Kim’s Story
I once struggled with weight issues, body image and poor diet. At the age of 28 I finally had reached 177lbs at 5'55" and wearing a size 14. When I reached this weight I realized I had to make a change. I had to stop making excuses and stop being depressed about my ever growing waistline! Of course it was hard and I was intimidated especially since I had never worked out in a gym, picked up weights or heck even thought I needed to exercise. I had to do this for myself and I had to surround myself with others who would support me. Many times this is the toughest battle to a healthy lifestyle change, but the first steps are about changing you!
It was just 7 years ago when I first began exercising on a regular basis. Although this was a good start, I needed to learn more about nutrition and exercise to get me on my way to reaching my health and fitness goals. I have found great pride in the dedication, drive and motivation I have within myself to get my mind and body into such amazing shape, and I am proud of who I have become. As I have changed my life for the better it no longer is so exhausting and challenging to make it through an exercise. Remember I didn't get this way overnight and I was not going to get thin and in shape over night. Like I said it has been 7 years of thinking differently, making better choices for myself and not about fads, trends or starvation! If you lead a life where you are aware of what foods you are consuming 80% of the time, it's much less damaging when you do indulge.
A lifestyle change is not something you think about for short term, but rather something you think about daily just like brushing your teeth and getting dressed. It becomes part of you, part of your every day routine. It's not really self discipline, it's about desire, passion and need to be better, to feel better and to think better. What steps are you taking today to be a healthier you?
This is why I want to be there for you and guide you on your journey to be strong, be fit, be a better YOU!
