Eating with a purpose

True healthy eating involves eating with a purpose. What are you eating and why? The foods that you select should be carefully selected and should possess the nutrients needed to over come some health issues and promote overall good health.

Sheila's Success Story

"Gaining weight was never a goal, it just happened. I got really lazy and didn't pay attention to what I was eating, nor did I exercise as much as I should have. I never pushed myself to change my lifestyle. My health was not a priority, and it showed by the weight I gained over the years. It was definitely a low point to have weighed as much as I did at that point in my life. I gained the weight consistently over a three year period.
  
My motivation to get healthy came when I was offered a new job. My job required that I be confident (speaking to others, testifying, forming relationships), and I found that I just was not confident in the way I looked, and that translated into how I felt. I knew I needed to change this, and exactly three weeks after starting my new job, I was able to find True Fitness Bootcamp. 
  
The exercise program that True Fitness Boot Camp maintains is focused on the body, and the mind. When I first started with True Fitness Boot Camp, I never thought I'd be able to do various things, like planks, burpees, or a lot of push-ups. I guess I was always afraid to try as I didn't know what I was doing. With True Fitness Boot Camp, the fear just went away. I quickly realized that with the proper mindset, and with a great support group, I figured there was no harm in trying. Months later, I now know I can push my body and achieve the results I want without a machine or with the use of weights.  Apart from losing weight, inches, and building muscle, the biggest goals I achieved were increasing my self confidence, and running a 100 miles in one month. It was a lofty goal but I did it. I was able to run 6 days a week, increase my speed, and finish my goal of running 100 miles in one month. A year ago, I never thought I would be able to do such a thing. But with the motivation of my peers in True Fitness Boot Camp, I did it!"
