Meet Kathy Murchison

My name is Kathy Murchison. I am a 53-year-old woman who is President and CEO of a digital printing company. When I was shopping for my outfit for my company’s Christmas party last year, I bought a beautiful black suit that was size 14. After the Christmas Party and the Christmas Holiday, I spent a week at Wrightsville beach with a lot of my friends. We cooked, drank a lot, celebrated New Year’s together and had a great time.

When I got back to Raleigh and was getting ready for work, I looked in the mirror and what I saw was shocking. I had grown from a size 10 in January 2002 to a size 12 in January 2003 to a size 14 in January 2004 and all I had done about it was buy another size of clothes. (I had rationalized that this was fine since during that time I had lost my job, my 16 year old dog had died, I had had a full left hip replacement and started a new company.) But, alas, there was really no excuse!

I made my New Year’s resolution right then – get back to 135 lbs. (I was at a startling 158 lbs.!) My plan was to do the South Beach Diet, have no beer and to work out. I bought the book, read it and started with my two weeks. Since I had never been successful with diet alone I knew that I also needed to work out, but had no idea what to do.

Coincidently a person that works for me had been working out with a trainer and had good results. That trainer was Angela Ursprung. I contracted with her in February for a 90-day, two-night-a-week stint. By that time I had finished my two week carbohydrate cleansing, had stayed off the beer and had begun eating five to six small meals a day. Of course, I had seen no appreciable change in my size.

My, what a difference 90 days can make. I found that I loved working out with Angela – she was inspiring to me – made me do things that I never thought I could do. My body was rapidly changing: I had gone from 23% body fat to 16% body fat; all of my clothes were falling off me.

At the end of my first 90 days, I knew that she would be a part of my life for the foreseeable future. Before beginning with her, my hip, which has just undergone hip replacement surgery was very weak, I had no balance, I had no stamina and my golf handicap was about 30; now I have muscle all around my prosthetic hip joint, I can balance on each foot while pulling the other one up behind me, I can outlast all of my friends when walking and my handicap is 19. I find that I don’t need the beer to be the life of the party; I even volunteered to be the designated driver last weekend.

I was so excited about my metamorphosis that I contracted with Angela to work with my General Manager on his body. From there, I hired her to work with all of my employees. All 30 employees get the opportunity to work with her for four sessions that are paid for by the company. We are all healthier and have more energy; our meetings are more upbeat and positive with more participation; our error-rate is down and production is up. We have added a weight room and an aerobic exercise room at work for Angela’s training and for our employee’s use. My business partner has also contracted with her.

She has caused an epidemic of health, happiness and excitement! I am now at the end of my second 90-day period and I weigh 133 lbs., my body fat is 14% and I wear a size 6 in slacks and, because of my shoulders and back, a 12 in a jacket. My life is forever changed and I will forever be indebted to her for helping me reach my potential and making my company a much more positive and fun work environment.

What are YOU waiting for?
