When Your Why Is Big Enough, You Will Find Your How....
Meet Jenn
This Tuesday I am excited and proud to share with you one of
my co-workers transformation stories.
She also was one of my first challengers. Initially, I posted to my
Facebook friends about trying my challenge group that I had planned to start up
in April. She reached out to me with an interest and jumped on right away. She
started with the 21-day fix on April 16th. If I were going to describe Jenn in one word I would say
determined. She had her eye on the prize from day one. She set a goal weight
for herself and has refused to stop until she gets there.
I should first tell you that not only does she teach health
professions at my school she is also a physical therapist and a personal trainer.
This woman is an expert in the field and knew exactly what it would take to get
to her goal weight. She is my calculator on all things 21 day fix related and always
has wonderful insight and advice for the challengers in my group. She has
posted every single day since we started and has truly held herself and many other
challengers accountable. The only time we did not hear from her was on her trip
to Mexico when she didn’t have any wifi. We missed her while she was away. The group felt much quieter and a little less
fun.
In the beginning I remember her being frustrated with the
workouts and the change that she had to make in her lifestyle. The first few
weeks were rough for her and hard on her body. I remember her questioning if she could even do the fix. I
was worried that she might quit in the beginning but something clicked and she
did what many struggle to do. She didn’t quit when it was hard she pushed
harder and reminded herself WHY she was here. She also had an accountability
partner, which helped tremendously.
To date, Jenn did 3 rounds of the 21-day fix and has now
begun to transition into phase 2 of Les Mills Body Pump. At the end of the day
I don’t think she will ever “leave” Autumns 10 minute ab fix. It is her
favorite ab workout and she still swears by it daily. Since Jenn is a schoolteacher
she now has had the summer to dedicate to losing the last bit of weight she has
been working to get rid of. I tease her because it has become her part time
job. She is working out LIKE a crazy woman!! In addition to doing Body Pump and
usually does 10 minute abs, sometimes Piyo and also usually a walk each day
that tends to near around 5 miles per day give or take. As you can see she is
DETERMINED!! Jenn now practices strict clean eating and like my other
challengers is a Shakeology addict. She was able to really get rid of her
sweets cravings and was able to replace that with the daily shakes. At the
beginning of the summer she signed up to be a discount coach to get her shakes
for a 25% discount. She is not currently “coaching” anyone other than the
challengers in our group. She said maybe when she gets to her goal weight she would
consider it. If she does decide to do this, her challengers will have one heck
of a coach!!
Her beginning weight was 168 pounds. She now weights 140
pounds. That is almost 30 pounds in 90 days!! She has also lost a total of 21.7
inches. Her transformation is amazing. She truly looks so much more happy and
healthier. Jenn you are beautiful inside and outside. Thanks for inspiring
others!!
