My name is Desiree when I met Sandra my health & fitness had been long forgotten about & put on the back burner. I had given up on any hope of getting back on track. I had begun to try and except myself the way I was. Five years prior I was 70 pounds lighter & the passing of my Grampa had effected me on many levels.
When I first met with Sandra my expectation was “not to lose weight” as I believed that it wasn’t possible. I was only looking to tone my muscles lol…
I began training the following week in January with light cardio and weight training. Sandra also recommended I start to clean up my lifestyle with a few changes. First change was to take out the white carbohydrates then take my sugar load down eating as natural as possible.
By May I was surprised to see after my reassessment that I had lost 20 pounds and started to feel different. I couldn’t believe what minimal effort’s could do, and began to be curious with the thought of “what if I followed the program to the letter of the law? What would happen then? With a new found belief that Sandra’s programs really work I decide to recommit to surrender to all of the program with out question. I began in June to really focus on my daily & weekly goals that where set out to produce results.
At this time Sandra was getting ready to compete in Ms Physique contest and had encouraged me to come and watch. As I am sitting in the audience watching still very far away from my original health goal, never mind contest stage condition I get this feeling of strong belief, that I could possibly have a total transformation beyond believe if I chose to follow Sandra’s guidance.
So I decided to share this thought with Sandra as crazy as it seemed she seemed to believe and want the best for me. Despite the seemingly unrealistic goal of contest shape I took the idea to Sandra that day. After I shared my vision Sandra look at me and said “Let’s get started”
All the past things I had learned to be true for health and fitness where all about to change and my commitment was to be much more demanding if I was to in fact realize my new found goal. My new stage ready program was going to require every last bit of discipline physically & mentally if I was to achieve this crazy dream. As the month’s went by the impossible started to seem more obtainable. Physically my body was rapidly changing but is was evident that new type of work was needed mentally to prepare for the un veiling of my new body.
The list of things to learn out side of working ou and feeding myself properly felt like a daunting task. We began working on things like what category would be suited. Here is the list
- suit selection – swim suit
- costume design – sport’s wear theme
- evening wear & glamours look
- hair and make up for all three different looks
- skin colour
- posing practice & walking style on stage
- Then working on finding the confidence to pull this off.
It’s now April and realize that if I hadn’t made this new goal of stage ready I would have reach my health & fitness goal. W I was now living in a much healthier and beautiful body .everything was about to change again. If I wanted to go from average fit girl now
Now that my goal is to get stage ready and look and feel better than average. I now realize that the rest of Sandra’s team is beginning there intense programs for the stage as well and I am right along with them. Everything was well calculated and the intensity now was all out.
The next few months had proven to be difficult as I realize my mind hadn’t caught up to my new body.
So with more mental work Sandra prepares me for my final UN veiling on stage.
She keep me focussed and supported me with confidence that I in fact deserved to be there amongest the rest. What a life changing experience !!!!!!!
Sandra’s coaching is in valuable. She believed in me & encouraged me when the fact’s seemed impossible.
“If Sandra is able to drastically transform someone that was in desperate need like me, just think what she can do for YOU”
Here are some stat’s that I still can’t believe My upper thigh when I started was 28 inches the same size that my waist is now that I am transformed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Sandra for the life changing experience… and helping me reach all my goals…
Desiree, you deserve everything that you have acheived. Your testimonial really spoke to me because I think most women understand that they really aren’t in the best shape that they could be. I admire you because you had the moxie to do something about it. And how! There was one time in my whole life, when I was about 30 years old, when I was truly fit. This was only because I had fallen madly in love with a man who drove me to it. The realtionship was not successful, (that’s an understatement!), but I looked amazing. Now I would like to look that great, but on my own terms! I recently lost 26 lbs but I am 63 years old and my skin has lost a lot of elasticity. I find that I have a lot of skin! Sandra thinks that we can get rid of some of it. I’m going to do the best that I can to make this happen. You have really given me the inspiration. Thank you! Best, Carol Kittleson
