Today, we are sharing Christy Carson's transformation story! Christy is a beautiful women inside and outside and has been living transformed! Christy came to meet with us in January and was ready to make a change with her exercise and nutrition. She has lost over 15 pounds, is using exercise as worship, and has been drinking more water and increasing vegetables. What I appreciate about Christy and what has helped her the most wth her transformation journey is her consistency! Christy makes exercise a priority for her whole family and lives the "exercise is medicine" motto! The amazing lady glows when she comes walks into the studio and always giving 110% of her heart, mind, and strength! Thank you Christy for inspiring us all to live a life transformed!
For most of my adult life I have enjoyed exercise. Despite exercising regularly and maintaining relatively healthy eating, my weight over the last several years gradually inched its way up to the point that I didn’t feel as healthy as I wanted. My good friend, Tiffany Carter, who has worked out at TransFit for a couple years looked so fit and healthy and encouraged me to try TransFit. Although I kept saying I was going to do it, I somehow continued putting it off. Thankfully, for my birthday last November Tiffany bought me a TransFit gift certificate to get me motivated. Thank you, Tiffany!
I met with Caroline and attended my first class in January 2017, and it has made such a wonderful difference in my life! At our first meeting Caroline helped me identify some short-term and long-term goals I wanted to work toward in the areas of weight, body fat, water consumption, nutrition and exercise, and we came up with a plan to reach those goals. I have to tell you, it felt so good to have a plan and to know that someone would be encouraging me to stick to the plan! And guess what? The plan has been working and has been such a wonderful experience both physically and spiritually!
Currently, I attend a Transformer class three times a week and run three times a week (one of those at Lisa’s morning running group, if I can coax myself out of bed that early!). The Transformer class has been such a life-changing experience for me! I love the camaraderie of working out with all the lovely women there, the rigorous workout, and ending with time for inspiration and reflection. Every time I leave I feel both physically and spiritually ready to take on the day. What a blessing!
In addition to the changes in my exercise routine, Caroline and the TransFit team have helped me to improve my nutrition. As someone who likes to cook, I have loved trying the healthy (and delicious) recipes that Caroline shares and have enjoyed experimenting with other new recipes and ingredients. A favorite recipe at our house is P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps. One of Caroline’s suggestions that really helped me to improve my nutrition was to keep a food journal using MyFitnessPal. I did this meticulously for the first couple months, and this forced me to figure out accurate portions and to be aware of the nutritional value of everything I put in my mouth. The first couple of weeks were eye opening and very educational. Now I am much more aware of what I eat and how my body feels when I eat it. And I feel so much better (stronger and more energetic) than I did a few months ago!
Caroline’s program at TransFit, if you truly follow it, works beautifully! I’ve lost weight, inches, body fat, and my running times have improved considerably (even though I’m running less!). Part of the reason for the success is the constant encouragement from Caroline and the rest of the TransFit team, both in class and via texts, emails, and the fun social events they plan. Also, the accountability of knowing I’m going to check in each week keeps me motivated! I’ve been so fortunate because I’ve also had a tremendous amount of encouragement from my family. Both my kids and my husband have supported my healthy lifestyle changes by celebrating with me when I reach goals along the way and regularly asking about my progress. It has made everyone in my house more health conscious!
A huge thank you to Tiffany for encouraging me to join TransFit and to Caroline and the TransFit team for helping me transform my body, mind, and spirit!
