Fit Five: Tricia

Today’s Fit Five Friday features Tricia from New York. Let’s see what she has to say about health, fitness, and her body.

1. What do you love about your body?

I like my height. It’s great to be tall! Fortunately or unfortunately, it can hide weight gain. But, I also like my legs which tend to be on the skinny side! Thanks, Mom for them gams!

2. What would you like to change about your body?

I would like to change the way my body (and I know I am not the only one!) sags in strategic places. But, I do know that exercise can help with this problem. Maybe not completely, but trying is half the battle!

3. Have you ever been or are you currently on a diet?

I was just on a diet and lost 50 pounds which I had gained when I married my husband 22 years ago. No excuse for letting this go on so long since my genetic makeup is on the tall & thin side. How lazy and addicted to carbs was I? Not anymore. I have been successful for two months now. I am never going to gain the “fat” back!

4. Have you ever or do you currently belong to a gym? 

I have belonged to a gym as far back as I can remember. I am currently a member of the local YMCA, specifically the new one in Penfield. Fabulous facility and great people!

5. What does fitness mean to you?

Fitness mean everything to  me. As I age, it becomes so important to exercise and stay as fit as possible. I admit I am lazier than I should be, as I have the tools in front of me. But every day is a new day for working out! It is doubly hard for me since my husband is a sedentary person and I can’t get him to exercise.

Bonus: What is your current fitness goal?

My current fitness goal is to maintain my current weight, maybe lose another 5 lbs. or so, and to make sure that some form of exercise occurs on a daily basis.
