Winner!

The winner of the 2012 VIP Mama competition is ... (drum roll please) ... Shaunette Nelson!  Enjoy the special video announcement!

What is the VIP Treatment?

The VIP Treatment is life changing.  It is the making of our next SUCCESS STORY!  Our VIP Mama will be personally coached by Lonnie & Pamela Crim (aka Big Daddy & Head Mama) for the next 90 days.  She will be pushed beyond the confines of her comfort zone to taste the BIG life available for her.  Her health, fitness, finances, career and relationships are all in for a major over-haul.  Let the fun begin!

Assignment #1: The DREADED Photos

It's probably the assignment our VIP Mama dreaded most and of course, we went for it first.  The BEFORE photos.  Sure it's hard to strip down to your panties and face the reality of where bad habits can take a Mama, but it's absolutely necessary.  These photos will become priceless!  And so her journey begins.

What Went Wrong?

Step two for the VIP Mama is to recognize what went wrong in the first place.  It's not easy to put it in writing, but it's crucial to that fresh start.  Here's Shaunette's list:

• Doubt
• Fear
• Laziness
• Procrastination!!!!  (that one was in bold!)
• Over-eating
• Not exercising
  
• Anger
• Belittling myself & allowing others to do it to me
• Not speaking up
• Worrying
• Lack of Confidence

BHAG

B.H.A.G.  (Big Hairy Audacious Goal)  Everyone needs a big, life changing goal to inspire them.  Our VIP Mama has one, well actually two!

Become a Master Chef
Become a Body Builder

Now who thinks that's possible for her?  I know it is!  She's got what it takes but it will take everything she's got!

H2O ... it's magic!

"My HUGE increase in water has helped more than anything. I never really liked water before and found myself only drinking it when i had to. But WOW! What a difference it makes!!!! I have been drinking close to 3/4 gallon a day. I also find that my body is beginning to "crave" water. I think that's pretty cool! :)" ~ Shaunette

It's Insanity!

"Yesterday I did the INSANE workout video with my trainer and a few other kids from school. O.M.G!!!!! I think I lost 5 lbs in sweat and that was just at the warmup. But I pushed through. I am FEELING it today!!! Mostly my butt, calf and arm muscles. 

A few obstacles I faced with that was I still found myself having to push past my insecurites. Especially looking at my chisled trainer and a few others, and not to mention the AMAZING bodies of those on the insane video. I found myself most disliking those unbelieveable bodies on the screen when I realized it wasn't me talking it was Charlie... that alter ego... she is always looking for the negative to take the fun out of things... I had to shut her up by using positive thoughts. I shut her up by thinking about how I am gonna LOVE my chisled body and rock hard abs!!! (despite the fact that she tries to sell me lies that that will never happen...The devil is a liar!!) Needless to say--- I pushed back and she shut up. Even though I feel sore, I feel good about being sore. Simply because it means I DID something! :) No matter how foolish I may have looked!!!" ~ Shaunette

It's a Family Thing

"Kids..... Oh how they hold mama accountable!!! I told them from the beginning what I was doing and they said they were in. Already they are planning out nightly walks & runs at the park after homework and dinner. It's a HUGE blessing and it makes me so proud of them!!! Now if my husband would just join us... But I refuse to push him... he will come around... eventually." ~ Shaunette

Be a Better Shaunette

Prayer

"My prayer is that anyone out there watching, reading will be inspired to get up and move, to change. To not be sold into lies that they arent somebody... cause they are! And they ARE WORTH evey effort, every ounce of sweat and every sore muscle!!! Rock on ladies!! Lets do this thing!!!!" ~ Shaunette

Ah-ha Moment

"I am also learning how to distinguish God's voice from my voice, and distinguish my voice from "charlie's" voice (the inner voice that whines and tells me I can't).  BALANCE.  Work hard but play hard too. Work hard but rest up and pray up and learn to enjoy EVERY moment--- even the rough ones, even the NOT so pretty ones. I am learning to embrace the entire process and not just wish for it to go away. It's not easy... but nothing of worth is." ~ Shaunette
