Health and Well Being Check In… Three Months into the New Year (January-March)

Healthy Lifestyle and Eating the WW Way

No matter your age or your current status you have the power within to create the life and the person you dream of being and becoming! Each day provides us with a new start! The WW’s facebook page that I follow often posts inspiration messages that I enjoy and that are good reminders such as this one:

It’s really hard to believe it’s almost April! Do you remember how you felt in January at the start of a new year? Many of us make resolutions about improving our health, decreasing our weight and becoming more physical. Personally, I like to set goals for myself. A goal seems more attainable for some reason. My goal this year is to become more physically fit now that I’m thinner. Being thin and fit is my ultimate goal!

I’m proud to report that I think I’m doing a good job of moving my body regularly and trying new physical activities. I recently went roller skating with my granddaughter, which is something I hadn’t done in a really, really, really long time! We had a blast! It was also a throw back to my high school days when we skated here almost every weekend!

My aerial yoga class began last week. After calming down over the spinning and being nervous about feeling nauseous, I LOVE IT! There are eight of us in the class and the instructor, Heather, who is very patient! I’m the oldest in the class but feeling proud about that fact! Never too old to try new things! Aerial yoga will be a future post for sure!

Plow Pose – We did this pose my first week in the class!

Why the selfie in the mirror in a bathroom? Because I’m at work and in order for me to keep a routine that’s workable, I change at work and go straight to the gym before going home. I typically do 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weight machines. I’ve also been walking/running on the track at the gym. I can’t run non-stop so I’ll walk several laps and then run.

    Julie, you look great!
    Are you on a maintenance plan now with WW?
    I rejoined WW in January and am losing so slow. Your journey is inspiring!

      Hi Anita,

      Yes, I am now a lifetime WW member provided that I weight in monthly and am within 2 pounds of my goal weight. However, I continue to go almost weekly as I enjoy the support of the meetings, etc. Plus my husband is still on his journey. I’m sure you don’t have much to loss so it will come off slower. I know that if you stay true to the plan it works! I appreciate your kind words Anita!
