I am looking forward to making connections with folks along the way and sharing the healthy lifestyle my parents instilled in me as I was growing up. This is a unique opportunity to share my belief in health and well-being while doing something that brings together my personal interests of career, family and the community. I am hoping that by taking on this challenge, I will not only be able to instill these values in my two young daughters, but will also gain their respect and admiration for accomplishing such a challenging and worthwhile task.
Reasons for adopting an active lifestyle
I have lived my entire life this way because my mother always emphasized the importance of making responsible lifestyle choices. At nearly 70 years old my mother is still going strong, and I plan on doing the same!
Why a healthy lifestyle is important
This is important as it improves my physical as well as emotional health. Like many people, my life is extremely hectic, and I find that healthy living provides me with the best foundation for dealing with all that comes my way.
One piece of advice to help others live a healthier life
Start small and build off of every success, but if you fall off the wagon, don’t beat yourself up. Simply get back on and keep striving for the small victories.
