The DUCK's Twisted Boot Camp - Worth it or Not?

Friday, July 30, 2010

Way worth it!!!
I truly loved the inspiration and motivation that the people in the challenge gave each other! It wasn't always about diet and exercise and that's OK. It is everyday life that makes our need to exercise and eat right take a seat on the back burner and we forget to turn up the heat!

With the challenge taking me back to the basics reminding me of the simple ways to exercise. This so helped me find things I loved to do and look forward to exercise once again.

Being in part of this challenge brought out the competitive person in me; which had been lost for a very long time! I loved trying to be the first to log in - in the morning and would hate to be anywhere past third! I tied to beat everyone else with the CP that the Duck or the Duck's right hand man- woops woman would set up for us to do!

Taking the time to get up early and developing habits that will take me further in life; this journey in which there is only one who truly know the outcome of! Learning to be more compassionate towards others is definitely something I have learned since starting on SP!

Each member of the challenge has been placed in a special part of my heart that well I know won't be lost! These are the DUCKS that I would love to run into someday!
The Duck herself is truly an inspiration to us all! Setting up a challenge of this caliper took time and a lot of thought and doing this all while moving into a new home, hectic work schedules and well just everyday life she is truly the leader of all us Duck Recruits!
Keeping us all focused; have you ever tried to keep a bunch of ducklings focused and together if not well it is almost a pointless task- she managed to support and chorale us all into a group of very different walks of life together! One of would stray fo a day or two and she would be out in seach of us- like the shepherd taking care of his sheep! It is funny what life can throw at you and yet after this challenge I am a BETTER PERSON! a FITTER PERSON! & yes a THINNER PERSON!


Let's get the Pond Party Started- shakin' those tail feathers right, left and around in circles!! Way to go on all the accomplishments of the team!

I AM SOOOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT DUCK' TWISTED BOOT CAMP CHALLENGE!

    Well said ... the Duck couldn't have said it better! And, thank you.

This challenge will go on ... and grow. Just as you continue to grow as a person and as a Duck Recruit.

B2B my friend.
