Omigod, just realized this is it, I won't be here with all these lovely women anymore- it's over! I slept really badly as real life kept intruding in my dreams, and thoughts of emails and deadlines frustrated me, waking me up every hour. The final run was more challenging than usual as we started further away and I pushed myself harder than I ever had, which meant water was swigged at an alarming rate.
Then its' time to pack up and wait for the weigh in and I'm nervous and impatient all at once. We're told not to drink anything before we're weighed up, so I keep myself busy by having long goodbyes with everyone and exchanging emails and promises to keep in touch. We're told that we can keep in touch with the camp staff if we want help with our training programme or to change our diet plan which is lovely, and there's also a very active online forum on their site.
Finally... the weigh in. Bolstered by scream of excitement I prepare myself for the scales and tape measure. The two ladies in front of me have lost 20 pounds between them (one 9 and one 11) so I'm excited and anticipatory as I find out I've lost... 2 pounds. 2 freaking pounds?? After all that torture. To put it lightly I'm pretty disappointed. But then I have the body fat test and I've dropped 7.6%. Wow. And as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat.
Measurements are taken next and I've lost 2.7 inches all over, with the most noticeable being my waist which has gone from 26.5 inches to 24.5 inches. Ooh la la. OK, I'm still a little sore I didn't lose more, but I'm feeling pretty confident.
The after some more tearful goodbyes it's off to the station ad back to reality- first port of call, chocolate or the gym?
I'll keep you posted on my maintenance in anther post, but for now I'm all bootcamped out.
