Sunday was our second group meeting, and I am pleased that Jennifer Pelot Rysewyk, one of the Milwaukee Moms’ winners, has agreed to give you an update on her experience so far. – Read on! Coach C.

When I entered and won entrance into the SLAM BAM Challenge, I had no idea what I was in for.  I certainly had no idea that I’d be waking up at 5 am, gagging down a protein shake, and getting myself to boot camp on time every weekday morning.

These past 3 weeks have been intense, to say the least.  I went from eating whatever I wanted, and calling going up two flights of stairs to my office my “daily exercise”, to working out harder than I have since high school and eating an extremely healthy diet.  After just 3 weeks, I am still struggling because I know just how far I have yet to go to reach my goals, and it really scares me.  But I’m also enjoying being able to see accomplishment and success in every day. 

Each day the healthy eating gets a little easier, I am a little bit stronger, the intensity of it all scares me a little less, and I find I'm becoming a happier person than I’ve been in years.  It’s so much more than I dreamed could happen in just 3 weeks.  I can’t wait to see what happens after 3 months!
