On April 28th I participated in the Napa Race for Education 5K. My husband and 8 year old daughter joined me, so it was truly a family effort.  The weather was perfect for a morning spent outdoors among other families and groups of friends.

I joined Exertec because of the stress in my life. Stress is the cause of a lot of illnesses.

While stress is the main reason for joining, losing weight is not bad either.  Have I been able to reach my goals? Yes!  I am now at a much more comfortable weight and I just feel so much better.

 

National Volunteer Week is coming up again!

We will be volunteering our time in the following projects:

You may have seen a recent episode of 60 Minutes where Dr. Sanjay Gupta interviewed physicians and researchers about the evils of sugar consumption. Doctors explained how excess sugar in our diets is linked to obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and now heart disease.

I joined Exertec when I was pregnant with my third daughter, Lucy, who will be five this May.  I joined with my sister, Tristan, who was battling cancer.  She died before Lucy was born.  Exercise became my Prozac.  It helped buoy me through that dark time.

“If I could just lose weight, I’d be so much happier.”

“Having more money would take my stress away.”

“If only I could finally get organized—then I’d never feel overwhelmed again.”

“If I had more time, I’d be able to cook healthier meals.”
