 I’m 51 years old, overweight and out of shape! While I consider myself to be very active it is not active for me. It really is just very busy! With Riley in college and Megan a junior in high school I’ve been “evaluating” my life and what the next phase will be like. So, when Sarah asked if Mark and I would be the next Wellness Journey people I was excited but cautious. Do I really want to go public with all this?
The answer is yes! With a degree in physical education I know that I should be making time for exercise. Having danced since the age of 3 and swimming since the age of 9 I still believe that these are 2 of the best lifetime activities! As most of you know I coach swimming and teach dance. I love working with kids and helping them find happiness and success. It’s time to lead by example!
So, everybody hang on because it’s going to be a bumpy ride and I hope to be brutally honest with myself and you! While I really don’t care what I weigh, I do want more energy and to feel as “young” as I think I am, haha!
Mark and I want to grow old together, be active and productive in the next phase of our lives and this is the first step.
I enjoy reading these updates–it is really nice that the more visible people (no pun intended) in the community are taking this seriously. It is an inspiration to a lot of less motivated people (myself included) to take health seriously and do something about it.
Great work and keep it up.
