Chelsea's updates. RyR'ers: Making Fitness a Lifestyle


Jeanel and Mary are rockstars!  Each are making progress.  Small steps are paying off and consistency is the name of the game.

Jeanel improved her Splash and Dash times from the last time she participated.  In 2008 she finished in 43:29 and yesterday she finished in 39:19.  Wow!  How cool.  Master swim and practice payed off.  She is also wearing pants from 2006 that she hasn't been able to fit into.  And even when work or motivation gets in the way, she is hopping right back on the wagon when life knocks her off. 

Mary is still getting to the gym in the week when sometimes she'd rather stay in bed.  She knows what she is working for and she keeps putting one foot in front of the other.  She use to have immense tightness in her hips and lower back.  With a consistent workout plan and attention to flexibility, our workouts have sky rocketed!  She is doing things she couldn't do due to tightness.  And this gives her confidence and motivation.  She is also wearing clothes that use to sit in the closet and taunt her.
My girls rock, for they keep chugging along.  Life gets in the way and it only takes them a few to get right back on track.  That's the important part of this contest!  Making fitness a lifestyle............
