It’s June already. I mean, not to be that person who wakes up on the first of every month and is like “Oh My God It’s June Already?!” but seriously, “Oh My God It’s June Already.”
Which means – we are half way to Christmas and half way to Summer holidays and shorts and bikinis and all those things that make me want to run (ironically) and hide under the closest Krispy Kreme delivery vehicle.
Today marked day 1 of a 4 week transformation challenged that Barry and I have signed up to (read:I signed up to and convinced him to do because there’s no way I can do a month of detoxing all alone. Not with the way he downs chocolate and curry). And it’s needed hey – a little step on the scale this morning revealed that I am a mere 3 kilograms away from full term pregnancy weight. Hideous! I blame eating all the feelings and the fact that my feelings taste like macaroni.
So, if you too are reading this, nodding your head and side eyeing that pie in the other hand, I have some good news.
Firstly – you probably look beautiful, but secondly, if you want to be beautiful in a size 8 pair of jean pant then I am giving away something which just might make you feel better about the future of fat.
You’ve probably heard of ‘Adventure Boot Camp for Women’ which is SA’s largest outdoor fitness programme for women. ABC is an outdoor exercise plan that offers workouts for women, fitness instruction, nutritional counseling and motivational training packed with fun and energising activities designed to help you reach your fitness goals.
They are running their annual 40 Day Challenge which is South Africa’s biggest outdoor challenge for women. Ladies across South Africa partake in boot camp for 40 days, Monday to Friday. The ladies involved are also supplied meal plans from accredited dieticians, Clicks physical assessments and stand a chance to win weekly prizes from sponsors such as Garmin, MovePretty, Puma and many more, including the chance to win R10 000 when they sign up and another R10 000 on the completion of the 40 Day Challenge. On completion of the 40 days, ladies are rewarded with a luxury hamper filled with exciting sponsor products. An amazing package!
The 40 day challenge is running from 19 June to 11 August. Yep, slap bang in the middle of Winter. Which is exactly when Summer bodies are made, right?
Even better, ABC has venues all over South Africa and with over 100 locations to choose from, there’s bound to be a class near you.
I’m going to be signing up to the classes as soon as my 4 weeks of hell detox is over, and am really exited to be training in a female only environment – not a single silver back ‘gym oke’ in sight!
So, today on the blog, I’m giving one lucky lady the chance to win an entry for the 40-day challenge. Valued at R6000, it’s the perfect gift you can give yourself this Festive fat season.
All you need to do is make sure you are following this blog and have liked Rupert Approves on Facebook. Then, leave a comment below about why you’d like to win this competition. You can also enter on behalf of a friend – simply refer them in your comments below.

Man alive, this is exactly what I need!! I need to get this booty in shape like yesterday 😉
Entering for the fat friend that sits on my ass. She is literally made of fat and I would like to get rid of her. Her friendship makes me hostile.
Holding thumbs!
Awwww Kate , I definitely need this in my life ! , Im still trying to get rid of my pregnancy fat and my second kid is 4 already ! FML! being a working mama is so damn hard and I think I need to do something for me now !!! so please please choose me !
Love your Blog! Would love to try the 40 day challenge. I have 2 babies under 2 and I’m still weighing my heaviest pregnancy weight. No more excuses, it’s now time to get fit and fab!!!
I totally need to win this because everything else has sucked so far this year so not having a fat ass come September would rock
Hi Adele, Congratulations on winning the competition! I will be in touch soon 🙂
Heck, if I was younger I’d be there in a flash, but instead I’m having hot flushes, almost like detoxing ?
Think this is the right place to place my comment
My reasons for wanting to win the adventure boot camp is motivation from my fellow females.
I was fit and the I started gaining weight and lost motivation because nothing was working. Now I know why and would like to be leannand mean before I set a wedding date
Awesome blog Kate
After my renovation ~ I need a new goal. And falls inline with #theroadto40 Also I need to eat properly again and this would help …
OMG, this is just what I need! I have become so embarrassed of my body that I even decline invitations or make excuses as to why I can’t go here or there … I don’t want people seeing how the weight has crept up. I have 20kgs to lose, and I know I can do it, I just need guidance.
Yes, please! I am heavier now than when I was pregnant and just fell bleh about it :-(. My weight is affecting all areas of my life at the moment (and not in a good way) so I need the extra help. AND…. June 7th is my birthday so what a treat winning would be. 🙂 Holding thumbs.
I’d like to win this comp because I would like to have the opportunity to be the best me that I can be. I believe that one creates their own reality, and by working hard, nothing is impossible. This would lead me to be happy with myself, and gain the confidence that I undoubtedly need. Holding thumbs 🙂
ABC Boot Camp is awesome and it’s so hard to stay motivated at gym so with Adventure Boot Camp South Africa you have a great fit fam movement and stay encouraged to work out even when it’s cold and you don’t really feel like getting active
I would love to win this, as i would like to get in shape for my wedding.
I would really love to win this i have followed the ABC page religiously but due to one income at home i cant afford it. I feel this challenge will help me lose the last few kgs of baby weight and keep me motivated all winter
I would reallh love to win this. I folw the ABC page religiously but due to one income at home can’t afford to pay for their classes. I believe this challenge will help me shed the last few kgs of baby weight and it will help me stay motivated throughout winter.
I’d love to this simply because I enjoy staying active and being healthy & fit.

Winter has hit and all I do is hit the pillow and crawl further under the blankets as my “gym” alarm goes off every morning!! I am in Desperate need of some amazing get going, sweating till I glow, motivating outdoor group activity to get a new me through this cold lonely winter!!! Ps I’d love to fit back into my “skinny” jenas again ha ha

Group exercise is the best for motivation and I need some of that STAT. Thanks to a demanding job, I also need some ‘me’ time, and exercise has always been that for me. Plus, I wanna look sewps hot for my bday in July. 😉
OMG!!! Firstly you are absolutely hilarious and secondly this is exactly what I need to kick start something amazing… Please please pick me!! Xxxx
This is amazing and exactly what is needed 😀 I gots to get this body wedding ready for next year, and this would really help in achieving my body and healthy lifestyle goals!
Hi Kate! What an amazing prize, I’d be super keen to win this. Summer bodies are definitely made in winter so what better way to do it than with a group of like minded ladies? Here’s hoping my Irish luck comes through for me.
Leanne
I have like 45 days to go till I have to go and stand alongside beautiful, bronzed bodies in Portugal. Feeling less than motivated, I could really use something to kick my ass into gear!
Hi Kate! Awesome blog! Would love to win this. To get my myself in the best shape of my life and to proof to myself that I can do it! I want to look and feel fabulous!
I had my baby 8 months ago. I have been struggling to lose the weight ever since. Breastfeeding makes me super hungry so I feel like I am getting fatter instead of losing weight. I am depressed and angry, I try to find some routine but it’s near damn impossible. I need some kickstart to help me get going. I can’t really afford a personal trainer so this is the ideal present for my fat season! I just need to get back to where I was.
