" My name is Dayna. I started this program to be healthy and to become the best version of myself. I lost myself these last few years and this year is the year I call 'becoming the best of Dayna', so I am starting here. Come along for the ride and get to see the funny and silly side of me as I find my way back to the beautiful version I was once"

"My name is Kristine. I am committing myself to achieving many things. This time next year ...
I WILL have increased my energy & vitality; being able to perform activities with greater ease & be less winded.
This year ...
I WILL feel stronger, be more limber and have improved mobility/ stability/ endurance. The pain in the joints will be relieved.
I WILL sit on the floor & 'get back up' with ease.
I WILL set a positive example for my family & friends. By the end of this year ... I WILL beat my 10km run under 55 mins.
I WILL have more energy in the day.
I WILL welcome 2027 with a humble heart"

Dayne & Kristine first meet at the gym. Dayna was starting her training session and Kristine just finished hers. They bonded immediately and found out they had so much in common... a kinship was born. They shared with each other their goals, motivations and their love for wanting a healthier lifestyle.
Cardio dates were made (accountability) and everything from meal plans to "things I said" LOL were discussed.
What an experience this will be...
FOR ALL THREE OF US

WE GOT SWAG !!!!
They DO !!! But they also got bags and hats to show off 😊
WELCOME TO THE TEAM
These two are making themselves visible to everyone this year so they keep themselves accountable AND they want to motivate others.
They will show you that... "your comfort zone is not where INCREDIBLE is built".
Proud of you both

L👀ky L👀ky
WE DID IT !!!!
Our first month and we are soooo proud of ourselves.
We had challenges and set backs and SUCCESSES
👊👊👊
But... we made it !!
I am so PROUD of both you ... goals were accomplished... losing weight, showing up, cardio dates 🥰 and just knowing that "YES YOU CAN"

Brandy joined the group ... better late than never.
"My name is Brandy (a.k.a. fashionably late) and...
I BEAT CANCER"
WooHoo 👊👊
"I am cancer free as of Feb 27, 2026 !! This next year is about commitment to my health & fitness goals. I am doing this for ME ... and for my new grandson 🥰.
This year is MY year."

February was the month of "Do-betters".
This was the first of the 12 monthly contests and they did amazing !!!
The ladies kept track of many habits/behaviors/situations that they improved on ...
- turned frustration to motivation
-smiled.. haven't in awhile
-did cardio with a friend
-made a healthy choice
-meditated
Health is mind, body and soul and everyday is a chance to do something better, make a better choice or change a negative to a positive.
WAY TO GO LADIES ... PROUD of you 😊
"Keep that shit up" 🙌

They call themselves "Barbra's Angels" 😇
I call them "The reason I do what I do" 🥰
These three have become the greatest supporters and motivators to EACH OTHER.
They are my "angels" because they were sent to be there for each other ... we are family ❤️

Month 2 and all is well... in fact it is AH-MAZING !!!
We have lost a total of 11 lbs and 18 inches
👊👊👊
We are becoming our new "lifestyle" but it is a learning curve 😉
Coach B keeps saying that you are all doing incredible because "showing up" is the first step to change.
I am proud of you for completing your monthly Fun List and Enjoy your bag of prizes 🥰...
Well deserved for putting up with me 😂
As they say... "Rome wasn't built in a day" and change takes time.

If you ask "how's it going?" ... they would say they are learning tons about themselves.
Major lifestyle changes don't happen overnight... this is not the movies... this is REAL LIFE ... it takes time 😊
