Here are a few words from Marguerite about her personal wellness plan...






I am so honored and humbled to be chosen as the ?Fittest Employee of the Month.?† My journey to becoming more fit actually began over fifteen years ago when my daughter and I participated in a weight loss program call First Place, which is very similar to Weight Watchers, but with a† Bible study included.† I reached my goal of being able to wear a certain size of clothes, but maintaining my weight in order to stay that size is always a struggle.† In fact, one of my daughters accuses me of being obsessed with my size and weight.† I suppose in a way that is true; however, my motivation is more than just vanity.† As I get closer to becoming a senior citizen, I want to be healthy and productive during those years, and the only way I can do that is to start as early as possible practicing a healthy lifestyle.† That is why I go to the gym six days a week and take tennis here at the college.† I enjoy exercising much more than I enjoy watching what I eat.† I constantly struggle with food choices; I know what is good for me and what is not.† My food selections are not always the healthiest; however, I have come to the realization that a healthy lifestyle is more of a mindset than it is about food choices.† I just live my life every day trying to do and eat those things that are good for me.† If I miss a day of exercising, or I eat something that I shouldn?t, I try not to be too hard on myself.† Tomorrow is another day. †
