Arena Club - Programs - Weight Loss Program

My journey began a couple of years ago when I was feeling very overwhelmed with my life. I was not sleeping well so I always looked and felt tired. I never seemed to have enough energy and was often disappointed by what I saw in the mirror. Does any of this sound familiar to you? I decided I was tired of being tired! I needed a plan! I needed to make crucial lifestyle changes in order to recapture ME and change my life. I did countless hours of research and created a plan that would change my eating habits and incorporate both cardiovascular training and strength training into my weekly routine. I set a start date, created shopping lists for my meal plans and organized a workout routine the best I could. I knew these changes wouldn’t happened to me overnight. I needed time to reach the goals of my new plan. I was willing to commit to 3 months at a time. I hoped to see some changes in that time, but I really had no idea how successful I could truly be in just a 12 week program. I took a “before” photo to document my actual starting point. I looked at the tired woman in the photo and then put her away and refused to see her until my challenge was over. It was hard work, and yes I did get sidetracked but I promised myself I would not throw in the towel because of 1 missed workout or poor meal choice. I realized successful weight management is not gained or lost based on one action, but rather it has become my journey. If I did “cheat” on a meal or was unable to workout I made sure I got right back to my plan as soon as possible. It really was an amazing discovery! In the first 4 weeks I did not recognize many physical changes, but I certainly noticed how much better I was sleeping, how much more energy I had and I was becoming a much happier person. I wanted so much more out of life. I was no longer satisfied with “OK”. I deserve MORE! Once exercise and meal planning became a priority, I found I actually had more time because I had a schedule. By the end of week 8 I needed to buy new clothes. The physical changes were now measurable. Week 12 finally arrived. It was time for the “after” photo. I could not believe the difference 12 weeks made. I was so pleased by the transformation! My new, healthy lifestyle introduced me to the woman I knew was the real me, she was just hidden below self doubt and excuses. But she was in me all the time! I just needed a plan to get her out! I have incorporated several positive lifestyle changes that have totally transformed my body into better health. My journey still continues but the path is much easier now. I am so excited to share my story with you. I look forward to helping all of you reach your goals by giving you the knowledge and the power to make healthier choices. The time for you is NOW!
