I have learned that the most important tool in the weight loss journey is a support system. I am so fortunate to have an amazing support system of friends & family. When I receive a text saying how proud someone is of me or to keep pushing on, it really encourages me and motivates me to do my best.
The really great part is that I have a great support system here. Everyone in the program is constantly encouraging each other. Giving high fives when we pass each other on the stairs during beach boot camp. We share our doubts, fears, ups and downs. And when you don't think you can go anymore, someone in the group says "come on let's push this last rep out." It is so motivating when you have a group of people who are cheering you through the pain.
There were multiple points today when I wanted to go back to my room to take a nap and skip our next workout. My body ached in every possible place. I was exhausted and had no idea how I could spend 2 more hours in the gym. But thankful, everyone here is so supportive and encouraging that you get motivated to show up and try your hardest. Somehow after spinning and 2 hours of beach boot camp, my roommate motivated me to go to the boxing & muscle max for the next 2 hours. Half the battle is just showing up. Once you are there, the music starts pumping and your blood is flowing you somehow get the energy to push it.
I can't thank God enough for my amazing friends and family back home and my new friends and family here in San Diego. Every single one of you is keeping me going. When I think I can't go one more step, I receive a text from a loved one that makes me know I can finish the day strong.
