Janice's Weightloss Progress May 2014 to February 2015 |
My travel lifestyle as a flight attendant impacted my health negatively. My colon expanded from all
the take offs and landings. Every time I would take off in the air, my colon would expand and
whenever I would land my colon would contract. This caused my intestines to become packed with
waste and made it difficult for me to eliminate. In May 2014, I stopped working as a flight attendant
because I was unable to move my bowels. My stomach looked as if it was 7 months pregnant.
I began working out 5 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week for three months just to get my bowels to
move. The photo above of me showing my "sugar roll" belly was taken in June 2014.
On December 30, 2014 I was told that I had cervical cancer, it was quite an unpleasant New Year's
surprise. Most people were making New Year's Resolution, however I was forced to change my
eating habits to a vegan lifestyle. I went into survival mode. There are various cancer deaths in my
family. I lost my mother to second hand smoking cancer, one aunt to cervical cancer, and
grandmother to breast cancer. I had one other aunt die to cancer as well, but I don't remember
what type. I am not ready to give up my life to cancer.
I overcame fear and remained positive. God placed the right people in my life to help with my
healing. One of my daughter's gave me a visit to King Spa and Sauna for a Christmas present. It is a
wellness retreat that has over 30 hot and cold healing rock saunas. The biggest help was the
V Steam Herb Woodworm Sitz Bath which is known to prevent uterine cancer. My daughter and I
and I had an one hour and a half treatment by God's divine plan. We were visiting with three of my
daughter's friends who sitz baths were not working properly. The treatment is normally 30 minutes
but we received an additional hour because we were waiting for my daughter's friends. After the sitz
bath we spent time in the various sauna rooms, detoxifying and healing our bodies.

Another factor which helped cure me from cancer was my employment at L.A. Fitness as Personal
Trainer Fitness Assessment Counselor that gave me access to a spa and whirlpool. I continued to
detoxify my body. I also began working with a personal trainer who encouraged me to eat organic
fruits and vegetables and change to a vegan lifestyle. My working out with Personal Trainer Lance
Dillon of Truth Fitness 2020 led to a 17 pound weight and building lean muscle mass during the
month of January.
Being employed at L.A. Fitness has helped change me into a fitness person as I now workout about
6 days a week. My job as a Personal Trainer Fitness Assessment Counselor requires that I workout
with clients about 3 to 4 times a day in addition to my regular workout routine. A health and fitness
lifestyle has changed my travel lifestyle. Although I have hung up my wings as a flight attendant, I
decided to combine passion to travel with health and fitness by creating Black Girls Fitness
Getaways. Please comment by sharing your weightloss journey and your dream wellness getaway
