Nicole's Fit Chick Transformation!!
Let’s just begin this story by saying that Texas Fit Chicks changed my life! I have spent more than half of my life overweight. I never exercised, ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, and was just enjoying life while not ever getting on a scale to weigh myself and face reality.
In 2013 I gave birth to my daughter and had only found out my weight because of my regularly scheduled sonograms. I thought I would start working out after having her, but we all know what happens after we have babies. The last thing we want to do or have time for is working out. So months went by and I was still very much overweight, 250 lbs to be exact. I started going to Zumba classes in 2014 and did drop about 25 lbs over the course of a year, but I was still eating whatever I wanted (mostly fast food and junk food). I eventually plateaued and realized I needed to intensify my workouts and change the way I was eating.
In early 2016 I signed up to participate in the HEB Slim Down Show Down through work. At this time I also started jogging/walking at the gym and at the track at work. This was the beginning of a lifelong change for me. As part of the program, we were required to download MyFitnessPal. This little app opened my eyes and changed the way I would look at food for the rest of my life. I could not believe the amount of calories I was putting into my body. I started obsessively counting calories and I found myself avoiding certain foods because I did not want to put that many calories into my app. I had now taken a baby step to eating healthier food and noticing the types of food I was taking in.
Now I needed to step it up with my fitness plan. I saw a Groupon for Texas Fit Chicks in March of 2016. At first I was hesitant. Can I really do boot camp? Am I fit enough? What if I slow everyone else down? Why spend money on something I may not even want to continue past the first week? But I purchased the Groupon knowing that I would have to use it because I had paid for it! I went on a cruise in late April and gained 8 lbs. I came back from the cruise and started boot camp at the Texas Fit Chicks Westover Hills location with Jessica Luna the following week, May 16th, 2016.
My starting weight was 224 lbs. I have been going to camp for a little over 3 months. I now weigh 183 lbs and I have lost a combined total of 20 inches from my entire body. But this is more than just about the numbers. This is about how I feel. I feel sexy again. I feel beautiful again. I feel in love with my body again. I feel energized, motivated and determined to grab life by the horns and conquer every day. I can work out in the morning, go to work all day, spend quality time with my husband and daughter in the evening, and go to bed feeling accomplished and ready to take on the next day! I know that I am now on a journey to a healthier happier me and I am enjoying the ride. I am here to tell all you strong beautiful women that it can be done. It won’t be easy and it will take sacrifices, but in the end it can be done, and you will love yourself for it! TFC STRONG!!
