Bitter / Sweet

We're gearing up for the PT Test the end of next week.  While it's been a fantastic camp, we're really kind of sad to see it end.  It's bitter/sweet for us as instructors.  "Bitter" in the fact that we grow attached to our campers each month.  We've sweat & had "Kick in the Grass" workouts together.  We've laughed together as we've worked out in the rain.  We've push through our soreness together.  We've learned to care about & the long-term success of each person together.  We're a team and it's kind of sad to see it end. 

On the other hand, it is "Sweet" since the end of camp also brings the final PT test.  As instructors, it's what we look forward to the most.  When all of the hard work, the early morning or after-work workouts, and consistent log book entries come together for one last team workout.  It's pretty cool to see how surprised each person is that they have obliterated their initial PT test just 4 weeks earlier.  It really goes to show that with a little effort each day, you can move mountains & do things you never thought you could do before.

We've seen some pretty amazing results from only 1 month of Operation Boot Camp.  Troy lost 16 lbs.  Gina lost 2" in her waist the first month (total of 5" now).  Jorge can now wear Ashley's workout pants! 

It's exciting and amazing how OBC works.  But the real improvements come from back-to-back camps since you build on the month before.  As this camp nears the end, we're hoping that we don't have to say goodbye to our new found friends, but can continue the experiences we share together with another camp!
