We won the Bath Independent Awards

I don't make a habit of bursting into tears but recently I just couldn't help myself!Many people don't know that at the start of this year I had an emotional and financial setback at Zest Bootcamp that has taken a lot of energy and determination to get over.So on Wednesday when I was waiting to find out whether we had won the Health & Fitness category of the first ever Bath Independent Business Awards I was a little nervous/excited/scared who knows.All I can remember is that I kept refreshing the Twitter feed to see what the next category was to be announced.After about 10 mins into the awards I looked down and saw....the words Zest Bootcamp and I burst into tears (think I even started to hyperventilate a bit!)Yes we won!!!I didn't realise how much it meant to me until I realised that we had won.All the hard work, the pain, the sleepless nights, the worry, the knockbacks and well everything that has gone into the last 6 years, especially the last 8 months has been worth it.Infact what really matters is the people I help every day to feel happier and healthier but this was an important milestone to me to show that despite the bumpy road that life and business can bring, if you believe in yourself then you can and will achieve great things.And....I didn't care one bit that I was in a busy pub crying my eyes out - I was happy!I'm still smiling ….. what will you do that is uncomfortable but you know is the right thing to do?"If it doesn't challenge you - it won't change you"have a great weekendZita "crying with happiness" AlvesPs I'm actually still overwhelmed with the emails, texts, messages and support I have had from everyone in the last 24 hours - thank you all. If you'd like to find out more about Zest Bootcamp click here
