Feeling Alive!

I feel great!! I have to share my story. I’ve been overweight most of my life – in the last 20 years to the tune of 100+ pounds overweight (after quitting smoking). As a child, I was never able to do much physical activity. My “event” in track and field day in elementary school was walking while balancing a book on my head without dropping it! Sad, huh? (But I was really good at it – ha!!) I started coming to The Spa a couple years ago with a really messed up shoulder that Sonya has rehabilitated very well for me. Then I started working with Ricardo for nutrition and weight loss. I had lost almost 50 pounds over the past two years and was “stuck.” Everything pointed to exercising my body to be able to lose the rest, but I still resisted. At one of the many FREE meetings at The Spa a couple months ago, I won a FREE fitness evaluation with Teryl Worster and eventually she talked me into starting a personal training program with her. You mean the kid with the book on her head???!!! That’s the one! After only 8 sessions with Teryl, I have advanced from the bands to the TRX (what a blast – who knew!!), lost 6 pounds of fat and many inches (not sure of the number), gained muscle mass, lowered my BMI, gained strength and energy, and am feeling alive! All these years I didn’t know that being fat was stealing my life (because it took all the energy I had to be fat!!). If you’re someone who never was able to do physical activity (by the way, that book-balancing thing really doesn’t count), please let me encourage you to talk to Teryl because if she can help me, I know she can help you! At 53, I know the best is yet to come and I’m thankful for ALL my friends at The Spa on Green Street and The Body Sanctuary for helping me in my journey to becoming healthy and fit enough to enjoy the rest of the ride!! Love you guys!
