May’s Message from General Manager Lisa Gregorich April 27, 2012
A friend of mine was always looking to lose weight. She just couldn’t find the motivation. Even when she was diagnosed with diabetes, she didn’t believe in her heart that she could really do it.
One day I saw her walking on a treadmill. When she was done I asked her, “Why don’t you run? You have to push!” She told me she couldn’t. “Yes you can,” I told her. “You just need to stop convincing yourself that you can’t.”
The very next day, she was running. “I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!” I screamed, proudly. Since then, she has lost over 30lbs and at her last doctor’s appointment, she no longer had diabetes. Never underestimate yourself. You can do anything you put your mind to. Anything.
