My Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge

I have always exercised & that didn’t change after I put on my weight w/ Mar’s pregnancy. In the past 5 yrs, I did every style of boot camp, hot yoga, pilates, ran races, swam, biked, worked out w/ personal trainers & simultaneously trained for & then ran 2 half marathons w/in 2 wks of each other while doing a 30 day hot yoga challenge. I also did cleanses & specific healthy eating programs.

I was holding at a size 14 & felt very defeated. I had a personal trainer ask me if I really thought it was possible to reach my goal. I then went on to do physical testing w/ my doctor, after he too saw my work out efforts & my food diary, to see if I had any medical conditions. He said: “I hate to tell you but you are healthy.”

Assuming there was a mental blockage then, I did individual & workshop type self-help work around releasing the weight. I did hypnotherapy (which was amazing & needs to be shared another time). I still held that size. Enter Kerri Slater who was the personal trainer leading the latest boot camp I was in & part of the racing team I was on.

Slater said: “Have you heard of Body By Vi 90 Day Health Challenge?” She explained the science behind the program & the issues we face with eating healthy these days. I initially shied away from the dreaded ‘autoship’ & the naysayers talking about the ‘pyramid’ scheme of it all. But I realized that was not me saying that, I was listening to others. I entered my first Body By Vi 90 Day Health Challenge.

I did my due diligence & then also signed up as a promoter for the Challenge. It exemplifies everything I believe in relation to how to live one’s life. It is a perfect. I got the Transformation Kit. I got injured in a 10km race & couldn’t exercise for the first 8 weeks of the Challenge. How was I going to release the weight while not exercising & be selling it?! Amber style of course!

90 Days into my first challenge I am in a size 8-10. I feel amazing. I look amazing. And I’ve simply added something to my life, not taken anything away from it.

All of this is why I’m excited about the BBVi 90 Day Health Challenge. It’s been life changing for me as weight for me symbolizes a lot in my life, it’s emotional for me. And that is just my story, I could tell you other amazing stories of life changing moments for many others from athletes to people with diseases, to people doing it to support a loved one. Here I come ripped body in a girly way ! Imagine what kind of Amber style I will bring then !

My company tag line is: Advancing Knowledge & Transforming Lives. Why not take a chance & do my next Challenge with me?! Thanks for reading my story & in retrospect, this should have been a blog entry instead of a facebook status  And so it is…
