1 year anniversary at the Camp Transformation Center 🎊
Today is our 1 year anniversary w/ the Camp Transformation Center in Parma, Ohio. My friend Helene was posting in the Fall ’17 about this place and it kept tugging at my heartstrings to step out of my comfort zone and try a new workout place. I took a free class on December 30, 2017 and was instantly hooked. Carlena Jachna Upesleja decided to go for 30 days on my free buddy pass at the time. She was hooked herself and became a member. With a couples trip planned for Mexico in February of 2018, I took on the 6 week - 20 lbs. weight loss challenge that started January 8, 2018 and my final weigh in would be February 16, 2018 the day before leaving for our Mexico 40’s getaway. It was perfect timing! I didn’t lose 20 lbs. My final weigh out was 13.1 lbs. However, I was so proud of what I had accomplished. Consistently, going to class 6 days a week and faithfully staying committed to the Camp FTDI meal plan. In November of 2018, Carlena & I both took the members - 4 Week Accountability Challenge. (My start weight was only up 0.2 lbs from February of 2018.) The accountability meal plan was a little different and actually I love it. Carlena lost 8.7 lbs. and 5.5 inches off her body. She is still losing weight and toning too. For me, I lost 4.5 lbs. and 6.25 inches off my body. We were both so happy with our results. I took my weight measurements from my initial weigh in back in January 2018. This morning, I looked back on my very first weigh in on January 6, 2018 and then weighed myself and took my measurements today. Here are my final numbers. I couldn’t believe it!!!! I have lost a total of 21.4 lbs, 0.625 inches off my neck, 3.5 inches off my chest, 1 inch off my biceps, 3.25 inches off my waist, 3.5 inches off my hips, 2.375 inches off my thighs, and 1 inch off my calves. This just goes to show with hard work, determination, following a meal plan, believing in yourself and positive support, you can truly accomplish anything. Health and fitness have always been a passion of mine. Sometimes, we get comfortable in our relationships, don’t work as hard as we once did, and dealing with hormonal issues, I was on the struggle bus. For me, I was ready to get back on my grind, on quest to get real results, and be on a mission to be my healthiest. This is a lifestyle that I commit to living and feel amazing. A big thank you 🙏🏼❤️to my husband Antonio for always supporting me, to Carlena for taking this journey with me, to the Camp trainers Shawny Taysom TC, Johnny Relik TC, and Alejandro Natividad TC for pushing me and their encouragement, to Mel TC & Lauren LeeAnn TC for making the Camp an even better place, also your support, guidance, & paparazzi skills and to all the wonderful people that I have met at the Camp. My life is enriched with such a positive community. I thank my family and friends too for their support. And so the journey continues....Have a great day! 🙌🏼💓
