[BlindTlk] reaching your 2019 health and fitness goals

[Julie Johnson]

I would like to invite any interested folks to a phone group to encourage and support each other as we move toward our individual health and fitness related goals.

I have hosted this group for a couple of years now.  We took a break for a few months and are settling back in and working hard.  We are currently meeting on Saturday mornings at 8 Pacific, 9 Mountain, 10 Central and 11 Eastern, although that time will likely change based on the needs and preferences of the group.

There is no cost to join, no obligation, nothing to purchase and no specific plan to follow.  Everyone achieves their goals in their own way and in their own time.   Some participants have been more focused on going to the gym, others use the group to compliment what they learn in Weight Watchers and yet others use aps like My Fitness Pal.  It is completely up to you. It doesn’t matter if you want to lose 5 pounds, 50 pounds, are training to run a marathon or want to start an exercise program for the first time.

Group guidelines:
* each member will take a few minutes each meeting to update on his/her progress, sharing only what you are comfortable with, no pressure to give your weight
*if help is wanted please feel free to request it, but do not tell others what they should do
*no shaming of any variety, based on weight, fitness level, blindness skills or anything else.  The whole point is to motivate and support each other.
*at the end of each meeting we will choose a topic to discuss.  These range from a struggle a particular member may be having, to tips when dining out, to gaining family support, to talking with health care professionals, to exercise ideas when it’s difficult to get out, to accessible health/fitness aps  or anything else health and fitness related that there is interest in discussing
*the meetings are very casual, but please keep on topic
*we keep the health/fitness portion to 1 hour and after that individuals may stay on to chat about whatever you like

I use Zoom for these meetings.  You can join by phone or computer.    If interested please email me at: julielj at neb.rr.com. I would be happy to answer questions and get you the join in info.

Thanks,
Julie
