I had seen Maggie several times while attending a monthly meeting. She was a guest speaker and I guess I enjoyed her philosophy of life enough to join her ‘Fitness Family’. It certainly didn’t hurt matters to look at her and see that she practices what she preaches. She spoke of self-discipline and how one has to do for oneself in order to find happiness in life. Well, my story is slightly different. I spend the better part of my day standing on my feet and believe me, when I finish my day with arthritic pain, I just wanted to eat and sit! I don’t have to tell you what that did to my body and frankly, I needed to do something about it. I’d go to bed with braces on my wrists and forearms looking like I was in a bad accident. I didn’t feel good about myself, I didn’t like the way I looked and especially since my profession is one where I make people look their best, the skincare profession. I took the plunge and spoke with Maggie about what she could do for me. During my initial consultation I spoke of my weight problem, lack of energy, the way I was eating, my nutrition, and in general, I wanted to look better. When I started with Maggie’s Fitness and Nutrition program, I weighed 198 pounds, and then proceeded to erase 50 of them in just under 5 months. When I started with Maggie, I told her of a problem I had with my ankle. Surgery was planned for the next month and I was worried about interrupting my progress. I continued with Maggie and I’m not sure what happened, but my ankle improved, and, I don’t even think about it anymore. I’m now sure that dropping the weight and having a better daily nutritional plan had everything to do with it. More importantly, I now feel so much better about myself. Now I look forward to staring into the mirror. I know it sounds silly, but Maggie changed my life, although, she’ll say I did it and that she was only a catalyst. Funny thing is, I don’t feel deprived of any food, I eat healthy, natural food, a little fish and chicken, and I stay away from the bad stuff. Note, I don’t need the braces anymore! I’m with Maggie 3 days a week and Maggie is with me 24-7! Thank you Maggie for making a difference.
