What inspired you to begin your lifestyle transformation?
For the past 20+ years I was constantly on a diet but nothing ever lasted and my weight went up and down but overall it kept going up. I never was able to find a way of controlling my weight for any length of time. I also had a lot of lower back problems and was becoming more and more sluggish. I used to be out for days in bed when my back would go out. I knew I had to strengthen my back and tried different things but nothing ever worked and I never stuck with anything. Patti asked me to join the team for the Inspirational Life CHALLENGE in May of 2013. I was hesitant but I decided to give it a try.
How did Inspirational Life help you achieve your goal?
Inspirational Life was the first time I ever attended an organized exercise regimen. But more than that, I found the emphasis on proper nutrition was unique. It was basically simple – eat right, make healthy choices and I didn’t have to stuff myself every night as I had been doing. Brian and Cathie taught me that it was ok to be hungry. I remember reading an email about “being hungry” and that was a good thing in that it meant your body was burning fat and was a normal, healthy occurrence. Being hungry was ok for a period of time-WOW-what a concept that was for me-but it stuck! The other major change was really attending the workout sessions strengthened my back a great deal. My bad episodes were greatly reduced and they were never as bad as they were prior to coming to Inspirational Life.
How have the results affected your life?
I finally feel like I have a mental and physical approach to a healthier and more fit lifestyle that is there every day. No matter what happens I have an mentality and approach now that works. I have to thank Brian and Cathie for their dedication to their Inspirational family and their ability to help me to become healthier in mind and body.
