Girlfriend Heather is getting fit with her girlfriends and bringing us along for the fun (and we don’t have to do anything physical except read!). Thanks Heather!

BOOT CAMP CHALLENGE – WEEK 2

Here we are again, the blog festival of Kate, Carole and myself back at Boot Camp.

Week One was all about acclimating and getting used to running again. It was miserable…but yet we’re all very glad we went.

Week Two was all about Stephanie beating the holy heck out of us! As someone that went through it before – this “week two” was more like a “week four”. It was HARD! We did an array of things – 500 squats, stations, weights, bands, running, running and more running!

But this is Girlfriendology – so let’s discuss the relationships. This week I’m going to highlight Carole and a very special relationship in her life.

Carole has two little ones and her little girl Marin has been following her mommie’s boot camp progress very closely. Every time Carole leaves, Marin says, “I want to exercise with Heather too Mommie!”

Well during week two, little Marin said “Mommie – I want exercise clothes like you!”

Yes – let’s break for a collective “AWWWWWWWWW.”

So they went out and bought exercise clothes for Marin and then they came home and she, of course, had to put them on immediately! Then they did stretches and went for a walk!

Now every week when I pick up Carole for boot camp – I’m not the mean lady taking her mommie! I’m fun Heather that takes mommie to boot camp!

It’s great to see healthy habits and exercise rubbing off on the younger “girlfriends” as well as the older ones like me!

So girlfriends, are you feeling out of shape and not looking forward to swimsuit season? Research shows you’re more successful if you make a commitment with your girlfriends. Together you can help, encourage and cheer each other on!
