I have always been a person who included fitness in her life. As a young girl, I took gymnastics and as I got older, I played team sports and was a cheerleader. In fact, my first high school job was working the front desk at Gold’s Gym! That is when my desire to be fit and healthy really began. I have always been a fit person, however it was not until recently that I have achieved a level of fitness that I have never been able to achieve before. In fact, as a 34 year old woman with 2 kids, I am in the best shape of my life!!! I owe this all to Michelle and her unbelievable knowledge of diet, exercise and her ability to motivate. Michelle and BB3 have truly changed my life!!
My husband and I joke that before I started to train with Michelle, I was a “skinny fat person.” Yes, I was thin, but not lean. Since I started with Michelle, I have lost over 7% body fat!!! I have lost 8.7lbs of FAT, How unbelievable!! For years, I was exercising (pilates, running, and spinning) but without the results. Training with Michelle and being apart of this challenge has motivated me to reach and attain levels of fitness I never thought possible! I look in the mirror now and see a person who is strong in both body and mind. I look in the mirror and find more positives than negatives about my body. I wear clothing with a new found confidence and have enjoyed having to shop for all new bottoms because my old pants are all too big!! I have learned so much and realize now that for so many years I was approaching fitness all wrong. Iwas not eating enough and certainly not enough of the right foods. With Michelle’s help I have completely changed my eating habits and I do not feel deprived at all. In fact, eating well gives me more energy and less desire to eat badly!
Enrolling in the 12 week challenge was fantastic! I challenged myself to work hard to attain the best results in a short period of time. This challenge taught me how to prioritize my life and make time for myself, not just for my husband and children. I have always been a person who thrives on challenge and this was no different. I jumped in head first and went all out. It was by no means easy. I did have some “bad days”, but those days kept me grounded and made me want to do even better. It is wonderful to realize that I am able to do whatever it is that I set my mind to. This challenge is proof positive of that.
Thank you Michelle for all of your help in my amazing transformation and thank you BB3 for finding Michelle Diaz and for running a first class training facility!
