 You know when you really get down to it. The fittest are the ones who realize that it goes beyond looking a certain way or fitting into your clothes, bathing suits, heck even underwear better. It's the realization that true fitness works from the inside out. You will feel better long before you start looking better. As you will find with today's transformation, you can have both. Just in the proper order for a long life of being healthy strong and fit.-Nate Bikini Plan for Moms! I’m so proud of today’s transformation feature Randi! Talk about a busy schedule. This lady is a perfect example that if you set your sites on a goal, you can achieve it if you’re willing to make the changes and create the new habits. A mother, a wife, and a business owner, that’s a lot! But getting herself to a healthy place, and a place where she felt more confident and energetic, we knew these things were going to spill into every other facet of her life. She would be better at all the other roles she was playing if she took care of herself. Knowing how busy Randi was going to be, we set a manageable goal of losing 20 pounds in 12 weeks. Once she got started, and got in her rhythm she not only met that goal, she far exceeded it, shedding 30 pounds and 14% body fat in 12 weeks! Randi tackled the Hitch Fit Bikini Plan for Moms to get her great results! Congrats Randi, so proud of you, what an inspiration you are to all the busy moms, wives and business owners out there.  Randi’s Stats: Starting weight: 163 Ending weight: 133 Starting body fat: 35.9% Ending body fat: 21.8%    Randi’s Story: “I have so many things to say, I don’t even know where to start! I found Hitch Fit through word of mouth. I was telling a client of mine that I really felt like I needed a customized meal plan in order to have my weight loss be more successful. She recommended Hitch Fit and I’m so glad I found them and did this for myself! I’ve always been thin or normal….and then I had a baby. Having a baby rocks your body, especially if you have a c-section!!! I have never in my life had to lose weight before, so I had no idea where to begin. I banked on the idea that nursing would shed my extra pounds….wishful thinking! A lot of people told me “give it a year, you’ll bounce back”….and after 7 months I realized that I was going to have to put in some extra effort if I wanted to feel like myself again. That was the part that bothered me the most, I didn’t feel like myself anymore. I refuse to be frumpy and I refuse to let myself go! My body created this beautiful little human, but every time I looked in the mirror, I thought to myself, “and this is what I’m left with?!” Literally everything jiggled and found a new point of origin! Who made the “dad bod” a thing? What about the mom bod?…. Yeah, not a thing; even though we gained the weight, we harvested the human, we shot them out or had them cut out in my case! It doesn’t help that every time you get on social media you see celebrities 5 weeks postpartum who look perfect. Or the girls on Facebook who feel the need to share that they left the hospital in their pre-pregnancy jeans! That’s not real life and it starts to make you feel like maybe you aren’t the normal one! I didn’t want my son to turn one year old and me, wishing I would’ve started a weight loss program the first time I had thought about it. I didn’t want this weight to hold me back from making memories with him, like swimming for the first time. He can’t miss out on life because I don’t feel comfortable in a swimsuit or shorts! So after he turned 7 months, I decided it was finally time to make myself a priority and rid of this body that clearly didn’t belong to me! I led a pretty healthy lifestyle before I started Hitch Fit, the food I ate wasn’t unhealthy, but I’ve learned it was not what I needed for weight loss success. I constantly felt torn…..one group of fitness professionals tell you that you don’t need to calorie count or worry about healthy fats etc, as long as the food is clean and whole. The other half says you absolutely need to portion it out even if it’s good for you. Well which one is it? I’ve heard “Your body type doesn’t need extra carbs,” so then I try not to eat any carbs. I felt so lost. Ok, so how do I figure out what MY body needs because diets are not a one size fits all! How many grams of protein, carbs and fats should I be having each day to meet MY goals? And NO I’m not interested in making more work for myself by entering everything that enters my mouth into an app…add that to my list of things to do! Ala’…. Hitch Fit….they take all of the guess work out of it! It’s an amazing thing that Diana and Micah have created here! I love the accountability and support they offer by checking in weekly, I truly believe it helps you to stay more focused. I love that it’s online so that your journey can be as private as you want it to be. During the transformation phase they recommend keeping the food simple, which means no fancy recipes. At first I was worried, but it was actually relieving not having to come up with healthy recipes every week! I felt like keeping it simple made my life so much easier and made meal prepping pretty quick! I just packed my meals up the night before and took it one day at a time. I did all of my workouts from the convenience of my home with free weights, bands and a treadmill! Finding the free time for workouts was difficult, but like anything in life…you just figure it out! I’m a business owner who works full time and my husband is in sales. Our schedules can get crazy! We both work evenings and weekends and most work weeks we are just crossing paths. When I signed up for Hitch Fit I simply asked for extra support and for him to step up his dad game so that I could do this for myself. I took the workouts on one week at a time! The proof is in the pics! I exceeded my weight loss goal of 20 pounds in 12 weeks and I ended up losing 30 pounds!!! I feel amazing and healthy! This sounds crazy, but I’m actually proud that I had to work hard for this. Now that my transformation phase is over, I plan on moving forward with Diana to the maintenance program. I am excited to have continued guidance with new workouts and a new meal plan that fits in with my new body! If you are reading this… I am just an average working mom who is literally trying to do it all! I’m sure you can relate! It’s not going to be easy, but I promise it will be worth it!!!! We are always always stronger than we think we are! So when your alarm goes off for those early morning workouts and your house is sound asleep, just tell yourself… I bet Beyoncé is on her treadmill right now ;).”
