From 2km to 15km

Thank you to Feeling Healthy! – Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I could run 2km let along 15km!

It all started when my sister in law told me that I had to get a massage from Edmore, ‘he is incredible” she said and relived her from back pain. Thankfully I took her advice and made an appointment. Who would have ever thought by just getting a massage I would be changing the direction of the most important thing in my life “MY HEALTH & FITNESS”.

Over a few visits Edmore tried to convince me to take baby steps and challenge myself to be able to obtain weight loss and fitness goals that I wanted to achieve. Well I have to be honest with you I thought I would just agree and humour him because I really didn’t think I could do it. But before I knew it I was looking up fun runs and came across the Run for the Kids which cover a 5km & 15km course. When I saw that the 15km went through the Domain Tunnel and over the Bolte Bridge I wanted to do this run.

On my next visit Edmore asked me if I found a fun run to do, when I told him what I wanted to do, not only was he over the moon for me but helped me with my training as I had no idea where to start. With every visit we would discuss where I was at with my training and what I needed to do next. Then my world just opened up more when Edmore introduced me to Rosanna who helped me with my health and weight loss goals.

Like probably the majority of the population I have tried many weight loss programs but only had short terms results. I was informed by an Oncologist that I needed to loose 10kg as my body was carrying a lot of visceral fat around vital organs. I did loose quite a bit on my own but must admit it was a hard battle and did take 2 years. Then I became stuck in that wonderful thing we call Plateau and nothing worked, which left me feeling really flat and disheartened.

The best thing that then happened for me was the Weight Loss Blast course run by Rosanna. I lost 1.5kg within 3 weeks and increased muscle growth. But best of all couldn’t believe my energy levels! The thing I really like about this course is you are not set menus but taught how to read labels, which foods do what and so much more. I still have two more weeks with this program and couldn’t be more excited to seeing positive results happening for me.

I can’t thank Edmore and Rosanna for all the new tools they have taught me and always going that one step more than they have to! I have no hesitation in recommending “Feeling Healthy” to anyone. And at the young age of 53 you can still learn great things for a better healthy life style, with the right people around you to help you with your journey.

Edmore and Rosanna, I can’t thank you enough and I feel truly wonderful and alive again. My journey started from a simple massage and then tackling challenges like the 5km Colour Run to the 15km Run for the Kids. I look forward to many more new adventures and with you all in my corner know I’m finally headed in the right direction.
