Trish
I haven’t posted in a while, but I thought it would be worth passing along Trish’s story:
Hey there, this is Trish from “Team Intern.” From the very moment I heard our team’s name announced on the radio three months ago, I knew our lives were about to change. I knew that I was part of something beyond my wildest imagination, and I knew the journey before us would be rewarding yet challenging. And challenging it was!
We started off by meeting at our assigned gym where we were warmly welcomed and encouraged by the staff and members. From that point, Tania, our personal trainer and compass, led us on a journey through health and fitness–a journey that encompassed better choices and self-worth– things I had long lost.
Things have certainly changed. Each time I enter the parking lot of the Crossfit Winnipeg gym, reality disappears and my game face is on. My soul becomes what has been described as a “Warrior.” The training we do continues to challenge me every time I workout, and I now know what “good pain” means. Sweating, hardened calluses and wanting more is how I leave the gym. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I have lost 30 lbs. so far along with several inches, 5.10 off my thighs, 5.9 off my hips, 5.10 off my chest and 7 inches off my waist. I have a genuine smile on my face and both my confidence and energy levels radiate to reflect my self worth. I took full advantage of this opportunity and am so proud of what I have lost and what I have gained. I have made some lifelong friendships, discovered a new confidence, and found a place where I push myself to a level of athletic abilities that I had locked away since childhood.
The past 3 months have been an amazing stepping stone to the lifelong changes I have decided to make, and my journey won’t end on May 3rd. I want this lifestyle for myself because I am worth it, and for my children because I am their role model. My life has changed because of the Winnipeg’s Biggest Loser contest and I am so proud to have accomplished all I did in the given time with the support of my amazing coaches and fellow team members.
