I met Deanna about a year ago. She was teaching a weight lifting class at my health club. She was precise, inspiring and committed to help us get results. Class was over and Deanna was explaining to another instructor her diet for an upcoming competition. My interest was heightened and I started hammering her with questions about her workout routine, food choices and how she packed it all in…wife, 40 something mother of three with the youngest 13 years old, working at 3 health clubs and a personal trainer, meeting with her trainer once or twice a day and cooking, cleaning…yipes!
There was a time she didn’t work out. She gained weight with each pregnancy and slacked off on her good eating habits. She weighed in at 200 pounds! Take a look at her picture again. She has come a long way!
An interesting story, perhaps even inspiring, but what actually makes Deanna a Contagious Leader? She made a decision to get back in shape, got in action, set a goal to compete in the 2010 Copper Classic in Las Vegas, and let nothing interfere. She has unobstructed vision, nothing is an obstacle for her. 1st competition and Deanna came in 2nd place. She’s amazing!
