Basically, I have exercised in one form or another all my life, ate myself through college, never had a weight problem. Then real life happened! Married, 3 kids and a menopause later, still exercising, still eating…..whatever……and Holy Smokes, this is not healthy. Kept exercising like a maniac, no results.
About a year and a half ago, my friend, R, invited me to a weight training class at Maximum Fitness. It was fun, loved it, was strong and FAT. Chuck, the owner of the gym, kept telling me what I needed to do to lose the weight, but I wasn’t ready to listen. Well, let’s be honest, I wasn’t ready to give up food! He didn’t push me, but he knew! About 3 months ago, it clicked in my brain, ” all this work, all this money, no results….. now I am ready”. Chuck wrote down a healthy eating routine and gave me 2 weeks. I followed it, did my weight training 2X a week and some cardio at home. That was October and now it is January! I am 27 pounds lighter! HipHipHooray for MEEEEEEEE!
Thank you Chuck and Bernie for your patience ! Great guys, a great place to work out!!
Oh and PS. I brought my cholesterol down 20 points and stabilized my blood pressure to boot!!
