Starting Body Fat%: 34%
Before I decided to join Angela and Claudia’s Group Figure and Bikini Training, I attempted SEVERAL diets. Pretty much every crash diet imaginable. It even became sort of a joke among friends to say, “What diet is Olivia doing now?!” I even tried good ol’ working out and (what I thought was) healthy eating. However, I would work my butt off with no change…I even watched my weight climb back up!
So, here I was 26 lbs. heavier after dropping 40 lbs. on HCG. Fatter than ever…no hope…almost accepting that this was how I was going to live the rest of my life….blood pressure meds, too tired to play with my 2 young daughters…not exactly the role model I was expecting. At my lowest weight (post kids), I was still embarrassed to wear tight clothing. I was skinny fat. Muffin top. Jelly belly…you name it! On top of all of this, I knew that I had a very unhealthy relationship with food.
Then, I stumbled upon a picture….I never knew how much that picture would impact my life. What picture you ask???? It was the advertisement for Angela and Claudia’s 12 week transformation. I carried the LVAC magazine (which still sits on my nightstand for motivation) with me for about a week before calling. I spoke to Angela to get the details and knew right away that I had to find any way possible to get in that gym and get with these girls….I just knew there was something amazing there!!!
This whole journey has completely flipped my life around. I’ve learned how to eat properly and enjoy….YES, enjoy it! I’ve learned how to work-out (and not feel intimidated by fit people in the gym). I’ve learned to watch my body shrink instead of getting hung up on the numbers on the scale. Most importantly, I was becoming the role model that I wanted to be for my girls.
Not only did I find a community that accepts me, encourages me, and challenges me, but I found new goals….better goals. Although I know that I have so much more that I want to achieve, I am going to also take the time to enjoy all the steps this far. I look forward to…and completely trust my trainers…and my new extended family to help me become my best!!! It’s wonderful to know that I have all this….from my 12 week transformation!!! Angela and Claudia ROCK!!
