Hi, my name is Tami Kuehn. Why do I
need a transformation?
Well nine months ago I wiped out on
my mountain bike in the Delta
Watershed and got 10 stitches in my
knee. That rendered me unable to
exercise for a while. Prior to that
injury I had planned to train for
the Sea to Summit race as a
motivating factor to get me into
awesome shape. By the time I was
fully healed and able to train, it
was too late. With that lack of a
goal and motivation, I began to get
lazy and put regular exercise on the
backburner and focused on other
areas of my life. With me, what
often goes hand in hand with not
exercising is poor eating habits.
Well as you can guess, the
combination of the two have put me
in the worst shape I’ve ever been in
my life. The other day I was
leading worship with the kids at our
church and I was out of breath. I
thought, “this is ridiculous!” All
through high school and university,
I was involved in sports teams, and
had that team or coach to push and
motivate me. Now that I’m in the
workforce and don’t have those, I’ve
realized I struggle with motivating
myself. This challenge is exactly
what I need to rekindle my desire
for working out and to bring me to
a fitness level that encourages me
and creates in me a desire to
maintain it. What I want to gain
from this transformation is to be
fit by the summer so I can do the
challenging hikes such as the Grouse
Grind and the Chief without feeling
like I’m going to die. Of course
when you’ve been really fit and you
become unfit, vanity always comes
into play. I would love to have the
definition in my body that I once
had. I want to decrease my
percentage body fat and increase my
muscle mass to produce a slim, trim
me. I know my body can get there,
it just needs to be pushed. With
your guidance and my determination
and perseverance, I know we could
create a transformation that would
wow even myself. I am ready to put
my all into this and would be so
excited if you would choose me as
one of the fifty participants.
Gratefully, Tami Kuehn |
