I recently read a quote that really struck a cord with me, it was "If
you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it
done. Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal."
It's true. I used to drive myself crazy wishing & dreaming of being
lean, strong and fit, always unhappy with who and what I saw in the
mirror, but never really doing anything about it. Granted long story
short, over the past few years I've done it all, from lots of variety of
workouts and exercising and yo-yo dieting to eating disorders. I'd see
results for a while but nothing lasted and not because I wasn't happy
with the results, I just wasn't happy as a person. I was a slave to a
vicious cycle that never ended. It was until I hit road bottom in my
personal life that I realized I started to focus on myself for once. And
that's when I found IIFYM...
I can't begin to thank Blair enough for her knowledge and support. I
finally have the missing piece I was looking for so long and that's
peace. Even in a short time with her, I am learning to no longer be
controlled by restrictions and a number. Fitness can be hard, nutrition
can be hard, but fitness AND nutrition together is very hard, especially
if you thought you've tried it all. I'm learning how my body works and
what fuel it truly needs to function properly all while I get to enjoy
foods before I wouldn't touch with a 10' foot pole (until I did and I
would go COMPLETELY over board. Ex: Eating a whole package of Oreos in a
sitting or a huge jar of PB in two days). I've had "treats" every day
without any guilt and seeing progress that might seem slower then past
results but I know that these results are lasting because I'm enjoying
myself for once and know I can actually keep this LIFESTYLE up. Honestly
with IIFYM, I find myself attracted to more nutrients dense food for
most of my meals, knowing that they are working with my body to help me
reach my goals. However, nothing taste better then eating a couple of
Oreos or some frozen yogurt and knowing, "I'll be ok! This food by one
means define me as a person and as long as it's in moderation, I've
earned this treat with my work in the gym and it's actually helps me
keep the gains train running." I actually enjoy treats more now instead
of punishing myself, and that in a huge relief. That's why this will
last. Slow & steady, but here to stay!
Anyone looking for a trainer and/or considering IIFYM, Blair knows her
stuff and she's fun to work with on your goals all while she's
completely honest and open with you on her fitness and nutrition
journey! Don't think, make your move and just do and not only see
results, but feel results too!
Ommmgawwwsh
I am so happy that I get to share this testimonial.
Blair has been
the only coach that I have ever had and it was an amazing experience. She has
taught me so much about body building - exercise, correct form, reps, strategy,
metabolism, supplements, flexible dieting, recipes, and on and on.
While I
could have easily learned these things from a book, or You Tube, or anyone
online, I am so happy that I got the up close and personal attention I needed
to start my journey. She absolutely knows her stuff, however she allows you to
be you and decide what is best for you and your body. She developed a personal
plan for ME and gently encouraged me through the whole process. Don’t get me
wrong, SHE IS TOUGH. However, she is sensible. She pushes you when you can no
longer push yourself and she never expects anything from anyone that she is not
willing to give herself.
One of my
favorite parts of her coaching is that she is on her journey right beside you.
Not only do you see changes in you, you get to see the changes in her at the
same time. Blair is serious, she is the most dedicated person I know to her
fitness and she walks the walk.
I absolutely
recommend her as a coach and I am truly grateful that I got the chance to learn
from someone so genuinely dedicated to this awesome world of body building and
I will forever be TEAM BLAIR!!
Sincerely,
