Weight for it

2018 has been a transformative year for my mind, body, and soul.

For the first time in my life, I have invested in myself.  I have prioritized my health and I have finally learned how to properly nourish and care for my body.

In the past, my relationship with food and alcohol was unhealthy.  I would binge eat and drink whenever I was happy or sad and everything in between.  I never thought about the consequences on my health.  I thought I was invincible.  

Eventually, my poor diet choices caught up to me.  In May 2018, I was at my heaviest weight ever, my energy was low, and I was desperate to change myself.  On a whim, I signed up for a 6 week fitness challenge with Fight Fitness and I had no idea what to expect.

Little did I know that I made one of the best decisions in my life.  Fight Fitness provided me with coaches, group training, nutrition plans, accountability, and so much more.  During the fitness challenge, I shed pounds of fat, gained muscle, and learned about nutrition.  After 6 weeks, I lost a total of 6.4% of body fat, 14.4 pounds, and went down 2 dress sizes.  I accomplished more than I could even fathom.

There were many moments when I wanted to give up.  It was an emotional battle trying to let go of my bad habits.  It really does take 21 days to develop a habit.  Once I passed the 3-week hump, it was smooth sailing from there.  My energy increased, my optimism was back in full force, and my perspective towards fitness shifted for the better.

I am ready to see what's in store for 2019!
