Friend of Julie: A promise ..

This hero story is from Trudy...

I feel privileged to be a part of this circle of such caring and successful people. I just wanted to express a heartfelt “Thank YOU”, especially to Theresa, Linda and Jennifer. You continue to inspire me and I am sure I am not the only one.

Thanks to Julie I am finally able to stay on a food plan that I can easily continue indefinitely. I am looking forward to reaching my goal soon. How great will it be (Theresa)? When I was on other "diets" before I used to complain and cheat a lot because I just couldn’t stay on it.

Well, I have no time to waste and I am completely happy to stay on this journey. I am almost a size 12 now, but not quite. The last couple of months were challenging because of a hectic schedule, however, I am back working out in the mornings again and boy, does that feel good and it really makes my day. I tell you, I did get a little flabby and it didn’t take long at all.

This morning we (a friend of mine with her Germany Shepherd and me with my mini Aussie) hiked in the woods before coming to work, tomorrow morning is strength training. I switch my days off between cardio and strength training at least 4 – 5 times a week. My goal today is to be in a comfortable size 12.

However long it takes me, I just keep on going. Even afterwards I will stay on the plan, but on maintenance. Being a comfortable weight and having energy is a great feeling I will NEVER go back. That’s a promise.
