In September 2015, I started a 6-Week Healthy You Challenge as a fun way to encourage participants to embrace healthier lifestyle choices. Sonia and 14 others accepted the challenge which was built on the four pillars of health (Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude and Nutrition) and are making great progress. Following is Sonia Gary's story:
Although I made additional lifestyle changes to improve my health before and even more so after open heart surgery three years ago, I tend to regress a bit. I therefore thank God for Pamela and her invitation to be a part of The Six Week “Healthy You” Challenge, because it came just when I needed it. You see despite my health challenges over the years, my blood pressure always remained normal. However, it started to be borderline and sometimes (which raised a lot of red flags for me) high causing headaches, so I realised I had to make some changes and stick to them, as my life depended on it!! I made a start but was not consistent especially with my exercise plan.
Being a part of The Six Week “Healthy You” Challenge has given me the boost I needed to make those changes and stick to them!!! I now exercise regularly, eat healthier, cleanse my mind daily and I feel so empowered by being in control again. My blood pressure is either normal or borderline (as I know I still have work to do) and I began to lose those pounds I needed to lose. I have gotten back the discipline I need to continue making and sticking to my lifestyle changes. Ladies of the group I know you do not know how much you have impacted my life but I thank you. My special and dear friend Pamela I thank you for continuing to be that priceless diamond in my life.
Be smart and make (L.E.A.N- Lifestyle.Exercise.Attitude.Nutrition) choices today, they can change your tomorrow! OR save a life by helping someone else get on the road to good health!
