Before & After Stories

Regina Before & After

I had been neglecting myself for several years to focus on difficult family issues and by early 2017, it took its toll.  I was done putting myself last and determined, once and for all, to get into the best physical and mental shape of my life.  I started in March 2017 and made the biggest change to my diet by eliminating sugar.  Bread, pasta and desserts were daily staples that I knew I had to give up. I also gave up diet soda which was not easy. I replaced all of that with salads, proteins, nuts, eggs, vegetables and lots and lots of water.  I also knew that along with changing how and what I eat, I had to start moving.  I began with walking 3x a week and doing water aerobics 2x a week.   I started feeling more fit very quickly.  I was sleeping better, had a lot of energy and a clearer mind. Four months later I had lost 50 pounds and was ready for more of a physical challenge.   I had heard of bootcamp-type workouts and wanted to give it a try. In July I found Wendy and haven’t looked back.  Her workouts combined with the change in my diet have helped me shed another 53 pounds.  With her program I have gained muscle and strength, started running and building endurance and gained confidence to do things I never thought I could do like box jumps and 2 minutes of jumping jacks!  I’ve lost 103 lbs and my next goal is a 5k in 2018 and I know Wendy will help me get there.  She is supportive in every way and helped me get to a place I didn’t think was possible.  Thank you Wendy and my fitness family!
