Suzanne was FED UP and decided to do something about it and we couldn’t be more happier and proud of her! AND her dog, Luca, got more fit too!
How much weight have you lost?
45 pounds
What made you decide to start focusing on your health?
Over the past year, I had seen not only my mother but brother get diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on top of high blood pressure and cardiac issues and I felt obesity and lack of exercise was the biggest contributing factor for them. I didn’t want that to be my future!
I also was having more and more allergy issues and having to take double the amount of over the counter allergy meds. On top of the medication, I still would have uncontrollable sneezing and congestion on top of feeling like I was living in a medication haze. Now, I am off the extra meds and not sick all the time.
What did you do first your start losing weight? I eliminated gluten and processed foods on top of walking everyday.
What kind of activity did you start doing and how did you feel? I walked everyday after work or went to the gym for the elliptical. As time when on, I loved how I felt stronger and more energetic. I also liked that I could hike up hills that left me gasping for breath when I started.
When did you start feeling better? Not right away, maybe 6 weeks in.
What can you do today that you could not do last year at this time? I have started running with my husky, Luca, as well as attending Dawn’s Saturday morning class. Dawn also puts out a “homework” calendar so we keep moving in between classes and when I was having knee issues, she taught me to roll and it helped immediately.
Not only have I lost weight and feel healthier, but my running partner, Luca, has lost weight and is much happier and healthier as well. He loves going to class and I love to spend time with him instead of leaving him at home while I go to a gym. Dawn’s classes combine exercise with basic obedience and socialization at the same time so it’s a win win situation for both of us.
Way to go Suzanne!! We are THRILLED to have you back in class and love your smile!
