Before the Boot Camp with Sione and Filipe, I hadn't worked out for probably around 4 - 5 years. On the first day of the Camp, when I started the workout with the cousins and the rest of the participants I couldn't believe how difficult it was. I can only describe it as grueling. Although my mind was determined to continue, my body was screaming at me to quit.
As I lay in my bed after each of the three days, I knew that I wasn't going to give up, but still that was exactly what I felt like doing. I had to keep telling myself that my mind and my will were strong enough to do this, I just had to catch my body up to my mind. Each day, whenever I felt like giving up, I would remind myself that my journey had truly begun and any step forward, however small, was better than a step backwards.

Great job brother! You've been there done that, you know what it takes and I have no doubt you'll succeed. after all, pain is just discomfort leaving the body..haha! Anyways you have already created a habit of succeeding in your life in different areas, now your just applying it to other areas you've left alone for a little while. Ofa Atu Bro..Sam Katoa
ReplyDeleteOscar, keep up the great work! I was at the bootcamp in St. George and it was Awesome and you truly are amazing! I have been telling everyone I know about the experiences that I had during those 3 days. I am playing red light with a group of youth later this month and know that they too will be inspired to focus on what is important in their lives. I want to thank you for the ispiration you gave me to focus on me for my family. As a mother that is difficult because everyone else seems to come first, since April and a big boost from BCamp I am almost to my goal weight! I have lost 20 pounds and almost 2 clothing sizes! Thank you Again for everything and Good Luck with your Journey! (I will keep following)
ReplyDeleteOscar,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for bringing Filipe and Sione to St. George. Having gone through that boot camp made me realize that I can do anything I put my mind to. I didn't think that I would be able to make it all 3 days with those two. Especially after having donating plasma on one of the days. They pushed me through and knew that I could do it. It is awesome to know that there are still people like that in the world and you Oscar are one of them as well.
Thank you for all you do for the community here in St. George!
