My Trip to the Mall
I have been working with Lynette for about 15 months. My weight loss has been slow, but steady. My clothes were beginning to be noticeably baggy. Friends were telling me I needed new clothes, so I went shopping. Instinctively, I went to the Big Woman’s department. I have been buying the W sizes for over 20 years. I selected several pairs of slacks in my usual size 22W. I saw the bagginess and knew that I needed a smaller size. I progressed through the 20Ws, then 18Ws, finally I dared the 16W. It fit!! I realized that I had graduated to another department. I made my purchase and said a contented goodbye to the WOMAN’s department. Walking to the “Normal sized” clothes, I felt lighter. It was not so much the reduction in pounds that I experienced as it was my mental, psychological and spiritual attitude were different. The connection between body, mind and spirit were in copasetic sync. My new department has numerous choices in colors and styles. Tears of joy flowed as I made new purchases. I left the store to join my husband in the mall. I hugged him and began to cry. I am not one to cry easily or often. So when tears do come, he just holds me and knows that something deep is emerging. “What is it?” he asked. I squeaked out, “I bought size 16 pants in the regular department.” He held me for a while longer and then we began to walk. To be sure he was correctly reading the female heart, he said “You are happy, right?”
The “copasetic sync” I experienced while shopping emphasizes that life is best seen from a holistic view My experience in personal training with Lynette has underscored my belief that who we are physically, mentally, psychologically and spiritually are inextricably linked. -Debra
Changed My Life!
Hey Lynette! Glad to hear you are doing well it is encouraging to get these emails from you, they keep me motivated!!!! I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that I got the opportunity to do the meltdown class- it really changed my life! I didn't realize how much my bad eating habits were affecting me and I'm so much more confident and happy with myself now! I did an 8K race on Thanksgiving in under 53 minutes, and plan on doing the 10K Bridge Run in February! I have officially lost 25 pounds since I started meltdown and really owe it all to you! Thanks Lynette:) Cara
Chi-Running Improved My Time!
After the Chi running workshop, I learned I was landing on my toes while running. The workshop helped me correct this problem and showed me how to use lean to get more speed. Five days after the workshop, I set a personal best time in a 5k - (20 minutes and 28 seconds); an improvement of 18 seconds from my previous best time. The Chi running workshop made the difference and I expect to see even better results as I practice and make Chi running second nature. Rex
