. I put on about 20 lbs. What really woke me up was having a blood test done to test my cholesterol level and finding out that I was borderline diabetic. I was determined to get in better shape and change the way my lazy lifestyle was causing other health problems.
After the first couple Shape It Up Boot Camp classes, I thought I was too old to do this. I thought about quitting but I continued to go to class. I was doing a little better each week. Nicole would not let me shortcut any exercise because I was tired. Boot Camp is not easy but after the hour is up, the rest of the day I keep going and I do not think of sitting down or napping like I did a couple months ago.
I looked forward to each class and I tried to do a little more each class. I have more energy every day and I have a new outlook on buying my food and eating food. I have lost 11 pound. I am so glad that I joined the boot camp.
Thank you Nicole for you patience, persistence, and caring.
