November 2009 Client of the Month: Mike Kawesa

 

I have always tried to lose weight. I’d run on the treadmill for an hour at a time, and in the beginning I did lose weight; then I started gaining it back without changing anything about my routine. I was discouraged, so I stopped trying. There are many reasons to get in shape such as health, family history of diabetes, hypertension and more; however, when you have trouble fitting into a rollercoaster seat at Universal Studios you know you really have a problem. This was about a month before I came to Alaska. Once I settled in I decided it was time to do something for myself. I joined Body Renew after a coworker recommended it. After a month of 3 weekly grueling 5AM sessions with my trainer David Cheney I lost 12lbs and ten inches around my torso! Dave explained that diet would also be an important part of the training, I had to give up coke, Burger King, McDonalds and I really miss pasta and tuna. My goal is to lose 80lbs by next September, and I have 69lbs left to go. Thanks to Dave and Body Renew I don’t have to worry about fitting into a rollercoaster anymore.
