365 Days of Commitment

7/2/2015

0 Comments

 
It was 1 year ago today that Lori made her commitment to healthy living and began training with us at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness. We received a letter this morning from Lori in which she shared her 365 day journey with us. Lori's story is a journey of consistency and dedication to a healthy lifestyle. In the last year, Lori has truly enhanced her life by forming healthy habits she will keep with her for a lifetime. Here is her letter: 



​"I remember bits of my first workout. I remember doing the running drills and thinking, oh no, I can't run. Why do they have to do running here?"


"What has changed this time is I WANT to come every day. It is not a chore. It's been an amazing mental transformation. I needed a fitness community and Wilcox Wellness & Fitness has created an amazing one."


"All this to say THANK YOU! Seriously, you are great at what you do!"
Hi Mike, 

It wasn't until my alarm went off this morning that I realized that today is July 1st...my one year anniversary attending Wilcox Wellness and Fitness! I'm not a person who remembers dates or celebrates anniversaries (I have to look up my own wedding date, much to the annoyance of my husband) but I remember June 30th of 2014 because I could palpably feel that change was coming. 

I remember bits of my first workout. I remember doing the running drills and thinking, oh no, I can't run. Why do they have to do running here? (I still think this some days, but I'm getting over it. ) You poked your head into the line going around and said, "Hi, I'm Mike." I introduced myself and you said "Welcome". I completed that first workout and even though I was probably a mess and definitely couldn't finish everything, I felt strong! More than that I thought, how strong will I be if I do this all the time, consistently? 

Consistency has been an issue for me. I love fitness but have never stuck with it consistently for more than a few months at a time. What has changed this time is I WANT to come every day. It is not a chore. It's been an amazing mental transformation. I needed a fitness community and Wilcox Wellness & Fitness has created an amazing one.

Physically, I feel so much stronger than I did a year ago. I've tended to focus on the wrong things in the past, such as my weight or appearance, but this year, even when those habits of thought tried to tell me to focus on "losing weight", I instead concentrated on how much less anxious I am, how my lower back doesn't ache anymore...ever, and the awesome feeling of painful sneezes reminding me that I got an amazing core workout in the day before. Even though my focus has been on how I feel, without trying to lose weight, I have had physical changes this past year that are better than a number on a scale. I'm learning to not be obsessed with the scale, but with my body and it's ability to function.

All this to say THANK YOU! Seriously, you are great at what you do! Katie is so positive and has been helpful and seriously motivating to me. Scott seems to have an extra sense for detecting when I'm not giving it my all and handing me a heavier weight. Jon, he scares me with his giddiness for torturing us, but he's great and his workouts are always unique and effective. 

Thankyouthankyouthankyou,

Lori ​
Thank you Lori for sharing your story with us!  Congratulations on your accomplishments over the past year.  Enjoy the rewards that your healthy lifestyle brings.  
Happy Training!
