CONGRATULATIONS: Angie won 2nd place in Novice Fitness Model tall in the IDFA on May 7, 2011.

Wow, to look back at myself on whom I was, where I was or wasn't going seems kind of frightening. My life has taken a complete 360 since falling into the lap of Fitness Coach and Mentor Lisa Schirok.

Little did I know my journey was about to begin on October 19, 2010. I dragged myself out to a fitness competition to witness what exactly one would have to do and achieve to compete. I went alone and fate brought me to sit beside a young fellow who was there to support his girlfriend. We got talking about his girlfriend's journey and how she came about to be on that stage that day. I told him I just don't know where to start, weather I wanted to compete, or how to go about it. That is when he told me about Lisa Schirok and how amazing she has been for his girlfriend and woman a like. So I gave him my business card and hoped it would get passed along.

While in high school I was always a thin girl and always active to keep my physique strong and lean. Never was I into sports, but once I was introduced to weight lifting I got hooked. Life gets a hold of you and very busy once you leave high school and after I had my children I put on A LOT of weight. I managed to get my butt in gear to loose some weight, however for 3 years I worked so hard just to get even more frustrated with not being able to loose that last 10-15lbs, which I'm sure a lot of woman can relate with.

In November, I received a surprise phone call from Lisa. We had a very lengthy, friendly conversation on what exactly I wanted to achieve and how much I'm willing to work at changing bad habits and self-discipline. This amazing woman has changed a high maintenance, run on 1 cup of coffee and 1-2 meals a day princess (and when I mean meals, it's frozen packaged food, cause I refuse to cook) to a give me food every 2 1/2 hrs cause I'm hungry, clean eating & cooking machine!!!!

I never thought I would ever be the size of my high school physique again - I kissed that goodbye a long time ago - but I stand here to today in complete amazement of how incredible the human body truly is if you are just given the proper tools and knowledge for it. You can have anybody YOU feel happy, sexy, & good in! And that is exactly what Lisa did for me and helped me achieve.

Not only did Lisa give me all the right tools to succeed, she gave me a life time of knowledge, a whole new world of confidence, self-esteem, support during the emotional roller-coaster of achieving a healthy body can be, invigoration, motivation and an amazing inspiration.

Where I am today, I don't think I could have ever looked into a glass ball and seen for myself. I, for the first time in my life, can absolutely understand and know what it feels like to be 100% proud of myself. It wasn't till I achieved my goal that I truly new what being proud of yourself really was. To this day I still get emotional and giddy at looking back and acknowledging how far I have come, and I honestly believe I would not have done it, or even gotten 1/4 of the way there if I wasn't blessed with the work and amazing support of Lisa Schirok!!!!

So to Lisa, my friend, Thank You very much for the gift of happiness! I love you and will always hold you dear to my heart, I can't wait to see what life has in store for me next!
