Malia’s Makeover
In life you either sink or swim there is no such thing as treading water. I have known Malia for years and she has always been in good shape, but being in “good” shape isn’t good enough for some people. That is Malia! Over achievers want more they are never satisfied. That doesn’t mean she’s not content because she is! She is always patient and actually enjoys the journey as she is pushing toward another goal.
The journey is where most people lose focus, cave in, and quit. Life is a marathon not a sprint… I used to believe that. But now that I am 42, life seems like a sprint! Where did the time go? Seems like just yesterday I was playing with He-Man action figures spilling cherry Kool-Aid on the carpet…. wait that was yesterday.
Think about that last statement during the “grind” of life when you are doing things you don’t particularly enjoy, time seems to stand still. Then weeks, months, and years fly by and you understand how fast time moves. You wish you would have disciplined yourself to workout, eat the right foods, pray, invest your money properly…etc.
But how do you stay focused? You have to have powerful reasons. THEN once those powerful reasons produce the sustained action of working out and eating healthy. This becomes a habit and part of your everyday lifestyle. Malia has done both. Before I even started training Malia she worked out and has always been active. She has been my client for 3 years, she did leave for about 9 months, but I was never worried about her stopping working out because she created a habit. She came back to me early this year she looked great but wasn’t happy. She wanted to be and look her best when she got married on the beach in Dominican Republic. I would say she succeeded. That pic was taken on her Honeymoon at the Secrets Cap Cana in Punta Cana, D.R. (if you book it tell them Malia sent you maybe she will get something free)
One of my favorite things about Malia is she does whatever I say. She knows a lot about fitness but she also knows she doesn’t know everything. That’s why she hired me because she knew I could make a plan to get her to the place she has never been before. Could she have done it herself? Maybe…. But why would you waste your time using the trial and error method that may or may not produce results when you can go to an expert who knows exactly what you need to do to achieve the results you want?
