I was under considerable stress, my blood pressure was very high and there is a history of heart disease as well as other medical concerns in my family so I joined the gym (once again) last January and have been working out on a fairly regular basis.  Although I spend a lot of time there and have lost a little weight I am not seeing any significant results.  I am intimidated by the weight lifters and tend to use only the cardio and the machines.

One of the biggest challenges for me is asking someone for help.  I try to do everything myself and have a difficult time accepting help.  Another major challenge is to heal my emotional body.  I have the inclination to take the ostrich approach to difficult situations but realize that whether you do something or nothing there is always an outcome and consequence.  I want to transform my physical as well as emotional body and stop living my life in fear. l want to learn how to take charge and face life's difficulties as a healthy, fit, confident and happy person.

My ultimate goal is to accept the challenge, succeed and be healthy and confident so that I may in some way pay it forward. I would appreciate the opportunity to do this journey with you.
