Over the last 3 years, I’ve been actively working to improve my health. I’ve tried many new and old activities that I love such as swimming, kayaking, and walking. I’ve become more aware of the impact of my food choices and portion sizes. My track record and trajectory over these three years has been good and in line with achieving my health and fitness goals. Strength training was missing from my routine. I was surprisingly intimidated by the weights and machines as I had never done this before. A friend recommended The Exercise Coach. So, 9 months ago, I put my brave face on, walked in, and signed up. I’m so glad I did. The staff was, and continues to be, very knowledgeable, accepting, and encouraging. I saw results quickly. I’m feeling stronger each month. After many family celebrations in the fall followed by the holidays, I needed to right my course. I had 3 months of a less than stellar diet and many hard fought pounds had found their way back to me. I signed up for the Metabolic Comeback Challenge. Again, it was just what I needed. While I’ve heard some people may have challenges adjusting to changes like this, I thrived on it. I had tons of energy, wasn’t hungry, and had no cravings throughout the challenge. The weight I had put on melted away quickly. After 30 days, I’m back to my healthy lifestyle and feeling stronger. I plan to continue a whole-foods based way of eating and checking in at The Exercise Coach twice a week as I work towards my bigger goal of being fit and fabulous by 55!
