Great Friday to you! Week 1 of Two-Thousand and Eleven is nearly in the books and you’ve got a great jump start on your new years’ goals / resolutions and an even bigger one over people who have yet to get started. If you’re anything like me, you L-O-V-E being the minority and having the path of least resistance when working towards your goals. This means whatever the majority is doing is often times not what you want to be doing. Often times what the minority is doing is what you want to be doing and what you are doing.
You’ve not only set health & fitness goals, built exercise into your lifestyle, but you’ve scheduled it into your lifestyle. You found a coach to guide you, a team to cheer you, an environment to empower you and a program that yields results. You may even have taken it a step further and become a change maker yourself by building your social support circle by inviting and giving the love of an active lifestyle (or happy hormone high) to your partners, family or friends. It isn’t easy, but neither is boot camp and neither are challenge days, but when you do tough things, you GET TOUGH. And you’re getting TOUGH. Time for the week 1 recap.
This week’s agenda:
- Rookies / Returning Boot Campers
- Cardio Minutes
- Weekly Themes
- Guest Day
- Nutrition Discussion & Grocery Shopping Tour
- Inspirational Story
- Last Chance at Surveys
- Ask Mike

Nutrition Discussion & Grocery Shopping Tour
Sunday, January 16, from 10-12pm will be the Nutrition Discussion (ND) and Grocery Shopping Tour (GST).
The ND will be from 10-11am at the Boys & Girls Club. Class starts @ 11am sharp. Plan to be there 10 minutes early and bring your nutrition handout.
If you’re personal goals are to prevent disease, look better and/or improve your performance you NEED to learn and MASTER nutrition. If you don’t, you’re just spinning your wheels in the snow, while trying to out-train a bad diet.
The GST will be from 11-12pm at the Stop & Shop on Watertown St, Newton, MA. (you’ll learn how to navigate grocery stores efficiently and have the opportunity to prep your own meals from a pre-planned weekly meal plan)

Inspirational Story
“Dear Mike,
So – yesterday I turned 51. The day before yesterday I skied down The Chute, a
black diamond trail at Mad River Glen, a trail I’ve skied many times over the
years. Except this time – at age 50 + 364 days – I skied down from top to
bottom without stopping once – and without panting and without burning thigh
muscles. I’ve NEVER done that before, never – even in my 20s. (And not many
other people do either.) I’ve skied my whole life, down many different black
diamond trails and have never been so strong. It was so exciting and I was so
psyched! And realize it’s all due to you and boot camp so THANKS!!
I’ll see you Monday, Jan. 3. Happy New Year and thanks again!
Best,
Carol Gray”
