Season Two, E. 9 - It's Never Too Late
Well, it's about that time that we all start thinking about getting into shape...okay, honestly, it seems like it's always about that time, but today we are doing something about it! Our guests are Bonnie Giampa and Briar Krieger who together run Balance Fitness Studio in Virgil. They are also the ladies behind the Eight Week Challenge.
I first met these ladies when my friend Joanne convinced me to join her team for the Challenge a year ago. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't easy to stick with it, but I did lose weight and I did feel better. And, I have kept up a lot of the good habits I adopted while doing it!
The first thing you will notice when you meet Bonnie and Briar is that they are so positive. They make you feel like you can do it too! Every week I would get an email from one of them to help keep me motivated.
On the show, we talked a lot about how it is never too late to do something about your health and fitness level. Briar pointed out that you don't have to join a gym or running group or anything else if that doesn't work for you...you just need to do SOMETHING. Start going for walks. Make conscious choices about your diet. YOU are in control of YOU. That might be the hardest part, accepting responsibility for yourself, because at the end of the day it really is up to you to make the changes.
Thank you ladies for being such an inspiration.
PS...The black bean and cocoa "brownies" are actually really good despite what Jacquie says!!!
