Kelly Jean's Military DIVAS Life Makeover- "A Celebration of Their Progress"!
First, let's remember what DIVAS stands for: Determined, Inspired, Virtuous And Sexy.
I held auditions in August, 2011 and we began our journey the first week in September. I looked for women who were just that...determined to make changes, inspired to live their best life, virtuous and honest women with real integrity and who wanted to also feel more sexy or better yet, who wanted to reconnect to their sexual selves in a positive and healthy way.
This program was about educating these women on how to cross train their bodies through creative, fun and productive exercise. I taught them how to nourish their bodies with healthy foods that are delicious and that got rid of inflammation and gave them instant energy and vitality.
I have to say though that my real intention behind this program was to inspire them, empower them and show them lots of love. I always used positive reinforcement and treated them with the utmost respect and I created a group dynamic that upheld those principles. As we began our journey together, I made sure to communicate to all of them that my vision of this endeavor being successful had everything to do with the group being incredibly positive, respectful and supportive of one another. Of course, in the audition process, I chose my ladies carefully and looked for, what I considered to be "gals with good hearts."
As I got to know these young women, I found out that they have not had easy lives to say the least. Along with fitness and nutrition, I incorporated life coaching and spiritual mentoring where I helped them deal with some very personal issues that were emotionally painful. They began courageously opening up and sharing their feelings about these issues with the group and were received with a tremendous amount of love and support. They were very open to new and fresh perspectives and learned lots of new ways to nurture themselves through painful times. I'd have to say that one of the most beautiful things that I witnessed about this journey was the incredible bond that developed between the four of them. They have all become close friends, they go to dinner and concerts together, they watch each other's children and call upon each other for help when in a crisis.
I really want to stress that this program was not about a calorie restricted diet and it was not about putting them through ridiculous and stressful types of exercise.
I designed this program to be based on the principles behind my own personal success of losing 60 pounds and keeping it off for over 15 years now. This program was not about the quick fix. Infact, all four women began to understand the importance of losing their weight slowly and integrating gradual changes so that in the end these changes have now become real lifestyle changes. The real test came when they all went through the holidays and maintained their weight losses...that's a real testimony as to how these new changes will be most likely permanent.
Now it is time for me to introduce you to these four stars...these incredible spirits...these examples of women who really were determined, inspired, virtuous and sexy.
