Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary!

by Gretchen on February 10, 2011

Dean and Nancy, how do I love thee, let me count the ways… 50/10′s, 1500, 20/10×8…

I think it was fabulous of Nancy and Dean to share their momentous day with us, separately?! So, very nice of them to spread their love through our workout today. Did you feel it?

Do you FEEL the Love… NOW?!!

Where do you feel it? Assuming your answer is, ‘ABSolutely’ that you feel their love that is… Our Bootcamp workout was a little like the love story of Dean and Nancy. It’s story time, boys and girls? Here’s goes – Bootcamp Style!

Once upon a time, there was a girl who fell in love with a boy. They ran away and got married. They were Renegades. Rowing up a creek without a paddle, as fast as they could.They lived blissfully happy just Big Daddy and Big Mama. As the KettleBell Swings, Big Baby came along (or several Big Babies). As their family grew and grew, so did their bodies. They became Prisoners, Lunging for a piece of pie. They knew they had to do something, but what?

Then it hit them! The ATOMIC pushup! It was the blast they needed. All around them things stayed the same, they had to make a change. Get strong, get healthy. Was their love strong enough for the  Adduction of healthy foods? Could their love endure the Abduction of the not so healthy foods? They planned, they plotted, they stuck with it everyday.

IT WAS AWESOME! Just like a fire burning out of control… HOT! There were not enough Fire Hydrants to extinguish the flames of their desires. It’s still burning today!

And that’s how Nancy and Dean MAKE IT HAPPEN! Everyday! BOOTCAMP STYLE!

Love Conquers All!  xoxo!

Blog you later.

Who’s in Your Corner?

by Gretchen on January 21, 2011

You know what I mean… who is in your corner to pump you up, psyche you up, refresh you and send you back into the melee ring? Everyone needs a motivator. Someone to have your back when you aren’t up to snuff.

Jill and Karl have each other to keep on track, share their goals, and motivate each other. Just look at their results! They are inspirations to us all. Proof that change can happen. Dean and Nancy are another two great examples.

But what about those of us that live with lard butts that don’t see anything wrong with their style of living and eating. I get ‘I’ve been eating this way for 43 years, it works for me, so you can change but don’t expect me to’. Sound relatively familiar? Oh he’s not lazy by any stretch of the word, and his metabolism is to be envied. I really thought when he threw his first kidney stone ever… the size of an apple seed! (HUGE) he would be more amenable to healthier eating… not so much. His idiotic “Doctor” confirmed he didn’t need to ‘change’ his diet. Oh drat…

Well, here’s what a girls to do: find a motivator! Mine is Donna, tonight on the ride to Bootcamp she re-energized me, pumped me up, gave me ideas, we made a plan… lots of plans. I’ve slacked off a bit, lots of changes taking place and my eating has spiraled. One issue at a time, we hashed out the areas that need work. I now have a finance plan, a family chore plan, and an eating plan… so little time, so many plans! Now to implement them… might be a little tricky, but I’ve got DK(Donna) in my K.O. (knock out)corner. The fam will eat what I put in front of them or go hungry, their choice. I have to make a few changes again, make them habits again, and probably will again, and again and again. I’m good with that, always changing. Eventually, it will become natural and there won’t be any thought put into it.

So find someone you can share your goals, help you make a plan, be a sounding board, offer encouragement. You’ll get results!

And remember: “IF MAMA AIN”T HAPPY, AIN”T NO BODY HAPPY!”

Snow Days & Making The Rounds

by Gretchen January 20, 2011

Welcome to New England folks… a lil bit snow, scratch that- a bunch of fluffy white snow, don’t blink because now it’s rain, blink again (told you not to), and it’s now ‘back breaking’ heavy wet snow. AH-Yah tha’s New England. Although Bootcampers are like the mailman, neither rain/snow/sleet or hail, they will deliver. But, the [...]

The Finisher that Finishes YOU!

by Gretchen January 12, 2011

The Get Fit NH Bootcamp finisher… is supposed to finish you! Both last nights and tonights Finishers were not for the faint. Of course by the end, the lack of oxygen to the brain may have made you faint! It’s always a good class and entertaining at Bootcamp when someone ‘boots’ (their dinner) though Just kidding! [...]

by Gretchen January 7, 2011
