Always the happy bookworm, I never stepped into a gym or exercised until I was 38 years old.  Consequently, although I have never been considered overweight, I was at a point where I was always on a diet eating less than 1000 calories a day in order to maintain my weight. I was always tired, and it took effort just to stand up straight.  NO, I AM NOT EXAGGERATING! This really is not ideal when you are a physician and have to see patients by day, and be a wife and mother of two by night. When I complained to my husband “Not now honey, I’m too tired,” it actually was the truth! 
So in October of 2007, I joined a gym and hired a trainer and finally knew what it was like to have some energy and be able to eat four to five times a day.  By the time my original trainer left the gym, I was feeling much better and had once again discovered the joy of something other than lettuce.  She referred me to Diana who has been my trainer, my persecutor, my psychologist, my pillar, and my friend ever since.  She brought me to BB3 where she watched my muscles grow and atrophy along with my waistline multiple times.  Excuses Diana has had to endure:

“I was on vacation.  How many times will I get to be in France, Italy, Napa- you have to enjoy the food.”

“I had surgery on my wrist.”

“I work.”

“I’m over forty.”

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

Then came the 90 day challenge, and Diana urged me to sign up and do the work once and for all.  I was skeptical since I knew I could never actually “win” since I didn’t need to lose a huge amount of weight. In this economy who wants to throw money away?

I succumbed to the pressure.  I paid up.  I trained.  I did the cardio.  I drank the shakes.  I ate clean.  I lost 3.5% body fat.  I lost 6 inches around the middle.  I made Diana jump for joy.

But truly, the best part of the challenge was being able to set and achieve a goal that I did not think was possible for me anymore.  I still can’t believe that I didn’t quit and I’m mystified by how much weight l can lift.  I have more energy at 41 years old than I have ever had, and I can stand up straight both physically and mentally.  Thanks to the BB3 family for setting an extraordinary example for me.  Thanks to Diana for inspiring me, pushing me, and believing in me.
