Making physical changes requires a commitment to change various lifestyle factors such as eating habits, sleep patterns and the right type of exercise.
A huge congratulations to Jessica on her amazing transformation! Here is Jessica's story;
In June 2012, a few months after
graduating University I was at my heaviest of 160lbs. I was always tired and
unhappy with how I felt and looked. I decided that it was time to really focus
on myself and make a lifestyle change. I started watching what I was eating,
not obsessing, but making sure that I was getting enough fruits, vegetables and
protein, limiting my carbohydrate intake and drinking plenty of water.
I started
exercising twice a week at the Live in Motion Corporate Fitness Program that Jason runs at my office. A few months after starting the program, my Naturopath suggested that I go Gluten Free. I have Hashimoto’s
which is a mild form of Hypothyroidism and tends to go hand in hand with Gluten
and Dairy intolerance's. After switching to a Gluten Free diet I saw a drastic
difference. My skin cleared, I didn’t feel puffy anymore, I had more energy and
I was losing weight easier.
In January 2013 I added two additional days of exercise to my current program. After a year of hard work I am down to 136lbs
and have maintained this weight for several months. I am still exercising to
tone my body, but I am much happier with the way I look. I have more energy, I
feel more confident, and most importantly I am healthy. There is no quick fix
but hard work, determination, exercise, and the right fuel for your body will
get you where you need to be!
