It has officially begun - the
journey of a lifetime for the MABC (Milwaukee Adventure Boot Camp) Slam BAM Body and Mind Transformation Challenge
contestants. Ten local Milwaukee ladies decided it was time to REALLY get
serious about making their health and fitness a priority in 2009 - oh yeah and
to change their bodies AND minds!
On March 8th, we met
informally to do weigh-ins and measurements. We discussed the many things each
contestant should expect over the next 12 weeks, answered questions and
consoled fears. With any big decision,
there is fear and anxiety involved...
- Can I do this?
- Am I strong enough?
- Do I have what it takes to
really change my life?
- Am I too old, fat, out of shape
to make these changes?
We heard it all at our first
support group meeting and discussion. All the contestants left that meeting
with a customized meal plan in their hands and were feeling empowered, excited,
hopeful and ready for the next challenge (the first one of course was the
"before" picture taken that first day)!
Fast forward three weeks as we
prepare for our second weigh-in this coming Sunday (3/29).
We have already had many contestant
successes including: losing three pants sizes, gaining more energy, sleeping
better, and experiencing less food cravings than ever before. Can you believe
it? In just three shorts weeks, lives are already being changed for the better.
But we have just scratched the surface Slam BAM followers. Just wait!
I tell the contestants to trust
the process - if you do and you EXPECT great results, they will happen. As my
grandmother (she is from West Virginia)
would say...."hide and watch and see what happens!"
Until next time -
Coach C
