"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!"
