Hitch Fit Living Magazine Volume 9 - November/December 2016 | Page 18

And off we went. The first month was great, my strength started to increase, for the first time in my life I learned how
to eat properly. Exercise became something I looked forward to and started competing against myself to try to improve.
By the second month, I had met my first set of goals – so we set more. At the end of 12 weeks, I still felt that we had a
way to go to being the best 55 year old I could be.
I suddenly became addicted to fitness – and here I was, the business owner voted least likely to succeed in fitness before
I met everyone at Hitch Fit. I kept going, adding 5 weeks to the transformation piece, and am thrilled with the results. I
dropped 36.4 lbs and got the body fat to about 18.5%, and lost inches all over in the time I was with Hitch Fit – but that
wasn’t the best part for me.
Everyone has different results, the one I’m proudest of isn’t the weight, or the reduction in body fat. The one I’m
proudest of is that at age 55, I feel fit, healthy and feel like I could take on the world. I’m off blood pressure medication,
I’ve continued to work with a trainer because I love it, I’ve increased my endurance in walking (can’t run because of my
arthritis, but can walk REALLY fast), have taken up cycling, and am now taking swimming lessons.
On September 10, 2016, I successfully completed a Triathlon – my first – and I couldn’t have even thought about doing
that 6 months ago. I’m stronger, eat better than I ever have, can do things would never have been able to do and feel
better than I have in years. The physical by-products are nice-to-haves, but what’s on the inside is so much more
important.
If you’re thinking about taking on this journey yourself, I challenge you – what are you waiting for? Now I know what
it’s done for me, I only wish I had found them sooner. My absolute heartfelt thanks go to Diana and Micah, and now
Kevin in OP gets to put up with me. Hitch Fit changed my life. In fact, Hitch Fit gave me back my life and for that I
am truly thankful.”
