TEAM STRONG GIRLS Success Story – Lise G.

TEAM STRONG GIRLS Testimonial I had the pleasure of working with Lise G. and proudly watched her transform physically by adhering to her program. We put together a strategy that moved her away from cardio (‪#‎SayNoToCardio‬) and integrated Resistance Training/Weight Lifting to really shape her body. We also created a structured nutrition program for the purpose of achieving her goals along with plenty of food flexibility to equip her with the tools to MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN her incredible transformation. This STRONG GIRL lost 27 lbs along with shredding off 7 inches around her waist, 6 inches off of her hips, and 8 inches off of her thighs. She looks tight, fit, strong, and gorgeous!!! Lise says, “Hi Jenny, before I joined TEAM STRONG GIRLS, I was working out but didn’t have much direction or focus with what I was doing. I thought I was eating healthy with a bit of binge eating and was obviously having trouble with portion control.

Losing the ability to manipulate Protein sources and/or Carbohydrate sources makes diet planning extremely challenging. The one constant with fat loss is it isn’t constant and …

When it comes to dieting, there are 2 types of people…

Almost everyone has fallen off track from a diet. Even some of the women with the most gorgeous physiques that you see online with the most amazing inspirational quotes (yes them). Even top level athletes. Even coaches. Me included. Yes we’ve succumbed to grabbing a cookie when we shouldn’t have. Yes we all decided to eat a little more than what was originally planned. Yes we decided to take a momentary break from our structured program to indulge in something else. These definitive moments are almost the deciding factor in SUCCESS or FAILURE when it comes to dieting. I like to refer to it as the “fork in the road” when a person is on a plan because it’s decision time! Person #1 says – Ugh! I can’t believe I ate that. I’m going to get back on plan, not feel guilty about this, and move on and kick butt. OR Person #2 says – Ugh! I can’t believe I ate that. I’m just going to try and diet again some other time when it’s …
