Slim & Strong December: Brittany won by losing 6.4 lbs, 3.5% body fat and 6 inches in only 3 weeks!

December is always a challenging month. Parties over parties and the holiday foods can be a challenge for many. After all, this time of year rolls around only once a year and you want to enjoy it. However, my definition of enjoyment is when you can have fun while doing it AND afterwards. So, I’ve learned over the years to have a little something of things I really want, such as a hot dog from the German Holiday booth in Columbus Circle or my mom’s x-mas cookies (a few and I’m happy), but I no longer have blow-outs that I later retreat and spend months on working off.

My December Slim & Strong participants were incredibly focused. They liked the accountability of being in the program and it made it easier for them to say no at parties. Some used the program as an excuse not to indulge when their friends asked them to join in. The results were amazing. Not only did people feel great at the end of the year, looked better in their ugly x-mas sweaters :-) but they also felt empowered by feeling in charge of their food choices, their bodies and metabolism.

The winner of the Slim & Strong Session was Brittany. Keep in mind that she achieved these changes in only 3 weeks!

Brittany lost 6.4 lbs, 3.5% body fat and 6 inches!  

You can see the great changes in her abs, shoulders and improved posture.

The winner of Slim & Strong is always determined by most body fat lost AND most muscle gained. It’s a hard feat and requires a well-balanced exercise, nutrition and rest approach.  I checked in with her a few days ago and was glad to hear she’s been doing great.
Here’s her update:

Hi Ariane,
You read my mind – I was about to contact you. Thank you for the update on the classes, definitely need to get back on track. I have not been the best with my workouts/cooking lately, but have been focusing on interviewing/making a job change which I realized I need to do for my overall happiness. Thanks for making me realize what changes I need to be making in 2017 for a happier, less stressful life!
Can’t wait to start using my classes over the next week or so! Thank you again for everything. I have made it a habit to stick to as much protein as possible – especially for breakfast, cut out all sweeteners (only using stevia in my coffee), and keeping dark chocolate at my desk if I crave a sweet midday. – Brittany
