Bikini Bootcamp



Recommended Posts

hi everyone,

i just want to share about one of the best vacations i've ever had.

i wanted to jumpstart my exercise program/weightloss. i looked into an "ashram" but that was too hard core for me at this stage

i went to a place called "Amansala" in tulum, Mexico (you fly into cancun). it is a program called "Bikini Bootcamp". at first the name intimidated me.....as i will probably never wear a bikini again. but it is anything but initimidating

it is a rustic camp that holds up to 17 campers. the small amount of people allows it to help people develop really nice relationships within the 6 day program.

the day starts with a morning walk on one of the prettiest beaches i've ever been on.

meals are soooo healthy and delicious. they are prepared naturally and are fresh.

the day is packed with classes, excursions, or if you want...free time to lounge on the beach.

excursions include biking to the ruins, snorkeling in a cenote, shopping.

it is hard to put into words how i feel today vs last saturday when i left stressed.

i havent weighed myself....but i am getting ready to meet my trainer. this program gave me the push to get my exercise prorgam in gear.

the website is:

food, drink and laziness. yesterday i felt great and my skin is clear from not eating junk.

Sounds wonderful...and relaxing! I would have been afraid to try anything with the word "bootcamp" in it. Good for you for giving it a shot.

Sounds glorious! I'm about to start a "bootcamp" through my gym in 2 weeks time and I think it will be a fair bit more hard core than that!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
