Diva on a Diet- Valencia
Valencia used to be life of the party and says that she could “drink any man under the table” until 2 events rocked her world – her father had a massive stroke that left him wheelchair bound, and she found God. She is bringing up 2 boisterous teenage boys with love and the occasional headlock. Valencia says that she thinks she is hot, but dreams of being hotter and shaking her awesome booty at a salsa club.
Despite the fact that Valencia works as a coach at a circuit training gym, she is unfit and overweight. She gave up alcohol after her dad’s stroke, but makes poor food choices and eats way too much. Time and cash poor, she feeds her family convenience foods and guzzles pop. Scared that she’s heading for a stroke herself, this busy mom desperately wants to shed 50 pounds.
Valencia faces many challenges: her sons always have some kind of chocolate or candy around, nights with her friends involve lots of high-calorie foods and her traditional Caribbean foods she loves are no good for someone trying to slim down. But, Valencia is determined to slim down, so she’ll have to avoid temptation and find the time to look after herself.
