My name is Karen Skidmore, and I am the owner of Completely Fit, a personal training and fitness company located in Mount Airy, Md. I am a team leader for one of the groups in The Mommies Network Weigh-In Challenge.
All my team members have started off strong and are working very hard to accomplish their goals. They were asked to fill out a detailed questionnaire about their current nutritional and fitness habits, and answer questions about what changes they wanted to create. Based on that information, I have helped each person come up with a detailed action plan that will not only help to accomplish her goals, but more importantly, help to improve her lifestyle.
If you are looking to make a change in your life but are not a part of the Weigh-In Challenge, you too can do it with just a few small changes at a time.
If your nutrition is off track, start by taking away one unhealthy food once a week and replacing it with a healthy food.
If your exercise routine is off track, start by finding something you really enjoy doing ? walking, biking, or swimming ? and adding 10 minutes of that exercise to your day. Before you know it, exercise will have become a daily routine.
Be sure to track your results, as we do much better when we can see our progress.
I am very excited to be a part of this group and team, and I look forward to reporting our successes back to you each month.
