Coming to you live from the Napa Valley...I am a 40 nothing. Low self-esteem, morbidly obese teacher! For the last year I have worked with a wonderful personal trainer who also teaches a class at my gym. Since being his client, I have lost 36 pounds. Slow and steady is really the way to go.
My wellness vision is to be beyond healthy but fit. One of my life long desires has been to train in the area of weight lifting. Guess I just love to pick up heavy things. I am fortunate to have a trainer who is equally excited about this passion and has aligned my workouts accordingly. Unfortunately there have been some medical set backs of the most embarrassing kind...no, you really don't want to know.
Nevertheless, each day I focus on willingness, and that's all I can do right now. And an occasional walk is also fantastic!
