Double dose of Monika ;)

So I decided to take Monika’s most challenging bootcamp a day after our last Fiona bootcamp. What a treat!…slightly painful but definitely worth it. One of the reasons why I decided to participate in Fiona’s Challenge was because I found myself reaching a plateau (besides the fact that I never thought our team would get picked). ‘So what the heck…it’s worth a try right?’ I thought.

I have been watching her teaching bootcamp from the sidelines for quite a while now, and never thought I could do the things they were doing. At the end, I surprised myself and now have some more faith in my abilities. And I have learnt to work outside my comfort zone. Even though I sort of looked like this at the end of the bootcamp, I felt amazing:
