 Before |
 After |
I’m not sure where to start this, as I feel like such a different person since first stepping into the studio last August. Participating in the challenge this winter/spring helped me push forward with my goals and helped me accomplish so much more than I could have hoped for.
I feel like every goal I set just keeps being crushed, and typically well before I thought possible:
I wanted to hit a size 8 before my 30th birthday on Nov 21; I did this in October.
I wanted to lose 20 pounds before 2010; I did this before the end of November.
I have my best friend’s wedding at the end of May and I wanted to fit into a size 6 bridesmaid dress – my dress is a size 4!!
During the challenge I was able to lose an additional 10.4 pounds, 8 of which was pure body fat lowering my body fat percentage 3.2% overall.
Since I started tracking in August I have lost:
3 inches off my upper arms
5 inches off my chest
7 inches off my waist
9 inches off my hips
7 inches off my thighs
2.5 inches off my calves
But the inches aren’t the only thing, my body looks leaner. My muscle tone is really starting to show in my arms, legs and abs and the motivation to keep my moving shows itself in the mirror each morning.
I also have a very strong family history of cardiac and vascular problems and was recently diagnosed with a hereditary vascular abnormality causing me to have narrow veins and arteries, which can lead to increased risk of heart attack or stroke. My best defense is a healthy lifestyle.
At my physical last week my physician was amazed at my weight lose from last year and how quickly I reduced my risk by bringing my height/weight ratio back into a healthy range. I know I’m my own best advocate and have the power to reduce my risk of complications later in life by staying healthy and fit now and moving forward. I feel so blessed to have found something I enjoy so much and works so well to kick me into gear. Bev, Maika, Luke and Pam are all so wonderful to be around you can’t wait for class. It’s just such an amazing place to be.
I have my next set of goals in place and know that regardless of what goal I meet or beat another awaits to take its place. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being in my life.
