Introductions

Hello,

My name is Patricia. I live in Calgary but am originally from Montreal.

This is my 3rd Kickstart and I have learned something about myself with each session. Originally I joined to lose weight and while I really would like to lose 20 lbs, my focus (and what I hope to gain) is to become healthier through better nutrition an increased activity. I struggled with the first Kickstart and as soon as life got a little bit hectic, I could not maintain my commitments. I learned that I must keep my commitments small to help me succeed and encourage me to continue. For example, in the last kickstart program, one of my commitments was to engage in a physical activity at least once per week (previous round of Kickstart my commitment was 5 times per week). I was able to keep this up and since then, I have been able to increase this to a minimum of 3 times per week, and most often have been able to do 5-6x per week! Keeping my commitments small works for me, but I will increase to a commitment of 3x physical activity per week for this session. I am excited to continue to build physical activity into my life and I am excited to get started!

Fun fact about me...hmmm, I really love dogs and I speak three languages (English, French, Polish and some Spanish).
