After my post about learning to love myself again, a great opportunity came my way to win a month free of boot camp. Now the catch was I had to get as many people as I could to like the boot camp’s fan page on Facebook then leave a comment saying, “I love Adventure Boot Camp because of (my name)”. The most votes would win and be able to bring a friend to boot camp for free too!

Okay, I knew I had to win this! I asked everyone on Facebook to do this for me. My parents and husband rarely use Facebook so I had to login on their accounts to cast their votes. My greatest supporter with this was my sister. She asked her friends to vote and went crazy on liking everyone’s votes! I say this because she even accidentally liking other votes that weren’t for me. I even sent out an email to some close friends, bloggers, relatives and sorority sisters. It was amazing to see how many people took the time to vote for me. If you voted for me, thank you again!!

The next morning I received some comments and text messages from friends  saying they just announced the winner on Facebook and that I won! I was contacted by the trainer to set up an appointment for an evaluation. My mom really wanted to do the boot camp with me so I was more than happy to give her the “free friend pass” so she can do the boot camp with me.

We went in for our appointment and really liked the trainer! So now I’m really looking forward to boot camp that starts next Monday. I even considered the 5:30AM boot camp but knew I would never get out of bed that early so we signed up for the 6:00PM boot camp (4 days a week).

I’m using this opportunity to kick me in the butt and get a head start gaining will power to do this and lose weight. I have so much to look forward to even a 5K walk/run that I signed up for on April 9th!
