Personal Training
I met Margie from Vibes 12 weeks before my wedding! And man, am I happy I was introduced to her via a work colleague.
I have never been skinny; I have always carried a bit of weight, and it has never bothered me until I thought of walking around a beach resort in Borneo in a bikini with my new husband. And it dawned on me I needed to drop the weight and tone my body. I have always played netball and thought I was pretty fit; I believed I ate reasonably well for someone my age, so why was I carrying this weight?
But I was wrong; I remember the first day Margie and I sat down, and she did all my measurements and analysed what I was eating. I was pretty on track. There were a few BIG things that were preventing me from dropping the weight, like the amount of cheese, potatoes and bread I was eating each day. I remember Margie saying, “80% of my weight is due to what goes in my mouth”.
So I went to task. She set me up with a book, and I had to record everything that went into my mouth! It was confronting because I wasn’t that good eater after all. I was eating foods at the wrong end of the day and also needed to increase my intake of some foods.
Every three weeks, Margie would get the measuring tape out, and I was losing centimetres from parts of the body that just was not imaginable! I must also point out that we got married on the 5th of February, so this took place over the festive season!
The day came for me to walk down the aisle… More importantly, to go on my honeymoon, I jumped on the scales and lost 10kgs in 12 weeks!!!
It is now 12 months on, and I see Margie once a week. And she is always at the other end of the phone, helping me and encouraging me with many aspects of my life. This is the fittest I have been in a very long time, and I actually enjoy going for a walk or jumping on that treadmill.
My experience with Margie has changed my outlook on life; my energy levels have increased, and I am now up for any challenge that comes my way. I have noticed that I have not had a netball injury all year, and my chronic back problems have completely gone.
Margie, you have changed my life. You are an amazing person, and I thank you for everything you have given me and will continue to provide me with; you have become a really good friend.
Thank you!
