Today's
Wednesday's Winner is long-time recruit, Kelly Fletter! Congratulations,
Kelly!
Kelly
first began taking Boot Camp in November 2011 at Halsey Terrace. She switched
over to the Hickam AFB course when it opened in January 2012, and has been a
member of the class ever since! She was also in the inaugural class of CORP,
the DumBell supplementary nutritional course. "I have lost 38 pounds since
joining Boot Camp. Thirty of those pounds were lost since I started DumBell CORP in April."

Kelly's
workout routine is Boot Camp twice a week, and running three times a week for
at least an hour. "On top of that," says Kelly, "I have an
elliptical, SPIN bike, free weights, medicine balls and bands at home. I aim to
do at least 60 minutes of home workouts each day. I put an extra large comfy
seat on my SPIN bike and put it in my living room so when I'm watching my shows
at night I have no excuses to not be on it. When I use the elliptical I am on
the highest level I can be and I push myself to feel the burn."
Working
exercise into her family's quality time is also important to Kelly. "We
will go on bike rides and hikes as a family outing and I have gotten my kids
into running. So far, they have completed two 10K's and numerous 5K's!
Sometimes they don't feel like running when I need to, so they will ride their
bikes along side me as I run. I'm trying to instill in them the
importance of being healthy and active!"
"My
main struggle in life has always been my diet," says Kelly. "I
started eating cleaner in August 2011 and noticed a difference right away in
just how I felt. Since I started DumBell CORP in April I have learned so
much! Eating clean and and managing portion control is no longer a struggle for
me. I learned so much taking that class with Christina and learned that I was
not eating the best I could. I thought I was eating well, but learned that just
because the label/box says it's healthy and good for me doesn't mean that's
always true. If anyone is struggling, or even if you are not, I highly
recommend that class. Knowledge is power and in the war of weight loss/getting
healthy/staying healthy, the more power you have, the better."
"All
the trainers are wonderful and I can't say enough good things about them,"
says Kelly. " I currently train with Alicia Palmer at the Hickam Boot Camp and she
is awesome! She is always encouraging me and letting me know that I can do it.
She brings a lot of energy to class and we love it. When I first started
Boot Camp, Alison Fournier was my instructor and I loved
her, too! Alison always encouraged me as well by telling me how far I'd come
since I first started class. Christina Landry has also been a big
inspiration. CORP was my first real interaction with her, but every week when I
weighed in she would tell me that she was proud of me and to keep up the good
work. Even when there was a week when I did not lose weight, she told me to not
let it get me down, and that she'd see me next week. These trainers and Boot
Camp gave me the confidence and encouragement I need!"

Kelly's trainer, Alicia, returns the compliment. "Kelly is such a superstar! She is ALWAYS the first one to class, and always has such a great attitude. She is definitely an inspiration to all the other recruits!"
WTG Kelly! You are awesome!!

ReplyDeleteOhmygoodness Kelly! That person in the first picture doesn't even look like you! I think the best part is that you've brought the kids on this journey with you. Their entire lives will be different because of what you are doing right now.
