Becoming a Fit Strong Mama: Becca's Transformation Story
Hey Sister!
I started Fit Strong Mama (FSM) on a whim in September 2017. I did it for me, if I am being honest. I wanted a way to workout at home, but have other mamas like me be able to do it as well. I started out with 10 brave and wonderful women. (Bless their hearts) They didn’t have a clue what they were getting into. Nor did I really know either! God has been good and He has put His hand in this to where now it is a business! We have grown to over 100 women in boot camp and my prayer is that we continue to build our tribe and help more women take back their health!
I wanted to get one of those first boot camp veterans to give her thoughts, successes and hardships throughout her journey in FSM. Becca is a dear FSM family member and I’m SO incredibly proud of the huge steps shes made on her journey, which is why I’ve made her our first official Fit Strong Mama of the Month!
Hi, I am Becca.
I received an email in August 2017 about an opportunity to workout from home with a live instructor, a group for accountability, and motivation. Being a stay at home mom of an almost 2 yr old and a 4 yr old, and not having time to go to the gym, I said YES! Our first Zoom session was September 5th 2017. I was able to fill my cup and get my "self" back.
The first time I noticed change was in April of 2018. I came across our Easter 2017 picture. I tried on the same outfit and took a pic. I sent it to my husband and Court, they were both like, you can totally see a difference. I say this to say I didn’t immediately notice change but I stuck with it and through pictures saw my transformation.
In August of 2018, our family made a cross country move to Southern California. I was very sad to leave but because of the accessibility of FSM anywhere you are at anytime, I didn’t have to leave Bootcamp. It's my piece of home away from home.
Here is my most recent progress photo!
As I look back at my journey, here is a list of my non scale victories so far with FSM:
When I started, I began with 3lb weights. Currently using 8lb.
When I started, I couldn't keep up. Currently, I am keeping up AND motivating others.
When I started, I was a size 10 in jeans. Currently, I am size 8 in jeans.
When I started, I would never have worn skinny jeans. Currently, skinny jeans are the ONLY jeans I own.
As I was compiling my thoughts and Becca’s words for this blog today, tears were running down my face. I am so proud of Becca and so very thankful for you and just amazed at what God has done and continuing to do. Sister, this is not a sprint, this is a process. There is no quick fix, no magic pill. You have to put in the time and the effort if you want to make changes. It starts with a healthy gut, healthy food choices and exercise!
This is a life CHANGE, not a 30 day challenge.
If you are wanting to make that change, we would love to have you join this tribe of women getting their health back!!!
