Heather’s Story:
This past March I found myself at 40 years old, weighing the most I’ve ever weighed in my life (174 pounds) and needing surgery on my neck to replace 2 bulged discs and needing C5 plated to C6 and C6 to C7. Turning 40 in October was hard enough, then needing surgery the following March was icing on the cake. Something needed to change. I was constantly depressed (even though I was taking anti-depressants), had no self esteem, no energy and no self worth. I had surgery on March 16, 2011. After surgery I was on a 5 pound weight restriction for 6 weeks and in a cervical collar 24/7. My weight restricitons were lifted to 5+ pounds every week thereafter provided my xrays were good. I decided that once my weight restrictions were lifted altogether that I was going to start eating right and working out. However, I was not going to set myself up for failure. I needed someone to answer to. So I started looking online for personal trainers. My husband has always been into keeping fit and working out, therefore, we have a ton of gym equipment in our basement (you’d think that would be incentive enough to be fit….nope. Couch potato was always more appealing.) So being as I had the equipment at home, I wanted to find someway that I could train at home. I came across HitchFit on Facebook, which led me to the HitchFit website. Hmmm…#1 Online Personal Training System. I started looking at the programs and all of the transformations that were posted, so I started looking into the background of Micah and Diana. Well, this was a no brainer. These were the people that I needed to contact.
I had my husband take my before pictures, which was a very frightening eye opener. I dreaded even emailing them to Micah. But I did it and never looked back. I soon was contacted by Diana. She sent me a good amount of literature along with my meal plan and weight training plan for the next 12 weeks. It was all quite overwhelming at first. I wasn’t new to working out in the gym, I was actually a member of a gym years ago and was familiar with weight training to an extent, however, not to the degree that was going to be required of me now. Nor was I educated on the nutrition aspect of it all. I was a one meal a day person, with whatever snack tickled my fancy at night while lounging on the couch watching TV. So looking at this meal plan and seeing that I had to eat 5 times a day felt like it was going to be a task in itself. Also, looking ahead at the weight training that was going to be required come weeks 9-12 almost made me tremble, lol. But I knew this is what absolutely had to be done, no excuses. I promised myself this was what I was going to do after surgery and I was determined to make it happen. And I couldn’t have asked for a nicer person to guide me. Diana never, ever made me feel bad about myself. She lifted me up from go.
I gave myself a week to study the material before I started the program and made sure I had my kitchen stocked full of the items I needed for my meals for the week. I started making Sundays my days that I prepared my meals for the week. I followed Diana’s advice like the bible. I ordered one of the whey isolate protein brands she suggested, bought a bottle of BCAA and L-Glutamine, stocked up on Fish Oil capsules and Flax Seed capsules, multi-vitamins and calcium pills. And so the games began!! The first couple of weeks were probably the hardest. It’s not easy doing cardio when you’re so out of shape and overweight. But as the weeks went on and as the pounds came off and I started to feel the benefits of proper eating and weight training, it got easier. Every week Diana had nothing but encouraging words for me, which helped immensely. I really stayed focused my entire program, even when I came up on my scary 4 weeks of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off sets of 8. I actually enjoyed this routine the most. It got to a point of feeling an enjoyable rush of strength and accomplishment when I would finish out of breath and dripping of sweat. And there’s no other feeling greater than looking in the mirror while you’re weight training and finally being able to see the muscle definition start to form. What…a…rush!!
The only setbacks I feel I’ve had over the entire program are my knees. After about the 3rd or 4th week my knees were feeling pretty sore from the cardio. I invested in knee braces (that I wear every time I workout & do cardio), cold/freeze wraps for my knees after my workouts, BioFreeze and Glucosamine & Chondroiton capsules. I even bought a high quality mini-trampoline to be able to do jumping jacks and other cardio exercises that would be easy on my joints. I still struggle with knee soreness, but I power thru it. I am following up with my doctor next week though, better safe than sorry ;)
I was my own worst enemy. My own mind and will power was the obstacle that held me back. I’m happy to say that I’m no longer on any anti-depressants and haven’t felt this great about myself since…well, I can’t actually remember. It’s been that long!! This is not a temporary transformation for me…this is who I am now, this is who I want to be. Going back is not an option…it’s full speed ahead. I cannot thank Diana & Micah enough for what they have done for me. They have given me my self worth back. They’ve taught me how to take care of myself and own it! What an amazing couple they are! Here are 2 people that practice what they preach and have devoted their lives to helping others live happier, healthier lifestyles. Additionally, they have this group of HitchFit trainers that are just as much devoted to helping others. Every single one of them are so inspiring and motivating. Diana has directed me these past 12 weeks and has given me the tools to continue to succeed, but I also know that I can go to any one of their trainers with a question or concern and they would happy to help me without question. I cannot say enough good about HitchFit…you all are truly amazing people and I’m so happy that I’ve had the pleasure of “meeting” you. I would love nothing more then to take a trip to KC and actually meet everyone. I hope that someday I can make that happen. Until then, I want to thank you all…especially Diana & Micah! If it weren’t for the two of you there wouldn’t be HitchFit ;) Keep changing the world for the better…you’re doing an amazing job of it!
Now, I have egg whites and avocado calling me, lol.
Much respect to you all!!
