D.H.

January 2009 I had not been feeling well. I was very stressed, emotionally fragile and I started to become forgetful and unfocused. My knees ached, my feet ached and I got winded walking and climbing stairs. My weight was close approaching 300#. That was a lot to carry on my 5’ 4” frame. In October I had the opportunity to participate in “Look Good Naked Boot Camp.” I had heard great things about boot camp classes and thought-why not? It can only help. I discussed my health concerns with my trainers. They worked with me and adjusted for my limitations. We took good care to listen to the advice of my physician. However, I did get appropriate pushes to stretch me. We set measurable health goals. I ran my first 5k in January 2010, and by February i lost 100 pounds.  In total I ran 15 races in 2010.  I'm so grateful to be healthy and alive.
