This morning I took a strength test at the Mashpee Koko. When I got the results I also most fell over. I had a strength increase of 89%! Who does that? That’s insane! I brought my Q score (a measure of overall progress) from what thought was an amazing 61 – to – get this: 73! That’s even more insane. And if you have been following my “food project” this month on the New Lifestyle Diet, you would know I made a serious commitment to dropping that e-BMI from 31.7 down to 29 – the Koko fit zone. The last report I made in the post I Moved It!, I brought it down to 30.3and I was thrilled. Know what it was today? 29.5! So…if that wasn’t enough to say I had an amazing day, read on.
I went to work up in the Harwich Koko at noon and the amzingness continued. I had a woman come walking in who broke her neck two years ago and spent a long time in a chair recovering and now she has to rebuild her strength. I put her through a complimentary session and she wanted to go home and talk about it with her husband. As I was literally locking up the cabinets to go home tonight, she called and booked an appointment with me for Monday to join and take her strength test. Next a member did better on a strength test than he ever thought he would and surprised himself. Another member came to me and said she saw her cardiologist yesterday and he was shocked at her progress and told her whatever she’s doing, keep it up. Then she demonstrated how she can now bend down and get right up where a few months ago she bent down and couldn’t get up and had to crawl to a cabinet to pull herself up. Another member came to me very proud – she hit a goal she set for herself – one month of perfect workouts. And if all that isn’t enough…another member wrote a testimonial about her progress after one month and talked about how my partner up there and me helped her to feel so much better. She’s going to write it on our club Facebook page.
And that’s why I love doing what I do. At Koko Fit Club we are not just another gym. We truly make a difference in peoples lives.
And so, as another day goes by, my heart is light, my days are busy and happy, it’s Friday night and hubby is almost here, and, yes, I have written because passion is a true motivator.
I know, I can’t quite believe it myself! And look – in a year and four months I’ve lifted a MILLION pounds! Insane for a 60 year old retired woman! Lol!
