Q&A with LeeAnn Russell

Tell us a little about you, where you live, children, occupation, etc.

I am LeeAnn Russell.  I am a 38 year old mother of 2 (Owen age 3 and Olivia age 7).  I am currently a stay at home mom.  I live in Franklin, TN  

Describe your nutrition before starting the Burn Fat and Feast program.

Before BFF I have always considered myself a healthy eater but have struggled with my weight all of my life.  I had success with  Weight Watchers in the past.  I continued to maintain my weight through college and my 20s.  After having 2 kids and hitting my late 30s I realized that I was eating right but I wasn’t seeing the changes that I had hoped for.  

Describe your fitness routine before starting the Burn Fat and Feast program.

I had been exercising regularly after the birth of my son.  I had found a fitness routine that I loved at Releve one which is a barre studio in Franklin.  I was hesitant to do Sarah’s program because I did not want to give up doing what I loved, but I was able to incorporate my classes in with Sarah’s exercises.  

What made you decide to join this program?

  How do you feel now that you have graduated?

I have finished both BFF and Elite and I have recently redone the original BFF program primarily for the accountability.  I feel great after completing the programs.

  Share with us 2 successes, things you learned or what your biggest takeaways were upon completion.

My clothes fit more comfortably and I have a lot more energy.  I have also had health benefits.  What I learned during the program is that I was not eating enough and my diet was full of hidden sugars.  Also I realized that I was depriving myself which made me miserable.  Now I know that I can have the things I want in conjunction with healthy eating.

LeeAnn, thanks again for participating in the Burn Fat & Feast and Elite programs.

We are so proud of you, and we hope your successes will inspire others to begin their fitness journey! To learn more about the Burn Fat & Feast program, CLICK HERE. Save
