Guest blog by Transformation Tuesday bootcamper: Angela Serverinson
Ok Derek here we go….. I started boot camp about 5 months ago because I needed something in my life that I could try to be consistent with.
I hate this pic because of how fat my face looks. This was taken 1 year ago.
I was constantly seeing posts by my good friend Alice Monteleone about boot camp and I decided to give it a try one day with a two week trial for $1
I didn’t even know where it was and I actually went to the old location! I had to walk in the office and ask where you are located. I ended up there that evening for my first workout with a good friend of mine Coy who had heard about bootcamp from a co-worker.
After working out the first day, I was very humbled by how difficult it was because I have worked out my whole life!
I did spinning for years and I did kickboxing and all kinds of stuff, but over the past 4 years I had gained about 40 pounds.
I just was not able to get the weight off or be consistent with anything.
Discovering bootcamp changed everything.
You’ve not only helped me to stay consistent but, with my nutrition so much too.
I actually became one of your accountability clients because I was afraid that I couldn’t stick with something and I didn’t have faith in myself . That helped me a lot. I completely changed the way I eat. I’ve cut out soda and all processed foods.
The FitBody private training group is also a major part. Sara and Rich push our limits and expect nothing less from us. I never thought I would be lifting with such heavy weight…at 43 years old!
When I started boot camp I had the intention I was only going to go for the summer.
Having two children and being a soccer mom and homework I did not think I would be able to keep up with it during the school year.
But, I became so addicted and loved it so much that I knew that I needed to make it work no matter what.
Actually my kids love it. They are very proud of me. They tell me all the time and they love coming with me… so, we as a family have made it work!
I tell people all the time about how boot camp can change their life in more ways than they would ever know.
I can’t forget to mention the boot camp family and how they all have helped me through this journey. I wouldn’t be here without their support.
I think my self esteem is better than its been my whole life.
Not only because I have lost body fat and weight but mainly because I am doing things in the gym I never thought I could do. Feels great at 43. Lol
My personal goal is to get down to about 12% body fat.
I just wanted to make sure everyone knows that being consistent was always my biggest problem but, now it’s not an issue at all with the boot camp family and all the support from you, Rich and Sara
Here’s an update on Anglea’s fitness journey:
1 year and five months from the start of this journey I did something I never thought I could do.
I stepped on stage with 5 inch heels and a bikini.
To some this may seem minor but to me this is an accomplishment of a lifetime. This is an example of how much confidence I have gained since becoming fit and healthy.
My first show was an experience I will never forget. The support from everyone was humbling.
I will do more shows and plan to get better with each. My goals for now is to increase muscle and strength.
I look forward to many more great things to come from this new way of life.
Thank you again.
