What was your motivation? What inspired you to keep going, even when you wanted to give up?
2023 was an emotional and physical experience for me.
I decided to participate in a local The Biggest Loser Challenge. I applied myself and stayed consistent. Not only did I win the individual competition, but my team won as well.
Without the support of my teammates, my gym family, close family, and friends, I would not have made it through.
Maintaining a calorie deficit, drinking lots of water, minimizing eating out, training 6 days a week, and, most of all, mindfulness helped me stay the course.
Sometimes, things were so difficult that I was in the gym in tears. But I was there. I promised myself that I would not give up on ME and would not self-sabotage, which is something I’ve done to myself countless times.
But I was determined!!!
Fast forward to today, I’m in a better place mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I’m now a Certified Personal Trainer, and I’m in a position where I am helping others. And, to be honest, they are helping me.
I even managed to slim down more since winning the challenge.
Never forget where you come from. Like I’ve always said, I was/am my first client, and I’ll continue to improve who I am and who I am meant to be. I AM ENOUGH!!!
