thank you thursday!

this extra special - middle-of-the-week - blog post is dedicated to the reason i created this blog in the first place.

the valley's biggest loser (VBL) program at P4L fitness in temecula, ca!
 
 
 
the 6th season is starting in a few short months and i wanted to share a little about my journey so that maybe some of YOU will want to kick-start your journies as well.
 
 
if you go back to my very first blog post, here, you will see WHY i started this blog. the VBL is dedicated to raising money for those in need while helping onesself get in shape and healthy. 
 
 
i truly had no idea what the impact on my life would be but i did know that it was scary, SO scary, because it was completely out of my comfort zone and i was doing it all alone, without a friend, or anyone i knew.
 
this blog serves as my mini overview of what happened and what changes occurred in my life but to break it down, i went from this:
 
 
 
to this:
 
 
 
in the 12-week program, then this:
 
 
 
afterwards, and this is me now, three years later:
 
 
 
 
needless to say, my life has changed for the better. i am healthy, i know the importance of food in one's life and how it affects mood/energy/life in general.  i am very aware of what my body needs to survive and what makes me feel good as opposed to what makes me grouchy/irritable/depressed.
 
not only that, but the valley's biggest loser introduced to me my best friend, krysta and her awesome mom, shawn. them and some other lifelong friends were worth it enough.
 
and last but not least, p4l fitness has now become my place of employment! being a personal trainer allows me to share what i've learned with others trying to go through the same journey. how lucky have i been to experience something of the sort!
 
if you're interested, or even questioning the program, PLEASE APPLY. i promise you, it is worth it even if you only reap ONE of these amazing benefits!
