Josie,
We talked months back when I was trying to get back to exercising. I wanted to write to you and tell you my story. I started with you when you first launched your App. I had been working out in some why most of my adult life. At that time I was working out a couple days a week and struggled with a curved spine, tear in my bicep and left hip pain. I was trying not to give up with working out but the pain was making it hard to continue.
I decided to go to see a pain doctor who recommended a nerve block without giving me a direct answer as to what was causing my pain. The curve spine was inherited and my age (70 last month) was not making it any better. When I left the doctors office I made an appointment for the procedure. When I got home I was totally defeated and basically set down and cried.
At this point you are probably wondering when I am going to get to the point.😉 I decided to try one more time to exercise and I turned on your App. You looked at me and basically told me to do my best and anything I could do was a win. You told me I have to keep moving and it would get better. I decided to listen to you and I canceled my nerve block. This was last February. I started slow and made changes in my eating habits (at your recommendation).
Fast forward to today. I do atleast one exercise from your App(sometimes more) six days a week. I started eating organic, grass fed beef, free range and eat process carbs sparingly. My sugar intake only happens by mistake (forgot to read the labels). I've lost 23 lbs and I feel better than I have for a long time. When I saw my doctor in August of 2023 she told me I wasn't over weight. I wasn't dieting I was just eating smart like you recommended.
I'm not crazy Josie, I know you weren't talking only to me, but it helped to think you were. Do I still have pain, of course I am 70 years old, but thanks to you 95% of the time I wake up in the morning excided to be alive.
When I see people make comments about you or your workouts, I can't help but think if they only knew! If they only knew that everything you do on your App has been life changing to me. You have a follower and a fan for life.
Thank you, Josie!
Wendy
