HF: It’s been 6 years since you took your first steps and start your Hitch Fit transformation. How is your life different now than it was back then? BW: There has been so much positivity in my life since my transformation. Back then, I could always find an excuse or negative for anything in my life. Today, I am consistently looking for the greatness in everything and everybody. My health and heart have definitely settled in the right place. HF: Tell us about your first day at Hitch Fit. What was happening in your life that made you want to take that first step? BW: My first day at Hitch Fit was emotional. I am pretty sure I cried the entire drive down to the gym. I was afraid of failure. I didn’t believe I could do it. I was in such a dark place in my life. I was tired of looking in the mirror, tired of shopping for bigger clothes, and I was tired of hating myself. HF: What did you expect on that first day? Was your expectation different than your actual experience? BW: On my first day, I anticipated seeing Diana walk around the gym in full makeup, a beautiful tan, hair flowing with curls, and glitter falling off of her (just like her pictures). I thought of Micah in the same way (but not so much the glitter). Needless to say, it was completely opposite. They were both so down to Earth and made me feel comfortable. Workout wise, it was what I expected. It wasn’t easy. But I did it. I didn’t quit.
