The Softball Season will begin on Sunday, April 29, 2012 @5:00 p.m.

Softball is open to all current members only. All games are played Sunday evenings at Humphrey Park, 161st & Grovewood Avenue.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO GET ON A TEAM. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE BE PRESENT AT THE FIRST GAME TO PLACED ON A TEAM.

Next Game 5/27/12: Team B (Yellow) vs D (Grey) @ 5:00PM

Team A (Black) vs C (White) @ 6:30PM

Egg Whites are a permanent fixture on my grocery list and choosing the Southwestern style helps me mix up the flavor while still packing 1/2 the calories of a whole egg and still get 6g of protein just the same!

The Whole Wheat Pancakes allow me to get my pancake fix a few times per month without all the artificial additives in your typical box of processed pancake mix! Enjoy!

What motivated you to start NuLife?
Struggling with weight loss, I tried a couple gyms and did not get the results I wanted. Looking at the NuLife website, I was very inspired by the results people were getting, so I figured I’d give it a try.

For you, what is the difference between working out at NuLife versus other facilities?
NuLife is like a big family. It is very encouraging being motivated by the trainers and members. I look forward to coming to the classes and working out with people I have met there. When working out at other facilities I always started out going with my friends. When they stopped going I lost my motivation, so I also stopped. There was no one there to help along the way unless you paid extra fees.

What’s your favorite Nulife exercise(s), drill(s) or class?
My favorite class is Intermediate Step and my favorite exercise is “scissors on the bench”!!

What obstacles have you encountered? Are the obstacles the same after a considerable amount of weight loss?
The obstacles I have encountered are learning how to say “no” to unhealthy foods I have always eaten and finding healthy alternatives to my favorite dishes. Going from eating whatever I wanted to preparing healthy alternatives was actually an easy transition. I have found ways to prepare some real good meals that are all healthy. After losing the weight, an obstacle I still face is eating something not as healthy while thinking “I deserve to treat myself”. While going through this phase I have learned how to eat. I am able to incorporate certain foods back in, but I have to know my limit. Looking back where I came from and continuing to work out helps me stay on track.

How do you stay focused and motivated?
I stay focused and motivated by remaining humble with the person God has transformed me into. This was not an easy journey at all; therefore I do not take my accomplishments for granted. When I come to the classes I give it my all because I am pursuing a lifestyle change, not a temporary fix.

How has NuLife changed you socially, physically & mentally?
NuLife has changed me socially, physically & mentally by giving me back the confidence that was lost by my insecurities of being overweight. I now like the person I see in the mirror. A lot of people that knew me before I started losing weight have been complimenting me and encouraging me to stay focused. They also say I am a motivation to them and want to know what I eat and about my work outs. This really makes me feel good!

What are your personal fitness goals?
My personal fitness goals are to remain at a healthy weight and never return to where I came from. I always said I wanted to lose the weight while I was young to avoid health problems in the future. I would also like to start running.

What is your workout regiment (including Nulife and extra activities)?
My workout regiment includes Beginners & Intermediate Step Class, Boot Camp, iPump, riding the elliptical, and walking.

What would you say to others struggling with weight loss?
Don’t give up!! Weight loss is a daily battle, but you are the one who has to ultimately make the decision to take care of yourself. Stay focused and don’t get discouraged!!

What do you enjoy the most about NuLife?
I enjoy being in the NuLife family. I really appreciate the motivation received from Miesha and all the trainers. I have known Miesha for a while and she has always encouraged me not to give up. I also like that she knows every members name. She shows a true concern for everyone and wants to help them reach their goals.
