Suzanne's Daily Blog Day 70

'A BOOT CAMPERS JOURNEY TOWARD FITNESS"suzanne day 54

The end of the month and another week of boot camp and the

end of the month and almost the summer season.

How times flies and how today is feeling much more like fall than a hot August day.

Again, I did not want to get up as I am not getting the sleep I need but I had to go and wanted to go and as usual once I am there I am glad to be up and out.

We met at Owen Park for measurements and running/walking on the beach.

Remains of a Boat that crashed onto the rocks this summer were littered all over

the shore. Nice for them to leave that for us.

But the beach was still beautiful and the air crisp and the full moon still hung in

the sky while the sun was coming up.

Some of my measurements are down and some are up. The weight is shifting

and over all I've done very well. I can feel the changes and really notice them in everyone

else. It is nice to see and encouraging and makes me see that yes it does indeed take time -

so keep with it.

My doctor says yes I am in menopause - to which I respond -- ya-huh!!!!!!!

I already knew that but beyond that he offered no help or advice.

I did get vitamin D from Healthy Additions as mine is so low that even the store

person said how much better I will feel.

Next week is the sleep apnea test and I will send my blood test results to a

Naturopathic Doctor who will help me since the regular thinks I should just suffer through.

Hell no. Time to find another way.

Nisa sped away tom her up-island boot camp for the ubber rich and fit.

And I came home and chatted with my nice neighbor out in our shared back yard.

After a walk for Sadie and a quick nap I am now off to work. Glad it id not humid and

maybe I can get some sun this afternoon and help boost my vitamin D level.

Tip of the day:

Follow your heart and gut feelings. They are always right.

Quote of the day:

"Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike, each has their suffering.

Some suffer too much, others too little. Buddha

Have a great weekend. See you at Owen Park for the start of another boot camp!

Thanks Nisa,

Suzanne

Summer 2010 Testimonial "Renee"

Where to begin? My boot camp experience started out as a surprise birthday gift from my son. Being over weight and a few health issues, I thought ‘your time has come girl’! Get ready!

Well Monday came and off I went. Yes it was difficult. I could barely keep up with everyone! But I was adamant that I was not going to embarrass my son and let him down. By the third week I actually ‘liked’ it! I’d started eating better and I was enjoying myself. I loved how every day was different and how quickly these once strangers became my new support system.

By the forth week Nisa wanted to know who would be returning for July….”Oh crap!” was all I could think.

Now it’s up to me!

Do I want to continue? Can I continue?

I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror before Nisa entered my life. I can’t tell you exactly why this one time size 6 couldn’t get it together. ENOUGH! I HAD to do this for Me!

So I signed up for July! I’d already lost 10 pounds and 4 ½ inches in 4 weeks ! What could another 4 weeks get me??? I was excited for sure! I found things could still be hard, but easier too and I began to feel a little more confident.

“Find your inner warrior” Nisa says……Oh I’m looking!

Once again the end of the month came and Nisa wanted to know who would be returning. With my inner warrior so close I just had to keep going!

It’s August now and while it can be a struggle putting myself first, I’m so grateful for my son’s gift and for Nisa’s ability to get this girl ‘up and running’ again! Literally running! I still have pounds & inches to loose and stumbling blocks for sure. I just know I like what I see so far.

With Nisa’s boot camp you will find empowerment, encouragement, laughter, new friends and a smaller, healthier you!

“So get off your Ass and find your Inner Warrior! You deserve it!!”

Warrior in training,

Renee

"A BOOT CAMPERS JOURNEY TOWARD FITNESS"

The rain came last night.

It was the last night of the fair and the last night of the busiest week of the whole year.

Those of us who live here full time are done, tired, and ready to have it be over.

Long lines at the ferry, kids going back to school and soon we get our island back.

This morning the wind was blowing but only a few sprinkles coming from the sky.

Only a few die hard boot campers showed up at Owen Park.

The Hurricane Five we are calling ourselves: Marge, Holly, Beth, Ann and Me.

Nisa was glad to have us. Just resisting the wind could be a core workout today and

going up the hill was pretty easy being assisting by the wind pushing me up the hill while walking. It was nice to have some strong air and not be hot for a minute.

We did a mat workout inside the gazebo which was great!

My back was sore and my body tired from all the house cleaning over the weekend.

I feel good now and ready to enjoy this cooler blustery day.

I love the storms here. They are so dramatic and beautiful.

I have a great view of the harbor to really see the effects of this wind.

I'm amazed at how much stronger my body is becoming. It is a life long process.

One I am happy to do once I get up and out of bed.

It helped me hear that other boot campers are sore and found some of the

exercises hard this morning. I always think it is just me.

To the other 14 or so women who did not come you should have. It was fun.

Tomorrow we are at Ink Well Beach rain or shine. Bring your rain gear.

Possible walk around the camp grounds.

Let's be thankful for a little rain and not the flooding in PAKISTAN where

4 million people are now homeless.

Once I got home I had to go back out again to walk Sadie, my dog.

It was a sight to see four giant green dinosaurs on the back of a truck waiting to get on the ferry

which are still running at the time I am writing this.

A fair ride leaving til next season but it still gave me a laugh.

I'm still offering a boot camp special price for my facials if interested.

Get them while you can and while I'm here. I'm at 508-693-4550.

Have a great day. Stay dry and warm.

Tip of the day:

Almond Milk now at the Stop N' Shop. Better for you than dairy milk.

Great in tea.

Quote of the day:

"We all need to remember that there is always someone better off than we are and

worse off that we are and to be grateful for what we have and where we are" Suzanne

Thanks Nisa,

"A BOOT CAMPERS JOURNEY TOWARD FITNESS"Photobucket

End of another week of boot camp.

We met at Owen Park and did a workout on the dock.

It was a beautiful spot as the sun came up with the sail boats all around and

a view of the harbor. Today we had a break from Nisa who did not make

us run up the hill thinking that we all would revolt.... probably true!

Instead it was a nice muscle, stretching class which helped my aching back.

I had a hard time getting up this morning but as I was there I was glad that

I made the effort to be there.

We had a good group today. Many of us are leaving the island so today was the

last day for them. They will be missed. Funny how you get attached to everyone

in the group even if you don't know them very well.

Several of the boot campers are coming to me for facials which I am grateful for

as I love the work and helping people. Looking forward to getting more in

for the last few weeks I am here.

Also looking forward to going back to the chiropractor to put me back in place but will

be mindful to keep stretching all weekend - in between working.

I do feel myself being and becoming more fit. It is exciting. Some movements are now

easier and I feel the tone in my muscles. This type of change is so good for me and

I am grateful for boot camp and Nisa in my life.

It is still a struggle for me though, to be honest, but one I will just keep working on.

It is the third week of August which means it is the busiest week of the the whole year

for Martha's Vineyard. Planning extra time to drive is a must while having a sharp

eye and some patience too. It is hard for those of us who live here year round

to get used to the crowds. This year we all seems annoyed by them.... me included

but like everything....this too shall pass.

Tonight are the fireworks in Oak Bluffs. Already the roads are marked off and

people are claiming their spots on the park lawn. If you are local you know

what spot you like and get every year, or if you are lucky you may know someone who

has a house on Ocean Park Drive where you can comfortably sit in the porch and watch with a great view. If you are really local you avoid it all together or go to Bend in the Road

beach to see it from there. This I may do... not sure.

I have not been in the mood do anything summer wise this year.

Hiding out has been the key for me.

September is the time locals love as the crowds are less and the water is warm

and everything is still open. Time to catch up with friends that have been

too busy to do so.

In a couple of Mondays starts an 8 week boot camp that lots of people have signed up for.

That should be a good group.

When Nisa finger heals perhaps we can do another ocean swim class.

That was great.

The dock and class was wonderful today and I was grateful for the gentle movements

that made me feel good. It is just too easy to think that you want to stay in bed

so having this and making myself get up is good for me in many ways.

It may make the day a long one but also a productive and full one too.

I feel like time is speedy away and I have to appreciate and take advantage of

the time I have left here. Once I get some rest and I am not so tired having

some fun will do me a world of good.

Tip of the day:

Ue baking soda as a face scrub. Be gently, go in circles and wash off.

The tone, moisturize and serum is then the key to great skin.

Quote of the day:

"I am my own woman" Eva Peron

Have a wonderful and safe weekend.

Thanks Nisa,

Suzanne

"A BOOT CAMPERS JOURNEY TOWARD FITNESS"

Getting up today was hard as I am tired and achy but I promised Nisa and myself that

I would come today even if I could just only walk. And that is what I did.

The air is cooler from last night's rain and it promises to be a good day.

Tensions are high as it is August, hot and crowded and the President and his family are coming here today as well which means.... media trucks and more crowds and traffic.

Trying to be careful while driving and having patience for the tourist who are not careful takes all

we have right now.

The group was in a good mood as we met in Veteran's Park. The group did an obstacle course workout and I walk around the field with Gwen. She is from Pennsylvania too so we had

lots to talk about.

She struggles with health problems as well and with boot camp but she knows that it

is helping her and she is there doing it anyway. That was helpful for me to hear.

You never know people's stories and what they are going through in their own lives.

The walk did help my back and help me go forward in my busy day.

Nisa and I tried to go for breakfast but there was already a line out the door

by 7 am. It August!!!!!!!

Tip of the day:

Dressing up after taking a long shower makes you feel good for the whole day.

Quote of the day:

"Failing to plan is planning to fail" ????

Makes sense to me.

"Exercise makes everything better." Nisa

Tomorrow we will be at Owen Park.

Have a great day.

Thanks Nisa,

Suzanne
