Letter from Wellspring Academy

I just want to tell you that I feel great here at Wellspring Academy.

I keep losing weight every week and I learn something new and useful every day. Since my first day here I’ve lost 10 stone. My coach told me yesterday that if I keep being as consistent with my weight loss as I’ve been in my time here, then I will accomplish my goal, which is to lose 20 stone and be healthy.

At 7.30 am we usually go for a hike or a walk on the beach. When we get back from our walk or hike we eat breakfast at 8.30 am. We eat healthy food like eggs, yoghurt and oatmeal. At 9 am we do morning activities like basket or Zumba. I really like doing Zumba because I get to use my body a lot. Later at 10 am we learn to cook. Our cooking teachers are really nice and helpful. We make all kind of different healthy food, so we will be able to continue eating healthy when we leave the camp. We have lunch at 12.30 pm. Around 1.30 pm we have a break where we write motivating notes to our friends. I really like doing this because I get to help one of my friends losing weight and I also get motivated be the notes I get myself. It helps me a lot when I’m having a rough day. At 6 pm we have dinner and after dinner we do an evening activity. Often, we do a Scavenger hunt where we take pictures of items from a list the teachers have made. It’s bedtime at 9 pm.
