We are down to our last month. I really hate to see this end. I have learned so much and feel healthier than i have in years. I use to stress at night of what to wear to work the next day cause nothing fit, but not anymore. I can now fit into anything in my closet. It's like having a whole new outfit.
I have tried new low fat or fat free recipes. I like creating my own versions of recipes. I recently discovered using Zucchini and Yellow squash to make noodles. This helps cut down on carbs. Mindy has really opened my eyes on how i am eating and what to look for in foods. I still need to get a little better on my eating habits but have already come along way. Traci always has encouraging words when i send her my weekly update and i feel i should have done better.
I was never one to exercise, that was always my sister. I now find myself looking forward to going to the Wellness center and getting a workout in. I have found that i do alot better at night (never have been a morning person). Leah has been a great trainer. She has showed me alot of things i can do at home also. We have gone to the Provo High track and did workouts there and tonight she had Socorro and myself meet at the Rec. Center and did lap swimming. That was alot harder than i thought it would be. I have swam since i was a kid but not this way. I really did enjoy it. Socorro is an amazing person, i wish i had a pinkies worth of her talent. She has come up with great recipes for our diets. She never quits, quite an inspiration. Leah is always encouraging us and lets us know we can reach our goal. I was very lucky to have her for my trainer.
Even though this program will end in a month it is still the beginning and i want to continue this for as long as possible. Thank You Utah Valley Regional and all the staff involved in the 100 Day Healthy Heart Challenge for giving me the opportunity to improve the rest of my life.
