REBECCA
After 3 babies in 4 years and a lifetime struggling with my weight I finally decided it was time for a change. I wanted not just to lose weight, not just a diet, but a lifestyle change that would be permanent. At 33 years old I decided it was time to make exercise a regular part of my life for the first time. I have chronic pain due to fibromyalgia, asthma, 4 kids, a busy life and a million excuses to not take care of myself and find time to exercise but I decided the time for excuses was over. I had joined the YMCA and started to try new things but found that I felt confused about what to do and how to do it. I decided if this was really going to be a permanent lifestyle change, I needed to invest in someone to help me. |
I signed up for personal training with Kat and it has been completely worth the investment. With Kat's help in 3 1/2 months I have lost 27lbs and in just 8 weeks I lost 21" off my body! I lost 11 lbs doing the 21 day Belly Blast diet and found that eating clean has a tremendously positive impact on managing my fibromyalgia. I am down 2 full dress sizes and fitting into all my pre-baby clothes! I'm excited to to continue, not just to lose the next 50lbs I need to, but because I am amazed at how much stronger I have already become and want to see how far I can go! I know this is not a short term "fix" but the start of a lifelong journey to health. Kat has a wonderful gift, she is able to push you to try new things and test your limits in a way that helps inspire you achieve your goals. You know that Kat truly cares and wants you to reach your healthiest potential - physically, mentally & spiritually. "
This journey has reconnected me with a truth I have known but has been a struggle to live... my body is a temple and the Lord gave it to me as a gift, but it is also a responsibility. I am responsible to care for my body... eating healthy and being physically fit are ways that I honor that gift. My Savior gave His body for me, my body is not a gift I should take lightly and yet my poor diet and lack of care for my health was exactly that... me, not valuing the amazing gift of life made possible by the Lord. As I honor my gift, I have found that although my pains and physical trials have not gone away I have more strength both physically and spiritually to manage them better."
Thanks so much for all you have done for me!

"Oh and I forgot to tell you this morning... I tried on clothes on Saturday and I fit in to "normal" size clothes! As someone who has been in plus size clothing since middle school (other than a few years here and there...) it is a huge deal to fit into normal misses clothing! I am still on the edge and have a ways to go but it felt really good! I almost texted you from the dressing room :)"

"So I had to start yesterday (speaking about doing KATz 21Day Belly Blast again) - I looked at my calendar and there was no way I was going to manage the detox with our weekend schedule. First day down pretty well - This is definitely much easier now that I'm doing it for the 3rd time, instead of the first. I started at 171 and this morning was 169 - A number I haven't seen for 20 years. I've now lost 76lbs since I started in June 2012 and am 5 lbs away from being in the healthy weight range since I was about 9 years old! Thanks Kat Johnson for teaching me so much! Update, March 2014
