That's a picture of me. My security came from focusing on others and completely ignoring my own health and needs. Fast forward to my move to Tucson. Since I knew only Gail and Ron (sister-in-law and brother) I was on a journey of my own. Here it became glaringly evident how 'out of shape' I was. After 6 months of looking at the evidence (my reflection in the mirror and my shortness of breath swimming, biking and hiking), I knew I needed to take charge.
After an online search and a couple dead-end inquires I landed in Telos Strength and Conditioning. Don't you just love when you find the perfect person, place or thing when you don't even know what you are looking for?

being sidetracked

rachel
in the guise of a cheerleader
all smiles and encouragement
she is my face

i will be mindful
with each session
to keep my eyes open
to the treasure of health
to embrace the dark part
along with the light
if i stumble
i will ask for help
excuses are generally self-doubt
