WINNER of The 30 Day Challenge is Ashley Enderle
The winner of the 30 Day Challenge is Ashley Enderle. This was an extremely tough decision for me as all of the contestants worked very hard. When making my final choice I chose Ashley because she not only displayed commitment to change, but also had overcome many obstacles, stayed positive, and had drastic improvement in her body composition during the 30 Day Challenge. I want to thank all of the constants who entered, and I hope that all of you continue your journey on health beyond this time frame. I asked Ashley to write up about her experience over the course of the challenge and this is what she had to say:
I used to be a very fit active person. Then an odd disaster happened during my sons birth and I wound up with Postpartum Cardio Myopathy, basically at 20 years old I had heart failure. For the first year I was restricted on food, could barely walk, and needed therapy. After a year I was cleared to do light workouts, with restricted food intake. Later down the road I was cleared to eat whatever Id like and workout again as normal. Now it has been almost 4 years and I have no clue where to begin again to work out and eat healthy. I know for my health and to make sure I live a long life for my son I needed to get back in shape. I was all for it but had no clue where to begin anymore. Even thought knowing that becoming healthy could save my life and allow me to go to the park with my son safely, even knowing that Id have the courage to dress up and walk out of the house to go on a date night with my husband, I couldn’t seem to figure out how to get back into that lifestyle. My heart rate was resting on medicine at 87 rpm, just talking and putting my son to bed raised it to 120. I was obese at 160lbs. I found Bree on Instagram and LOVED her work. I finally decided to build up my courage and work with her for the 30 Day Transformation Challenge. I had no idea what would happen, or if anything would change, I thought it was worth a try and when she sent me the program I thought hey this looks easy, I used to do these types of workouts everyday. I misjudged the program, because wow it kicked my butt the first week and switching my diet to healthier choices was hard. But after the first week I saw progress, noticeable progress, and I was in shock. It boosted my motivation and I finished strong with a new outlook after completing the 30 days. I never knew that I could change THAT much in such a short period of time. My family, friends, and husband were shocked seeing the before and after pictures. My eating habits completely changed and I fell back in love with drinking water and making healthier choices. Every time I looked in the mirror I just grinned and felt strong. My husband, who always had to remind me that I was beautiful would just laugh when he kept catching me spinning in circles admiring my new self in the mirror. We actually dressed up and went out for a date for Valentines day, in public. My weight dropped 5 lbs, I had more energy, my HR dropped down to 80 bpm, blood pressure improved, on top of my confidence sky rocketed. I would not recommend anyone else for a trainer but Bree. She was amazing and answered any questions I had as well as helping with my motivation. Who knew that online training could actually work? Does not matter your lifestyle, busy-ness, or health issues, if she can help me I know she can help you
