Meeting with a Wellness Coach


I was getting a little bored with the workout on the machines so I met with the wellness coach to be re-evaluated. She told me that I had plenty of arm and leg exercises but I needed some core exercises. She went with me from machine to machine to make sure that I was doing them right and she set me up on some additional exercises for my core. She also told me that if I had any questions to let her know. She asked me what my goal was and I told her that I would like to weigh between 150 and 160 pounds but I work on ten pounds at a time. I lose ten pounds and then start working on the next ten. The more I lose the harder it is getting. I have been working on this last ten pounds for three weeks and have lost four pounds. I sometimes think that I should cut back on my food intake but Clarence tells me that I'm doing fine. He said if I cut back too much my blood sugar will drop and I will not be able to exercise.

Clarence also saw the wellness coach and she said that he was stronger than the last time that he was evaluated. She also said that he needed to lose a few pounds. He is satisfied with the workout that he is doing so she didn't give him anything else.

I really liked meeting with the wellness coach. It was free because I am a member at the HealthPlex. She was very helpful. When I am struggling with losing the weight I think she would be very helpful to keep me motivated and find other exercises I could do to help me achieve my goal.

  1. When I exercised in the morning the other day, one of the problems I had, was that whenever I lifted my arms above my head, I would get dizzy. I think my blood pressure might be too low in the mornings.
