My journey started in 2013.  Pierre, My Son and Personal Trainer at Vision Engadine had been encouraging me for some time to look at my lifestyle and commit to working toward a positive, healthy change.  I am a Registered Nurse and work rotating shifts so my schedule was the most prevalent excuse I used to neglect my health.

I had been active and at a healthy weight during most of my life but my last two pregnancies when I was 39 and 43 years of age changed my lifestyle and attitude.  I developed poor eating habits, became a carboholic and didn't exercise.  I had zero commitment to myself.  

I began my journey slowly only becoming serious in late 2016.  I have often been my own worst enemy and habits developed over the past 15 years were hard to break.  However, with the constant support of my Son and Trainer I have slowly begun to unpack and destroy any negative approaches and thoughts on health and lifestyle.  I track my food and exercise in VVT, sometimes not perfectly but I am a work in progress.  Vision's approach has led me to a 21 kg weight loss so far.  I'm so strong and vibrant now, people can't believe I'm 59 years of age.  

I love working out, especially weight training as it allows me to be far more effective in my very physical role as a Registered Nurse.  I cherish the family vibe at Vision Engadine, the studio is awesome.  The support and friendship that flows through the studio is phenomenal.  I will never again lose focus on myself or my healthy life path.  I have my Son and the Vision Engadine family to thank for that.
