Entry #8
The answer is short and sweet (literally). Beth
UFC Gym bugged me for over a year offering to let me try anything and everything that they offered for fitness. I gained a ton of weight last summer due to an unexpected illness and REALLY wanted to lose weight but there was nothing anyone could do to get me to self-motivate to go to a gym and workout. … Read More »
Entry #7
Beth texted me one day last week to congratulate me for “walking .3 miles with my dog”. OMG…I had no idea that some of My Fitness Pal entries alerted her to my activity! So I started paying attention to my messages and the logs and learned that she was logging her food and exercise every day. … Read More »
Since my last entry at the end of March, Beth and I decided we weren’t ready to give up our private lessons with Jose just yet! However, we’ve joined the gym (UFC Gym- Perimeter) and have tried a few classes in addition to our private twice per week sessions with Jose (Who happens to be the employee of the month at UFC this month!)… Read More »
Please remember that pre-2016 Audra NEVER worked out. I walked my dog daily but never for long distances or at a swift pace. I’m busy…dreadfully busy… but taking care of my body and making time for exercise never made it to the top of my priority list. 2016 Audra is hooked on exercise.

As usual, Jose wonderfully managed the myriad of fitness levels in the group and nobody felt overwhelmed, stupid or bored! … Read More »
I could barely raise my arms to wash my hair this morning but believe it or not I still like Jose. Beth and I have been working out at UFC Gym twice per week for about 6 weeks now. … Read More »
It has been two weeks since my first entry and believe it or not I still like Jose! I’m sore every day but it “hurts so good” and the few pounds I’ve lost are so worth the pain!
I’m also feeling smarter because I’ve increased my vocabulary during this process. Here are a few of the words I’ve learned:
Interestingly enough, I bought one of each for my house and Beth did too! … Read More »
Today my friend Beth and I start an exercise program with our new personal trainer. In exchange for a few month’s of training I agreed to write about my experience. Just so you’ll know… I. DON’T. EXERCISE. Not unless you call walking George exercise. I also love to cook and try new food. However, as I’m nearing 50 my body is telling me that it will feel better and last longer if I make some healthy adjustments to my lifestyle. … Read More »
