We will be following Shelley Sund's health and fitness journey for the next 12 months.  We are so excited to document her progress and share her journey with you.  ​

In her words...

My name is Shelley Sund, an “almost” 50 year-old Bangor area mom of 2 and wife to a Bangor High school teacher.  As of this fall, my husband and I are now labeled “empty nesters” with no teenage mouths to feed, rides to give, sports to follow and rooms to clean.  I would lie to say that it has been easy as we are not used to a quiet house and more time on our hands. We have been preparing for the physical abandonment, but we knew we also needed to focus on a priority shift….ourselves.  This included our health, our eating habits and our fitness.

I’ve always been an active person.  Through grade school and into college I played basketball, soccer and softball.  I am great at group participation where I can hide in the corner and do my thing. I am also very competitive. I like to win but I am horrible at pushing myself.  I don’t exercise at home and I am not a fan of long walks to running for fun and, for that, I am not the shape I once was - I’m overweight or as my family is known for “big-boned”.  

Before starting my path at Wilcox,  I had gym anxiety. I want to join the right gym where I can get great instruction and support, but the right centers are not in our budget.  We have 2 kids in college at the moment and I could not imagine spending any money on myself. It would seem selfish.

The experience that I have experienced over the last 4 weeks at Wilcox has been amazing.  From the first moments of meeting Paige and discussing my commitment, going over my personal fitness goals, and defining my future successes - I was hooked.  The motivation and professionalism of the staff creates such a great, welcoming environment. Never would I imagine that I would look forward to working so hard for myself.

I need to define my “healthy spirit” - the product of my health body and mind.  I need to find a sense of wholeness, a sense of knowing me, and a sense of something far greater and more wonderful than what my body looks like or my day-to-day lifestyle.  I need to make myself a priority and commit to focus on my personal successes. 

My goals are to feel healthy, sleep better, find a balanced/consistent schedule of work and exercise, (honestly) lose some weight and learn to maintain a healthy/future lifestyle. 

Right now, my goal is to have a LONG TERM goal!  I need to make my life about me! I need to find my healthy spirit…. and now I know that I am on the right path.

“I’m committing to me!”
