About Me
My Weight Loss Journey!
Hi there, I'm Alma The Artist at Heart!
Allow me to share with you some of the challenges and rewards of my weight loss journey. Being in the beauty and fitness industry for over 25 years has taught me the true reality of weight loss. I was a former Salon and Spa owner helping clients shed inches with different holistic treatments. At the same time, with little to no attention to my 190-pound overweight. Although I was able to help many clients, the short-term effect was not enough.
I went for a walk to meditate on how I could make the effects long-lasting. I had to start with myself and teach by example. That morning walk changed my mind, and after that, it became a ritual. I wanted to look and feel better about myself, in my body, mind, and spirit. Three months after it was more than walking, it was running. I integrated the holistic treatments to complement my fitness plan. Five months later, I had dropped 50 pounds. Feeling positive and excited, I decided to pursue professional fitness training and became Certified.
I know it's fast and easy to talk about it, but like anyone else, I am not an exception; the ups and downs crossed my mind, especially at the beginning when the mind is resisting the change. But from my experience, I learned to break through that challenge and establish a goal in my brain.
Every breath is a blessing. I learned true compassion for myself (no shame), a positive attitude toward life. I became an Elite Fitness Coach, Certified in Personal Fitness, Yoga, and Glutes Specialist, dropped 70 pounds, and turned my dress size from 16 to 2. Very crafty but worthy!
Never underestimate when a flash of inspiration comes to your mind, act upon it!
