5 years prior to training with Jess I had lost 29 lbs counting points on a familiar diet program (153 down to 123, size 14 down to size 6)…. after having baby #1 I took up running, and the weight came right off and I got back down to 129…. fast forward to baby #2 and a very stressful and busy career as an IB theatre teacher… I was back up to 143 lbs but still in a size 8/10…

I was tired, moody, no motivation to go for a run so my workouts were very sporadic and I was addicted to Starbucks fraps and diet Dr Pepper 😳…  within the first few weeks my family, students, and co workers saw a happier, more patient, more energized mom, wife and teacher!!!

Fast forward a week and I signed up for a boot camp where I started #HIIT workouts and weight training. Within 3 months of the boot camps and the supplements I lost 12 lbs and was back down to a size 6 🙌🏻.

A year in, I ran my fastest 5k ever with 7.5 min miles… that next summer I competed in the camp gladiator games and ran an even faster mile 🏃🏻‍♀️🙌🏻…. fast forward almost 3 years and I decided to cross off a bucket list goal (a bucket list a started in 2009 when I beat melanoma)!!! I started training for my first NPC bikini competition!!!! 💪🏼👙👠

This is not something you jump into lightly!!! 😳. I trained for 9 months, every meal I ate was planned and weighed out and I worked out 1.5- 2 hrs a day… holla!!! 🙌🏻. Mind you.. I am a mother of very two active kids (one a tween),

I’m a full time high school English teacher who holds multiple leadership positions, a wife, and I own a successful small business. If I can make time for this is reach my goals anyone can!!! 💪🏼🙌🏻

Final results!!!
-I finished between 14 & 16 in all four categories where there were between 22 & 29 women competing in each!!! 👙👠💪🏼
-I lost 30 lbs from 149 on May 14th to 118 on show day!!
-I went from a size 8 to a size ZERO!!!! I’ve NEVER been a zero!!!
-I eat super clean!!!
-I crave water!!!

I can’t thank Jess enough for how she has helped me!!! I have more confidence than I’ve ever bet had and I have the drive and energy to step out and try things I never knew I could!!! I have found the real me!!! My next bucket list item starts April 1st when I begin my master’s degree in educational leadership! 🙌🏻👩🏻‍🎓👩🏻‍🏫. So, pretty soon I won’t just be #thefitteachertx but #thefitprincipal 👩🏻‍💻
