Q: What do you like most about the Plaza Health Club?
A: That it is so convenient and the staff-they are absolutely wonderful!!
Q: How long have you been exercising and what was your daily routine prior to beginning an exercise regimen?
A: I have always been athletic and participated in many sports. 14 years ago (after kids) I joined Weight Watchers and found that walking and/or running really helped with my weight loss. I never had to "exercise" before because I was always playing volleyball, softball, swimming and walking so I didn't worry about my eating habits. I was always on the go.
Q: What were your eating habits like?
A: Before WW, not good. Once I learned to make better choices, my eating habits improved. I have been a Weight Watchers Lifetime Member since 1996. However, I have refocused a few times to get back on track. Because I have the knowledge, I know exactly what I need to do to stay on track.
Q: What are your current exercise routine and eating habits?
A: My goal is to work out at least 3 times per week. I try to run 3 days a week and strength train 2 days. I picked up golf last year, so I also try to get out to the range-weather permitting-and have actually played a few times. I bring my breakfast and lunch to work and keep healthy snacks in my desk. I also drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. The water can be a challenge, but I use Crystal Light flavors for a variety.
Q: How long has it been since you started working out at the Plaza and what accomplishment(s) have you achieved?
A: I rejoined the Plaza one year ago! It has helped me get back on track with meeting my goal weight as well lost several inches. I feel much better and find I have more energy. I feel much healthier!
Q: What is your favorite vacation spot?
A: Visiting our friends on Cat Island in SC.

A: Los Hermanos

Q: If I could I would?
A: Retire; spend more time with my family and play more golf!!!
