The Best In You Challenge

One thing I have always loved is working out and eating right.  I don’t believe in diet pills, starving yourself, working out 3 hours a day or anything to the extreme.  I believe in a moderate workout routine and eating right.  It has always been the best thing for me and for anyone.  When you feel good about yourself, it is amazing the things that take place!

Once our little guy was born, I have to admit that workout routines and healthy eating kind of went out the window for me.  In fact, I think I have had more McDonald happy meals, chocolate milk and marshmallows in the last 2 years than I have had my entire life. (You know how us moms always have to do the clean up of what they don’t eat)   Okay his eating isn’t THAT bad. I do try to make him eat healthy too but I know it isn’t where it should be.  I wanted to be healthier for me and my family.  

One day a friend of mine and my husband's from college posted a few pictures that he had just had taken during a fitness photo shoot and something ‘clicked’.  He has always been in good shape, currently a personal trainer, always took care of himself, but this was different.....  He was so defined and looked amazing, he looked 10 years younger.  I thought to myself, if he can do that, I can do that.  And if I can do that, so can anyone else.  So something else ‘clicked’. I want to do something that is not only going to motivate me, but motivate anyone that wants to be motivated (let’s be honest, you have to WANT it in order to ACHIEVE it)  I made an appointment to meet with Steve, counseled, discussed and now we are SO excited to be launching this idea....So I know by now you are all thinking, get to the point already.  Okay, here it is:

1.  You must submit a before photo by April 17, 2011 (These will not go on FB.  They will be submitted to me at brianamariephotos@gmail.com or Steve Plylkachmpn@gmail.com. 
2.   You have until July 1st to transform your body.  We aren’t looking for who loses the most weight.  This isn't a weight competition, it is a healthy lifestyle change.  The winner will be based upon who has the most amazing body transformation
3.  On July 1st all ‘after’ pictures need to be submitted to my email along with a short story (less than 400 words) of your journey and how you accomplished what you did.
4.  We will have a panel of 4 fitness advisers look over the picture and your journey and pick the top 3 transformations.  There will be the top 3 for men and the top 3 for women!
5. The top 3 from each gender will be posted on my FB photography page and we will let the ‘fans’ pick the winner. So get your friends, family, co-workers to be apart of this.

So what do you WIN????

• The one with the most ‘likes’ will win a FREE photo shoot with ME (Click Here), 6 FREE personal training sessions with Steve Gewondjan (click here) and a FREE cut and color with Nikki Fowler from 'A Hair Makeover' (click here) .  This is a value of approx. $750.00 that you will get for FREE.  
• Everyone who participates by submitting before and after pictures will receive $50 off a photos session with me.  Also for those participants, Steve wants to see you get in shape and achieve your goals so he is willing to do 10 sessions for the price of 7.  Unbelievable!

Let's make this lifestyle change for your family, your mental attitude, your health and overall well being.  I am doing it right along side of you.  In fact, I started my personal training today with Steve and loved it!.  I must admit I showed up at 5:30 bright eyed and bushy tailed (yes I am probably the only one that says that) and left sweating, out of breathe and already sore.  It’s going to be a hard but FUN journey!  I love a good challenge.  Good thing I enjoyed my chocolate chip cookies, bagels and cream cheese over the weekend ;)  

Also, don't forget to check out Steve’s FB page here.  He will be updating it weekly with new tips, recipes, and encouragement as you go throughout your journey.  Don’t forget to ‘like’ it so it gets posted on your wall.  Also, don’t forget to ‘like’ my fb page here so you can stay updated with information regarding the competition as well as I am going to document my progression throughout my journey.  If you are wanting to see the latest and great trends with Nikki, please make sure to 'like' her page as well here.
