Inspiration. Motivation. Dedication. Fit Nation.

     Many people use the excuse, "I can't work out by myself, I/ need motivation." I think if you want it bad enough, you will do it with or without another person! Personally, I am capable of working out by myself, but I do have a dedicated work out buddy who pushes me and I have grown to love her and we are great friends in and out of the gym now!
      Ariel started working out with me mid March and wanted to lose weight for her birthday, which is mid May. We held each other accountable on dieting and we pushed and yelled at each other at the gym; finished each set strong, and never cheated ourselves. I am so proud of her achievements, and I am happy I was able to help her achieve one of her goals. With good eating habits and working out faithfully, she was able to shed 17 pounds in approximately 6 weeks!The following picture is her progress picture (left side March right side May)...

And even though she has lost a significant amount of weight, she is still working out with me and going strong! It is possible to lose weight and feel great without dieting pills or starving yourself. Not only does she look great, she feels better and has more energy.

We are a great team, and we will be work out buddies for a long time :) I love you Ariel and I am so proud of you girl! Even though I inspire you, you inspire me to do better, eat better, and help other people. You deserve it!

You are only as good as the best you put forth. Work hard and reach your goals, only to set more.

Have a healthy day my Fire Flames.
