Jody’s Story:
“I have been sitting here staring at this screen for what seems like forever trying to put this amazing journey into words. Part of the reason it has taken so long is because of the fact that I realize the world will now see my before photos. I cried in my bedroom floor for an hour after those were taken because I was so disgusted with the way that I looked!! Now when I see those pictures I see a very sad woman who had somehow lost sight of who she was over the years and who didn’t value herself as “worthy”. But, thanks to Diana and hundreds of miles of pavement passing under my feet over the last few months, I’m finding myself again!!

I should first start by saying that I started this program for the wrong reasons. I guess I thought that if I looked better it would “fix things”…. I’ve always had self image issues and have felt like an ugly duckling since I was in Junior High. I’ve been insecure with how my body looks and this has carried over into other parts of my life… Around week 4 my outlook on this program changed. I had just finished reading the HitchFit book for the third time when I felt the light come on inside. Suddenly everything became clear…. I finally realized that my life was not going in the direction I wanted it to. I realized that the only person that could make me happy was myself. That’s when the real transformation started!!!

In the beginning this program was very difficult!! It seemed like there was NEVER enough time in the day between working full time as an RN, being a mom of 2very busy boys, and being a wife. Taking time for myself is not something I was used to!! In the beginning I felt guilty taking time to myself to do my cardio and strength training, but it didn’t take long to find a balance! I found that I didn’t feel as guilty if I took time to myself at a point in the day when nobody needed anything… Which meant getting up at 4am to run before anyone in the house got up and waiting until the kiddos went to bed at night to do my strength training. On the weekends I would prepare my meals for the week and plan out my workouts. In the beginning it was hard to do all of the cardio and strength training… I thought I was somewhat in shape, but I was WRONG!!! I have always been a runner, so it was easy to chose running as my form of cardio. When I first started the program I ran listening to music, but as the days went by I realized that the music was distracting me… So off came the headphones! I think that helped me progress in this transformation even more. On my morning runs I was alone with my thoughts… I was able to clear all of the stress and jumbled mess from my head. Things in my life had gotten so stressful that I went out running one Saturday morning and didn’t realize how far I had ran until I heard my Garmin beep. When I looked down it said 5miles…. 5 MILES!!! That meant I had to run 5miles to get back home!!

Once I saw the pounds and inches coming off I was hooked! My weekly emails to Diana kept me motivated to stay on track…. As did her encouraging words and insight. I loved going through my closet every couple of weeks and watching clothes that had been too tight before become too big. I will never forget the day that my two sweet little boys were sitting in my bedroom floor as I was trying on my “skinny jeans”… They were both giggling like crazy and saying, “Momma, those are too big!!!”. So I had to go buy new “skinny jeans”! Imagine my surprise and excitement when I put on a size 5/6 and they fit perfectly!!!!! I soooooo did a happy dance in that dressing room!!!!! This program finally helped me lose inches around my waist and give my abs definition…. Which seems like a miracle after 2 Csections!! I feel like I am in the best shape of my life! My endurance is killer! I’m able to run farther and faster than ever! And thanks to all of the strength training, I feel stronger than I ever have!! I love seeing the definition in my arms, waist, back, and legs!!

I am so thankful for Diana!!! This program has completely turned my life around! I am no longer the sad, unhappy woman that I was in my before photos. It has given me the strength and courage to believe in myself… And given me the courage to make changes in my life to get rid of the negatives that had been holding me back. For the first time in a very long time I am putting my happiness as a priority. I know that everyone says this but I truly mean it…. If I can do this program, anyone can!!! It’s all about making an investment in yourself…. And trust me… The payoff is more than worth it!!!!!”
