What does this orchid have to do with losing weight and getting in shape?

July 22, 2017 By Michelle Rogers

I have two lovely orchids that are blooming now, but a few months ago, they looked more like sticks and I wasn’t even sure they were alive. I’ve never had much of a green thumb.

But hoping it wasn’t too late, I repotted them into larger containers, with better soil to nourish them, and moved them outside to the deck. Before long, they both started growing dramatically — one of them about 2 feet. And then, last week they bloomed! Now they’re beautiful and healthy and you would never know they ever looked any differently.

It wasn’t too late for either of these plants. It just needed someone to provide the right conditions and give it the attention it needed to thrive and reach its potential so it could become the beautiful, healthy plant it was created to be.

In the same way, when it comes to losing weight and making a change to a healthier lifestyle, the right environment and assistance can make all the difference between failure and success.

I know, I’ve been there myself. I struggled for decades on my own with yo-yo dieting, weight gain, and trying and failing to stick with exercise. All of that failure can make you question yourself – What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I overcome this? Why do I keep failing?

Maybe it’s because you need an environment that will enable you to succeed. In other words, the right type of exercise and food plan that works for YOU, and the professional guidance, accountability and support to get you on the right track and to ensure that you stay there so that you can accomplish your goals.

I may not be a gardener, but I am a certified fitness and health professional who can help guide you to success in your journey. I specialize in beginners, and those who have tried and failed! And I exclusively work with women over 40, Boomers and seniors.

It’s never too late to get healthier and live your best life now. So why continue to struggle on your own? I am here to help you get to where you want to be, and I’ll be there with you every step the whole way. My life’s mission is to help you succeed!
