My journey, I’m still on the trail!
I am a retired federal agent that knows how difficult it can be to compete physically with co-workers, in some cases, almost half my age. It was when I was preparing to deploy to Iraq that I thought I was in good shape; I had been working out and maintaining my weight! Oh yeah! Maintaining my weight! - well what I thought was doing alright, I found out after being compared to a co-worker who wasn’t working out at all, that I wasn’t cutting it! It was then that my self-esteem, pride and competitive energy welled back up and I started really working. But as a 40+ woman, working didn’t mean just working out. It meant figuring it out. Why was my weight rising, why didn’t I have the energy to do some things? My kids were in middle school and I thought I looked pretty good for a woman my age! Not until I looked at pictures was I more critical, AND of course when my boss called me the name of a women that was easily 100 pounds more than me....as I was walking away! WHAT! You heard me!
I have since lost some pounds. I still have my days that I struggle. I haven’t reached my goals YET but want to help you get started! Motivating you, motivates me! Let’s take this journey together! I look forward to seeing you in my groups and on my pages.
