Transformation of the Day: Rayshawn shares her transformation story. She lost 22 pounds by making healthy choices and doing two 30-minute workouts each day at the direction of her coach. At 58 years young, she is living her best life.
What was your motivation?
My motivation is that I’m 58 years of age. I don’t take any prescribed medications, and I would love to keep it that way. Also, experiencing menopause and the sluggishness that comes with it was motivating.
I found Terry Starks’ Transformation program, and it gave me the spark of energy I needed. He requires 30 minutes of cardio on an empty stomach before breakfast and 30 minutes before bed. I usually get 10k steps daily, so I found the cardio requirement easy. My cardio consisted of the elliptical or power walking seven days a week.
I did experience fatigue some days due to the heat, but I stayed focused. Terry’s motivating emails kept me focused. I knew my reward would be a Healthier version of me.
How did you change your eating and exercise habits? My eating habits changed by reducing sugar and carbs. I was introduced to roasting my fresh veggies in the oven. I could also air fry, bake, or sautée my protein & veggies.
My weekly meal plans would consist of 4 ounces of meat w/ 1/2 cup of fresh veggies w/ brown rice or 1 cup of fresh vegetables w/ 4 ounces of meat. The five meals I consumed each day kept me full. My metabolism was on fire. Terry Starks also introduced me to vegan options such as Impossible Meat and Beyond Meat. I enjoyed both options and look forward to buying more.
