Success at last!

Well, bad idea. I got really dizzy after just one drink. One drink!! Insane. I can always hold my liquor. The next day I didn’t feel very well either. So scratch that idea. I called Matt about it. He said I was looking for the fine dining experience, not just a glass of wine. He suggested I ask for bottled water and have it poured by the server in a wine glass. What a great idea. I was mad at myself for trying to cheat. Consequently, I didn’t lose any weight that week. My fault I guess.

My next trip out, I decided to try his idea. Instead, I got sparkling water though. Oooh, those bubbles in the glass made me feel like I had a real drink. Then after adding enough lime to it, it actually tasted like champagne. You have to try it! The next curveball MOVFitness threw at me was a 5k race. They wanted me to register for a race in Wine Country. Sneaky, huh? They thought if I thought about wine country I would compromise and do a race.

I knew their tricks, but I wanted to lose the weight, so I took up their offer. I had made it this far so I wanted another goal. I started training on my own for this big race. Then with my trainer I would work on cross training. I felt like a star athlete. While my time wasn’t phenomienal, I didn’t place last either. I improved my time by 5 minutes over the course of 5 weeks. Then the wine tasting wasn’t near as rewarding as I had imagined it. It was worth it, though. I dropped 10lbs by the time race day started.

Ok, so I won’t bore you with all the details but to sum it up, I stuck with Matt and Rochelle for 4 months. During this time, my body went from a size 14 down to a size 8. I lost about 2lbs per week just as Matt said I would. My workouts with my trainer were amazing and I learned so much about better posture, core strength, and what HIIT was and so much more. They also took me shopping for new clothes, grocery shopping, and told me about recipes. This was an all-around full service company. I was even inspired to start researching fitness on my own and realized it was my true passion.

In my research, I realized how sheltered we are from true health. I joined a health company and am now a spokesman for them. I quit my job at the dance studio and started a new career in the fitness industry. I love what this has done for me and completely changed my life around. I want everyone to know that they too can take care of their health & well being if they have the right tools. Don’t listen to your doctor when he tells you about a thyroid dysfunction.

I’ve yet to fit into my size 6 dress, but I am still an amazing success story. I took my training on my own after leaving MOVFitness. I haven’t lost any weight since, but I have definitely not gained any back and I feel 100% in control of how I feel. I am now on the other side of the spectrum and am helping people see success such as I’ve seen. I hope you take the time to read Matt’s site which is full of information to get you to your goal. Check back because one of these days I am going to fit into that dress and maybe even something smaller!
