Week 9, was way better then week 10! I weigh the same, which is cool. My goal weight by race day is 135lbs. I don't want to be less and I think if I'm more, it will slow me down. But who knows those are just my current thoughts. Either way 135 is the GOAL! So we will see how I feel once I hit it and able to keep it consistent. As far as my swimming goes.... I still need a lot of work! Its my breathing and my kicking. I gotta figure out how to do them simultaneously, for lon

Kineta is 41 years old and retired from the US Air Force. She is now hustling as a Personal Beauty Consultant. She's the proud mother of sweet Ayana, who just may be the next Gabby Douglas! Ah, and Kineta has this dog who swears he is a human. Oh and I can't forget to mention she is single!!! I am telling all her business but that's because I am seriously fascinated by this #fitchic. She is a single mother and an entrepreneur, but she still manages to do the things necessary

Have you ever felt sick and tired of being sick and tired? This week’s #Fitchic of the Week, Patricia Quillen, used that same sentiment as her driving force to begin her fitness journey in July of 2018. Starting her own business took a toll on her health as she was putting all of her time and energy in perfecting her business and no time or fuel into taking care of herself. She found herself at a point where she was sleeping 2-3 hours a night, kicking back anything sugar-load

As with most things in life, fitness journeys are personal ones. Every #fitchic has a reason why they chose to begin their fit lifestyle and join In Awe Fitness. If you're an OG #fitchic you know that Amber and Britni ask you to dig deep and discover your #WHY. Then they expect you use it as your 24/7 motivation. Ruth's has some serious motivation. The biggest reason she started taking her health seriously and prioritizing her fitness was for her 11 year old son, Sean. She kn

According to this week's #FITCHIC of the Week, Leanne Jackson, a #fitchic is defined as someone who gives 100% to reach and maintain that goal while encouraging and supporting other #fitchics to reach and maintain theirs. Leanne has struggled with her weight since she was a teenager. Like most of us can relate, becoming a mom was a life-changing time in her life, but also played into her continued weight gain. She found herself struggling to lose and decided to get gastric sl

When it comes to being a #fitchic, there is one rule above all else, that you need to follow- If it ain't on the meal plan, DON'T eat it! This rule holds true through each of In Awe Fitness' programs. When it comes to losing weight and getting fit, nutrition plays the biggest role in your success (or failure!). Amber and Britni create meal plans backed by reality and science that have proven results. We understand that no one is perfect and slip ups happen in everyone's fitne

Liz is a retired veteran, wife, mother, and grandmother. She currently resides right here in Killeen, with me! She currently works as a license massage therapist!!!! You can schedule an appoitment with her at Massage Envy-Harker Heights! Sooo I met Liz back in 2017 at the boot. She scheduled a consult, came in and I know we chatted for a legit hour maybe longer.

Dora is a 44 year old, army wife, mother of two, and she works for KISD! Look here, when I met Dora she started bootcamp weighing in at 225lbs in and now she is at 140lbs! I am in totally awe every time I look at the woman.When I first met Dora, at the boot. I am pretty sure that she'd pulled an inner abdominal muscle and we hadn't even finished the warm up yet . The painful look she displayed made me immediately think... "Damn, I hope she signed the waiver! Then I thought "

Dasheka is a 44 year old registered nurse from Boston! She came into this #fitchic game about 7 months ago weighing 173lbs. Now she's sitting pretty damn fit at 140lbs! She is one of this weeks "#fitchics of the week", because I am truly #INAWE of her heart and dedication. But what really makes me emotional when I think about my sweet Dasheka is how she is super transparent. She shares her #fitchics up, #fitchics downs, and her #fitchic progress all over her social media pag

Why should #fitchics do cardio? Cardio helps your heart and lungs function better during exercise and rest. With cardio your heart becomes stronger which means it doesn't have to work as hard to pump blood. Cardio also helps boost your metabolism, combat stress and depression. Simply put... CARDIO IS LIFE, that is why you should do cardio. Types of #fitchic Cardio: (Cardio incorporated in my training plans) Low Intensity Steady State Cardio (LISS): This is any type of card

The moment you become a mother your entire world goes from being fully about you to refocusing your thoughts and actions fully on your child and providing them with the best life possible. While we, as moms, are working hard to give our children the world, we sometimes forget that we, in fact, are their world so we need to take care of ourselves too. This week’s #fitchic of the Week, Lan Griffin, lives this mentality daily. Her main reason to take care of her health, through

Here is just a little of what went on while on the #FITCHIC cruise! I had other clips, but they were either too windy or they had a song playing in the background. Youtube doesn't play when it comes to copyright violations, so I didn't want to risk it! Eitheway I had a blast with my girls! Thank you to all the #FITCHICS who came and spent their precious down time with me and the others. Your positive and happy vibes felt so good!! Britni and I are planning the #FITCHIC RETREA

#fitchics are everyday women who inspire others to live their healthiest lifestyle through their fit actions according to this week’s #fitchic of the Week, Desiree Pacheco. It’s safe to say that without Desiree’s inspiration, in Amber’s life, In Awe Fitness would not be what it is today to women around the world. Desiree was Amber’s angel, in a way, picking her up out of a slump and encouraging her to spend time on herself in the walls of the gym. Desiree inspired Amber to be
