“I want to change and be the best me that I can be but right now I am a MESS!”
I am 65, morbidly obese, and have been basically a couch potato for way to long.
Staying on a healthy eating plan is hard and because of little to no activity, I have no stamina or endurance. Here I am retired and too tired to enjoy life. I have joined several fitness facilities lacked the self-motivation and “stick-with-it-ness” to stay on track to reach any success.
I lacked accountability and did not place myself high enough on the “important things to do ladder” to get much accomplished.
So the only person I ended up hurting was me.
I started working with Derek on Friday, May 10. I remember that first workout so well. After every activity, I was sucking air and needed recovery time. That weekend I was so sore and movement was so painful but on Monday morning I showed up for workout #2 committed to making this work.
In the beginning I struggled with every activity but as time went by I gradually saw improvement and I feel so proud when I begin to do even the simplest activity that in the beginning was impossible. I am slow but like the Eveready Energizer Bunny I keep on going.
Knowing that someone has scheduled a set time for me gives me accountability and Derek has been so patient. He is taking me from where I am and adjusting workouts to fit my abilities and needs.
I want to be healthy and even though working out is not easy for me, I am going to stick with it. I actually look forward to my workouts and would not miss for anything!
