Because Angela had a few good friends who had worked with Deanne (Ann and Cassie), she had a very basic understanding of what she might be getting into. Her auction lot included 10 weeks of 2-3x/week Boot Camps, Recipes and Body Comp testing. It wasn't until she got into it that she realized how "life changing" this new plan would become.
A bit of background...
After each of her pregnancies, Angela was able to get her weight down by trying different "diets" and/or working out. About four years ago, however, she went back to work and found little time for working out or healthy eating. (Until January 2011 which brought on a significant change for her.)
How did she do it??
With the Forever Fit 4-2-1 eating plan and the 2-3 boot camps/week she was able to get the jump start she needed. Within the first week or so she immediately noticed having 2-3 times more energy than she had experienced before. She feels that it was due to the fact that she was eating whole foods, a lot more veggies, healthy carbs and very little sugar. She felt her meals were a lot more balanced and she loved learning about putting different healthy foods together.
What she likes most about the Forever Fit Lifestyle...
1. Not having to plan her workouts; knowing that Deanne will make sure she gets an all over killer workout!
2. The combination of good nutrition and exercise...D Y N A M I C combo!
3. Exercising outside rather than in a stuffy gym, amen!
4. Having others counting on you to show up and encouraging each other to work hard, uh huh!
Advice and Insights...
1. Keep it simple; don't complicate or over think it.
2. Angela kept rotating between 2 or 3 different dinners and lunches and snacks so that it was EASY.
3. Keep it in perspective...At a recent boot camp Angela found herself running around a course carrying an 8 pound medicine ball which was getting pretty heavy and then half way through the cones she thought to herself, "Hey, I just lost 2 of these!"
