There are so many aspects of Extreme Fit Training’s Boot Camp that have enhanced my quality of life in the past few months. I’m getting into shape; I’m getting into a routine; I’m changing my lifestyle; I’m becoming a better role model for my daughter. All of these things are things I had hoped would change in my life when I signed up. What I didn’t expect was that I’d become friends with the people who were going through many of the same things I was (and still am) at that time.

As most of you know firsthand, facebook is an amazing place to reconnect with old friends, chat with current friends, and make new friends. It’s also a great way to keep up with what’s going on in people’s lives without actually speaking to them. What facebook has done for Extreme Fit Training is offer a valuable forum to grow and expand the brand, as well as keep Boot Campers informed about daily goings-on. So last night, as I was perusing the Live Feed on facebook, I noticed a comment that stopped me cold: “Who runs a mile with a BOSU ball over their head, competing with another team? Greystone Boot Campers, that's who!!! GO team!” Rachel’s Boot Campers (you all know Rachel, I’m confident) ran a mile holding a BOSU ball over their heads. Rachel’s Boot Campers ran A MILE with a BOSU ball OVER THEIR HEADS! This single comment sent a surge of terror up my spine.

An important thing (well, many important things, but I’m focusing on one in particular today) has happened to me since I began participating in Extreme Fit Training’s Boot Camp: I’ve become completely obsessed with calories. I’m not saying this is a good or a bad thing; it’s just a new thing for me. I mean, of course I know eating a big Italian meal and topping it off with a bottle of wine is likely more calories than I need in an entire day, but I love Italian food and wine, so I used to just accept that I wasn’t making the healthiest choices and move on. But now, looking at a plate of lasagna makes me sweat, and drinking an extra glass of wine has me waking the next day mad at myself.
