Laura@LauraForteFitness.comWords cannot express how sincerely honored I am to announce our next Transformation Tuesday story. I have trained with this amazing woman for the past three years both in boot camp and 1×1 
personal training and I cannot be more proud of her.
I have absolutely loved working with her.. it’s actually not work at all. :)
I get the chills reading her story because I know every drop of sweat that has gone into her accomplishments.
It is the sum of every walk past the kitchen stocked with temptations, but not touching them.
It is the sum of every “no thank you” when offered dessert or a glass of wine.
It is the consistent small wins, day in and day out, that has produced such awesome results.
I read this quote yesterday, “A farmer has patience and trusts the process. He just has the faith and keeps understanding that through his daily efforts, the harvest will come. And then one day, almost out of nowhere, it does.” ~ Robin Sharma
Debi trusted the process and has now experienced and continues to experience stunning success.
I give to you the incredible Debi Quilla, in her own voice and words. ~ Laura
My Transformation Tuesday story is a long time in the making – nearly three years.
I met Laura on day one of Bay View Boot Camp. My journey has been long with lots of ups and downs, but Laura and Bay View Boot Camp are always there to help me celebrate my successes and work through my challenges.
Laura has been asking me share my transformation story for over a year. But every time I thought I was ready, I’d have a million excuses to “be bad” and my Transformation Tuesday would turn into Fat Ass Friday. Still, Laura never gave up on me! She has an amazing gift for being tough enough to demand 110% in a workout, and the next minute being the nicest person you will ever meet – all rolled up into an amazing coach and friend.
Bay View Boot Camp has been a constant in my life for the past three years. I love the workouts and all the coaches – Laura, Deb, Gail and Molly are brilliant. The support and encouragement from other boot campers is worth more than I can say. They are amazing people! I genuinely look forward to class – not only do I get a great workout, but I have also made wonderful new friends.
It has taken nearly three years, but I have lost more than 50 pounds and I feel great. I’m stronger, thinner, faster, thinner, and taking on more challenging workouts than 20 years ago. Did I mention thinner? Never thought I’d see size 8 again, but here I am.
If I could lose weight by just working out, I’d be a supermodel. My challenge is, and always will be, food. I’m not sure why, but I don’t seem to be one of those people who can develop a craving to “eat clean.” I’m better with food now, but every day is still a struggle. I will always have my weaknesses: Diet Coke, Pinot Grigio, Red Mesa, and Gratzi to name a few. But somehow, I have finally found a balance – a way to have the stuff I like and enjoy a social life with my husband and friends, without overindulging. Now, when I eat out I make better choices. I’ve found if I don’t make a big deal about what I’m NOT eating or drinking, no one else does either. And the Mesa salad with salmon isn’t a sacrifice – it’s really good!
This journey hasn’t been easy, and it’s not over. Although I’ve finally hit my goal weight, now I have a new goal weight. Because I eat and drink what I want sometimes, I allow myself three or four pounds of cushion (pun intended). That’s why my workouts at Bay View Boot Camp are so important.
If I feel stressed out by work, family, life, I let Laura know and we talk it out – well before I get to far down the path of self-sabotage. Then I get back to my plan. It doesn’t matter if I mess up – just that I do better the next day. As the one hour every day that I take strictly for myself, boot camp and personal training makes me happy.
So, if you’re on the fence about trying Bay View Boot Camp, all I can say is call Laura today. Everyone’s journey is different, but this stuff works the old fashioned way. Hard work, clean eating and a lot of fun.
Please congratulate and recognize Debi for her dedication, overcoming obstacles, and for sharing her story with you today.
She shared this with you to inspire YOU that anything is possible with continued effort and trusting the process.
