Dear Dave,
Happy Easter and also Happy April Fool's Day!!!
So
we're now 3 months into the new year. How you
making out with your resolutions?
My
2013 resolution was to lose some weight and get in
better shape. I noticed that I was really starting
to pack on the pounds and I wasn't exactly feeling
good about the way I was looking. I blame age
(over 40) and a busy travel schedule as the main
culprits, but by the New Year I was over
232lbs!!!! Yikes.
To
make matters worse, I'm one of those people who
absolutely hates working out. I hate it I tell
you!!! A friend of mine (Edna Ray from Air Canada)
once famously said that the only time she ever
stepped foot inside a gym was on hotel site
inspections and that always cracked me up because
I could sooooo relate to that.
Anyways, I decided to join Weight Watchers and I
made a committment to start going to the gym in
our building. I don't go overboard, I just do 30
minutes on the treadmill, but I do it EVERY DAY
(well, almost). And guess what, now I don't hate
it (too much).
As
you can see it's woriking!!!
I
radomly picked 199lbs as my goal weight because I
thought it would be nice to be able to say I was
under 200lbs. I'm 6'2", so we'll see how I feel
when I get there.
I'm
already noticing clothes fitting better and I am
feeling a lot healthier. Weight Watchers is really
big on filling up on fruits and vegetables in
addition to portion control so I think it's one of
the healthier diets out there.
Do
you remember when Kristie Alley was on Jenny Craig
and she famously showed up on Oprah in her bathing
suit? Well maybe I'll do a similar big reveal in
the newseltter and we'll see how many unsubscribes
we get that month!!! LOL
Oh,
before I forget, I wanted to let you know I do
have a bit of good news. Lulu (the dog we were
fostering) found a great home. She was adopted by
a very nice couple from Washington State. The wife
works from home, which is great since Lulu has
separation anxiety. We've already had updates from
them and they said that Lulu has settled in really
well and they are already in-love with her.
Have a great month and as always if you need
anything please don't hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Freddie Marsh, CTC
