WILDFIT

I lost 12 pounds and 14 inches over the course of 90 days!

Quick summary

Starting WildFit just before the pandemic lockdown, she discovered the program was perfectly timed to transform not just her physical health, but her mental and emotional well-being during an unprecedented time of global uncertainty.

When I committed to WildFit in January 2020 I had no idea how much the world would change in the coming months and just how crucial this commitment to eating and living well would be to my overall health and well-being. I thought my biggest challenge would be my work travel schedule and all my anxiety was around being able to stick with the program revolved around eating at restaurants and on airplanes and in kitchens that were not my own. And those were challenges in the beginning, it turns out nothing to be anxious about. As Eric says: a menu is just a badly organized list of ingredients and you just have to pick and choose what you want from the ingredients. But then all the travel came to a screeching halt, all the restaurants closed, and the ONLY kitchen I would be eating in was my own. The first 45 days (non-pandemic) set the foundation for the next 45 days (full-pandemic) and it was somewhere around the half way mark that i realized this program was one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. THIS was the way I was meant to eat, THIS was the time to make the necessary changes. THIS was the foundation for not just physical well-being through food, but really anchored me for mental and emotional well-being as well. THIS was the full package for optimal full-body health. I am so beyond grateful for Eric, the Wildfit Journey, the way the program is laid out for small changes every week and the structure for learning and accountability. I decided at the beginning that I would do WildFit full out and as part of that committed to the daily lessons, listening to my food dialogue, checking in with my accountability buddy from the facebook group. The end result is that I FEEL GREAT! I feel like I am living and breathing and moving in my optimal health! I lost 12 pounds and 14 inches over the course of 90 days! And I'm excited to start LIVING WILDFIT!
