Karen's Kicking Goals!




I first met Karen at a Supermarket Safari over a year ago now. We had, I guess, somewhat of an e-relationship, as Karen recieved my newsletters and kept abreast of my perspective through her gym's newsletter.

Then mid-august of this year she called me to find out more about how I could help her achieve what it was she was seeking. A back injury set back our face to face meeting for quite some time, yet by mid-September we had commenced our journey.

Feeling FLAT, TIRED, FRUSTRATED, FAT, in PAIN and having NO MOTIVATION, Karen hopped on board the New Leaf ship with a lot of HOPE for change.

With a serious family history of heart disease, including the early passing of her dear brother, Karen knew life was short and wanted to really start LIVING with passion, energy, fitness and health. She craved the figure she had when she was married, knowing that at this weight and physique, she felt HERSELF!

Karen was also looking for her lost confidence, as it was holding her back and affecting everything in her life, especially relationships with those she loves most.

A second honeymoon, her family, as well as a photo of herself in a stage show ("(I)am horrified....it's time to do something") were her motivation for finally taking action. Having tried a high protein diet and a heavy commitment at a gym regime, Karen was looking for something that would once and for all teach her how to LIVE EVERYDAY HEALTHY, not just a short term "lose-weight no matter the cost" approach.

Fast forward to today, not quite even 3 months later, and Karen has shed 6kg, is looking and feeling FAB, AND had a BLAST on her second honeymoon- enjoying herself fully and NOT wasting energy being worried about her body! What a change!

Her back pain is MUCH improved- to the point she is now able to step up her physical activity! This is significant given only 3 months earlier Karen was bed-ridden with her back condition!

Her boys (early teens) are also coming on board, even if it is slow :) Now enjoying and preparing salads together as well as NEW dishes, such as a pumpkin flan, fish and MUCH more, the entire FAMILY is becoming healthier, happier and more VIBRANT!

Hubby has also, just by accident (!!!), lost a few belt notches...which is a wonderful bonus for them both! ;p haha

Everything is coming together nicely and I think Karen would agree that where she is NOW feels WORLDS apart from where she was back THEN!!

Well done Karen :)

You ARE looking fabulous and you ARE doing such an amazing job :) You should be incredibly proud and THANK YOU for being such a great example and inspiration to others out there!

We LOVE you!

Mwah! xoxoxo
