Health Basics was my Kick Start to a Healthier Weight
Health Basics was my Kick Start to a Healthier Weight
I am a retired nurse so I know quite a bit about living healthy. However over my last year of work, I had a sedentary job and felt tired so I did not put as much energy into my own lifestyle and my weight increased. I was getting a lot of heartburn and I knew weight loss and lifestyle are the first line of treatment.
So, after I retired I asked my doctor to send me to Health Basics. It was good to go every week, to have to be accountable, to have others to discuss my choices with as well as to pick up on things from class that I had let slide. I went through the 8-week program and lost 9 pounds. As I know how important it is to continue living healthy and be accountable to myself, I rejoined TOPS which I was a member of a number of years ago. I also continued with exercise classes and yoga at the Golden Circle and now I am down 17 pounds just over 4 months after I started down this path. I am feeling great: stronger, fitter, and almost no heartburn. Health Basics has helped me to enjoy retirement!”
PS: “I knew Health Basics is a great kick start on healthy living as my husband had attended it years ago when he was diagnosed with diabetes. He followed the class recommendations, has lost over 75 pounds over the years, and feels great too.”
