What can a Transformation Contest do for you?

Posted by Liz On December - 31 - 2009

TurbulenceT3_FlatEver wonder what it will take to get you off the couch and into shape?  How about a deadline, accountability, and a gameplan?  Well, a transformation contest can provide all of these things, and help you achieve your goals.  A few weeks ago, the 6th Turbulence Training transformation contest concluded.

Posted by Liz On December - 29 - 2009

clothing_shoppingWell, it happened. I turned 35 yesterday. As is my tradition, I took the day off of work and went shopping for clothes. This was a particularly important task given my weight loss.

About Me

For many years, I was a typical American working mom, relying on takeout to get me through the busy evenings, and thinking about exercise but too exhausted to find the time. I ballooned from a size six to nearly a size 10 in under a year. I was fat, and I decided I was fed up. My transformation from then to now inspired friends and encouraged me to start this blog. I want other moms to know they don’t need to be satisfied with just “Looking Good (for a mom),” but that they two can make meaningful changes in their lives, health, and fitness.
