My awesome elite drill instructor

I have now officially reached my halfway point of my 8 week Booty Camp adventure. Week four was full of new moves and of course the dreaded measurement taking.

After a few days of digesting the mid-point results I have to say I am proud of my progress. The progress not being the inches I have lost, but rather the progress I have made in my own fitness levels.

I am now actually able to do things I never thought I could do. Prior to this experience I never even attempted a full push-up I always just dropped to my knees to do the “girl push-up”. Now I can do a few full push-ups before doing the modified versions. Another recent highlight is now being able to do something that resembles a burpee rather than my “hopefully they won’t notice that I’m not really doing a burpee” move.

The best bit about this whole experience for me is Oksana, the instructor. Her encouragement and dedication is truly impressive. Love her emails as well – is so nice and refreshing to receive an email that makes you feel awesome about yourself. Thank you Oksana!

Oh and for those of you who are wondering what my four week results are I am happy to share:

-2 inches of the booty
-3/4 inches of the waist
-3/4 inches of the hips
-Chest stayed the same
-1/4 inch off the upper arms
-1/4 inch gain in the thigh which according to Oksana is muscle…

As I said in a previous entry, the next four weeks will be focused on healthier eating and cutting out the alcohol…Thanksgiving may be a tad difficult.
