BIG SHOUT-OUT TO LINDA! 👏
I want to take a minute and recognize Linda because she is making some substantial changes in her life.
When Linda started with me about 11 weeks ago, this wasn't simply about losing weight.
For many years, Linda had been taking care of everybody else.
She became a caretaker for her husband when he became sick. After he passed away, she continued helping and taking care of family, friends, her kids and grandkids.
Somewhere along the way, Linda stopped investing that same time and energy into herself.
When she started the program, she told me:
“It’s become a way for me not to focus on myself.”
She described feeling tired and heavy, having very little energy, and feeling like everything was a chore.
But she also told me something else:
“I want to create a new me. A happier me in all ways.”
Well, Linda...
YOU ARE DOING IT!
We're about 11 weeks into the program, and Linda has already released more than 15 pounds.
But I'm even more excited about everything happening beyond the scale.
Her strength has improved tremendously.
Her endurance has improved tremendously.
Her ability to exercise and move has improved tremendously.
And she has stayed consistent.
It hasn't all gone perfectly either.
She's dealt with some hip and shoulder issues along the way. Instead of stopping, we modified, adjusted and found ways for her to keep moving forward safely.
That's an important part of creating a lifestyle.
Things are going to come up.
Your body may need adjustments.
Life may throw something at you that wasn't part of the plan.
You adjust. You learn. And you keep moving forward.
One of Linda's goals when she started was to have more energy to get out and enjoy life again—to spend time with her grandkids, play with them at the park, travel, walk farther, maybe play pickleball with friends, and rediscover some of the outgoing person she remembers being.
That's what we're working toward.
This isn't simply about releasing 15 pounds.
Linda is investing in herself again.
She's building strength.
She's building endurance.
She's building confidence.
And most importantly, she's creating the healthier, happier version of herself that she told me she wanted to become when we started.
Linda, I'm super proud of the work you're putting in.
Keep going. You're creating that new you. 💪
