Nancy’s First Ten Miler

Nancy Murphy in the 8:20 class decided to sign up for the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler and run for the first time in her life after “peer pressure” from her fellow classmates. She set out with a few others to make train and complete the CB. “I had never run more than 5 or 6 miles in my life, so getting over the mental hurdle was the hardest part, especially hearing that I just need to build up to 12 miles a few weeks before the race and then back off to 8 and so on. It seemed daunting, especially since I had not run in anything but a 5k before.” For Nancy, it was her classmates that “helped tremendously”…”Candace, Alyssa, Ed and sometimes others from 8:20 would meet on Saturdays and do the trail. We took is slow, talked the whole way, and although we added an extra mile or so each time, we never pushed to hard”. She found having friends to train and run with was the easiest part and that the actual race was “fun”…”The course rambles around the monuments so I didn’t pay attention to where we were on miles. I paired up with my college roommate and we talked the whole way- a good way to get in almost two hours of catching up”. Right after the race Nancy felt “the fact that I wasn’t near death was a good thing…we took an easy pace of 11-plus minute miles which was perfect”. And since the highest miles she reached in training was 8, she new she reached her first 10 at the CB. So is Nancy done racing? No, she’s signed up for the Army Ten Miler in October because she “likes having something to concentrate on and force me to do a little extra”. This time around she’s realized she will have to train on hills which she “hates” and she may have to run by herself, but she explains “she may have to get over this hang-up to do a little on my own”. So what is Nancy’s advice for those of you who’ve never run ten miles before? “Go slow. Find a friend or two who is about your pace to train with. Have a bailout plan in the back of your mind (I will do the race, but I reserve the right to jump in a cab if I can’t stand it…). Think of it as learning a valuable skill (I can now run 10 miles if I run out of gas). Recognize that it’s probably harder getting over your mental hang-ups than physical limitations. And make it fun- challenges are great, but the older one gets, if it’s not fun, what’s the point?” Well said Nancy! The key is to have fun, challenge yourself and embrace the moment! Happy training/running to all…
 
A Couple’s Story: PI’s Katy And Matt

Katy started a relationship with Pure Intensity March 2005 and got Matt to join in September 2005. A little over a year ago Katy and Matt started dating. Since joining PI there is a combined weight loss of 85lbs (110lbs total before and during PI). Katy has lost 30lbs and Matt 55lbs since working out with the 5:45am class.

WOW!!!! They have accomplished a lot since being together and with PI. They have completed a couple of races and are training for the Quantico Half Marathon and the Marine Corps Marathon in October. Matt said “we never thought that we would enjoy running a mile, let alone training for a marathon”. He adds that “working out with Katy is great- she motivates me to go the extra mile and always try my hardest… plus, she keeps me honest”. Katy feels “it’s much easier to do it together than it is alone. Matt makes me run faster, which is a bonus for me because I’m such a slow polk naturally. We share the responsibility of planning running routes and workouts, so even if one of us is feeling sluggish the other one has already done the work to get us out the door”…” In exercising, in eating and really everything else, we pick each other up when the other one is down. On runs, we cheer each other on, share water/gator-aide/snacks if one of us runs out. For eating, it helps that healthy food is a priority for both of us. We love to cook together and know we are doing something great for our bodies at the same time. Lately, we are asking each other if the cookie (or any other yummy but fattening item) we are thinking about having is invited to the wedding. It’s good motivation to not eat junk!”

Working out together has been beneficial to both of them. So what’s the best thing about being in shape for them? Matt likes “getting a new wardrobe and the boost in confidence”… “when you start attaining your goals (no matter how big or small) anything and everything seems possible and in your reach”. For Katy “it was really all about looking better in clothes”.

What’s the hardest part about staying in shape? Katy explains “it’s harder now because it takes weeks or even months to notice a more toned muscle or to achieve a shorter time on a run”. Her biggest challenge though is “recognizing that exercising and eating well are lifetime endeavors… there will not be a point when I have ‘arrived’ and no longer need to make them priorities… sometimes it can be overwhelming”. But Matt adds that “taking one day at a time and setting new short and longer-term goals” helps to get through the hard parts.

So what advice to they give to others trying to get in shape or lose weight? Katy believes “there are things in life that we cannot control. Your level of fitness however is 100% in your power. Once you decide that you are worth your own efforts, you are half way there”. Matt feels “you need to decide for yourself that you want to loose the weight and not have someone decide for you. You have to empower yourself to be active, otherwise, it will never happen”.

For those of you who don’t know, Katy and Matt got engaged a few weeks ago. So when I asked what they see in the future in reference to what type of lifestyle they want to live, Matt expressed “we realize, due to our unhealthy past, that we need to build exercise into our lives. For us being healthy does not happen on accident. It is a consciousness decision that we get to make every day”.

Well said both of you! Congrats on not only losing weight, getting in shape and training for a marathon, but also on your engagement and making the joint decision to live a healthy lifestyle.
 
Marathoners' Thoughts
It’s important to remember the moment. So the marathoners responded to some questions so the rest of us could get a better understanding of why and how they did the race. Intriguing for those of us who’ve thought about doing any type of race.
  1. What was the best and worst part of training?
  2. What was the best and worst part of the actual race?
  3.  What would you do differently?
  4. How did you fit it in w/ kids, work, etc?
  5. What’s a new “thing” you learned about yourself during this process?
  6. What’s the one thing you look forward to in the future regarding new challenges?

Amy
  1. The best part of the training was definitely the group, and I can say that after logging in a lot of solo training miles for my previous race! The worst part was the heat of the summer
  2. As far as the race itself, I thought the pre race camp out on Staten Island was actually a lot of fun and in a way relaxing...it gave us a chance to chat with a few of the other people running and get a feel for the crowd. The start of the race was fantastic - on the Verrazano Bridge running to the tune of Springsteen's Born to Run - I thought it was heaven on earth! The worst part of the race was the 25th mile.
  3. If I were to do it differently, I would probably train harder (like not stopping on the long runs) and incorporate some speed work.
  4. Finding the time to fit in the runs is always a challenge, but we were all willing to be a bit flexible and start very early on the weekends. Business travel threw a wrench into some of my weekend runs, but for the most part I was able to work it in somehow. Again, flexibility is key and understanding you may not get all of your runs in is important.
  5. A great part of doing a marathon more than once is that you learn even more about yourself and your running and how the two relate and why. I think I have a better idea of why I like to do this now and the meaning the running and the racing have for me personally.
  6. For the future, what I look forward to IS new challenges...to not only take advantage of them when they are presented to me, but to create new challenges and enjoy the endeavor to succeed! Lastly, my overall comment is that Pure Intensity has had everything to do with the comments above and the fact that I was even a player! I thank you, Sara, and all the folks that meet every morning in the dark and offer great support and enthusiasm for the various ventures each of us embarks upon. You have created a unique energy and I am so proud to be part of our group!

Trish

The best thing about the race for me was being one of 20,000+ runners/walkers, with a crowd of well wishers and cheerleaders of 120,000!! The atmosphere was electric! You could feel the positive energy flowing through every single person involved - participants, well-wishers and volunteers. Of course, the absolutely perfect weather might have had something to do with the contagious happiness! Also, my "teammates" Katherine and Margaret suffer from perennially sunny disposition disorder, so they were a constant source of inspiration and confidence during training and the race.

The worst thing about the race was the length. 26.2 miles is a llllooooonnnngggg way!!!!! It was my first marathon and I didn't train very hard, so it was mentally tough staying focused (and not focused on my feet and knees) for 6.5 hours.

Would I do it again? Yes, but faster (hopefully run the whole thing!)

What would I say to naysayers? You can do whatever you set your mind to. Yes, 26.2 miles is a long way, but if you want to run/walk it, make the time to train and do it!!
Donna

I am so happy that I did the marathon again this year. The weather was so perfect and all the stars came in alignment that day, making it one of the most exhilarating and emotional days of my life.

The easiest part was signing up for it the second time. The hardest part was convincing myself through the very humid summer training, and towards the end when I feared I had not prepared enough (does one ever not feel that way?) and was suffering from leg cramps , that I could actually do it again. After all, this time I really knew how long 26.2 miles was; last year, I only knew how long 20 miles was.

Signing up for the third time will once again be the easiest part. I will always hope to get a little faster. I figured out if I could take 10 minutes off my marathon time each year until I am 60, I could qualify for Boston! Boston at 60, that would be sweet!
Margaret

The best thing about the race is the uplifting spirit you feel seeing all the different people walking/running supporting many different causes or people (soldiers who have died; people who have died of cancer, etc) and the spirit with your teammates. This spirit makes all the pain, the hours of training and the long, long race all worth it. It was actually more fun than I had ever expected.

The worse thing about the race is finding the time to do the training and the anxiety before the race, i.e. getting to the race on time, getting everything ready (your food, clothes, etc.). Would I do it again -- yes!! (Am I crazy???) I planned pretty well in terms of training, the way I dressed, our strategy for the race, and the food - power gel and power bars and water intake. I truly was amazed that I did as well as I did. I think that those who regularly attend your class and give 80% + to the class can do this race. All the runs, interval training, hills, sprints, lunges, and other upper body and strength workouts that we do in class clearly prepare one to do this marathon -- combining walking and running.

The spirit of the bystanders is amazing and really spurs you on. You look around you and see the various ages and physical conditions of the other participants and you say to yourself --"I can do this too!!"

The only thing I will say is that if the weather was cold and very rainy -- it would be a totally different experience and I think only the really "hard core marathoners" would be doing the race. So weather is a large factor.
Polly
  1. The best part of training without a doubt was training with Amy. Rebekah, Jane, Tom & Kate, who all have such positive attitudes and who made the every run fun. The worst parts without a doubt were the runs when it was hot. All in all, though it was just something we all did and so it was not a big deal. We just knew how many miles we had to run each week and did it.
  2. There was not one actual best or worst part of the race; there were good and bad parts throughout the race. The start of the race was exciting and horrifying (knowing I had 26.2 miles to go) ,the crowds along the race course were energizing at times and irritating other times, the end of the race was great knowing I didn't have to run any more but also terrible because I had to walk 1 1/2 hours before I got back to my hotel.
  3. I would run one more long (at least 20 miles) run
  4. Easy for me, no kids at home, husband travels a lot...

 
One Man’s Fitness Story!

Edward has a great story to share with the rest of PI. Ed joined the 8:20 class back in the spring and has brought to class not only a great attitude but a hard work ethic. He has been an inspiration to all of us in class. Congrats Ed on doing so well and reaching your goals- keep it up. Here is Ed’s story (nothing was deleted because all was relevant). Please take the time to read it all. It’s always a god idea to read what works for someone else, you never know if it will help you in one way or another.

Push ups
What motivated you to sign up for the class?
I hadn’t been able to maintain an exercise routine on my own that I felt was as regular, rigorous, challenging, and complete as I felt I wanted it to be. I knew that Pure Intensity had a session that was convenient for me since I had seen you running up the hill in front of my house for years and had come to expect to see you all working out in Norwood when I walked my dog in the morning. I was familiar with many of the faces there from a program I had been in years ago so I was comfortable that this was a nice and friendly group of people. But since I never saw any men there, I thought you were a women only program. When I found out that you would tolerate a male interloper, I was sold.

What changes have you made to make this more of a priority in your life?
My family understands that I am going to be busy every weekday morning from the time I leave the house at 8:10 till I return at about 9:30. They are supportive of that, since they think having a healthier husband/father is a good thing. I have also made myself unavailable to my clients during this period. Normally my mindset is to make myself available to clients whenever they need me, but I now block the time and tell my clients I am unavailable for calls or meetings which conflict with my being able to get to class when I am in town. That adjustment was easier than I anticipated since my clients don’t really need to know that I am indulging myself rather than working on some other crisis for some other client. However, it still required a new mindset – giving as much priority to myself as I had always given to clients. Obviously, I also have changed my diet and am looking for ways to work exercise into my workday when I am on the road, all of which is, I think, a vital part of the total package.

Besides coming to class and now running up to 6miles, what changes have you made on the home front... food, travel, etc.?
Shortly after starting class, I had my annual physical (which I try to do at least once every three years) and was told that my cholesterol was too high, my triglycerides were off the chart, my blood sugar was too high, and I needed to lose 40 pounds. Though I had already decided to join the class, let’s just say that my doctor increased my incentive. One of the first things I did was buy a basic book on nutrition. I never ate “poorly” – I hadn’t eaten a lot of junk food or red meat – but neither had I ever really made an effort to eat “well.” One thing was clear, however. I consumed way too much bread and pasta. I had no idea what to substitute or how to better manage my diet, especially since I didn’t have a lot of obviously bad food to eliminate. So I faced the first challenge: did I need “Nutrition for Dummies” or “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Nutrition”? I decided that I was more of a complete idiot than a garden variety dummy, but I’m sure either would be of help to anyone in your program who wanted to get a better handle on basic nutrition.

With that as background, here are the major steps I have taken in my diet:
  • I have nearly completely eliminated hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils from my diet. That is a change I recommend to everyone no matter what. Nothing at Whole Foods has trans fat in it, and Nabisco is making more and more of its products free of trans fats.
  • I eat fewer breads and pasta than before, and much more of what I eat is whole grain. I really like the flavor of whole grain breads (including wheat bagels and wheat matzo), and I like the taste of whole-wheat pasta (although I am alone in my household on that score).
  • I make a point of eating more legumes, particularly peanuts and soy beans, and try to reach for fruit, dried fruit or carrots before I turn to chips.
  • I eat regularly through the day. I used to have many days with one or two meals because I would be focused on completing work-tasks. That leads to binging. Now I have a more rounded breakfast (a banana, yogurt or cottage cheese, and a bagel or some whole grain cereal like Cheerios or wheat or bran flakes), and eat healthy snacks throughout the day and between meals. I’m big on raisins, cottage cheese with wheat germ, edamame, carrots, fruits, peanuts, and whole grain crackers.
  • Cutting out desserts (cakes, cookies and ice cream) turned out to be easier than I anticipated, particularly since I really like things like raisins, cottage cheese and yogurt (weird, huh?).
  • I DON’T spend a lot of time counting calories. Instead, I focus on getting quality calories. I think that if I am getting plenty of exercise and making sure that what I am eating is quality, the net result is more calories burned than consumed. That is the goal – making sure calories in are less than calories out.
  • I did NOT go for any of the popular diets (South Beach, Atkins, etc.). Instead, I tried to learn more about nutrition and structure something that would work for me. Based on what I have read, I believe that the popular diets don’t keep the weight off permanently. Permanent, manageable change in eating habits keeps the weight off permanently.
  • I am not militant or fanatical about my diet. I eat some dark chocolate every day (rationalized by its content of antioxidants), nibble on some snack foods that are not the greatest from time-to-time, and even still have an occasional dessert on special occasions. One of the things preached by the author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Nutrition” is that allowing some controlled or managed indulgences makes for a more successful change in diet in the long-term. That approach works for me.
The hardest part is travel. I have to travel constantly for work, and it is often hard to find good food choices on the road. I make a point of ordering a salad or sea food as an entrée whenever possible, always step on a plane with an entrée sized salad in my hand (almost every airport in the US has someplace where you can find a decent salad before you get on the plane), and travel with Whole Foods fruit and cereal bars along with raisins or nuts in my luggage. If I am going to be in one place for more than two or three nights, I will make a point of stopping somewhere to get fresh fruit for my room. If I am on a one or two night trip, I will order a fruit plate from room service and keep it around so I always have fresh fruit in my room. Also, whether at home or on the road, I haven’t ordered anything deep-fried since January. It helps that I have kids so I can always steal a french fry when we go out to lunch, but getting the veggie burger or chicken sandwich with fruit or cottage cheese instead of the burger and fries on the room service menu starts to make a difference. I have started using the PI hotel room workout sent to me, and was surprised at how rigorous a workout it is. I also sometimes run with clients when I am on the road. That is a win-win-win – good for me, good for my client, and good for business (you get lots of quality time and conversation when you are running with a client).

How much weight have you lost... how do you feel?
As of my interim check-up in April, I had lost 16 pounds over three months. I’m quite certain I have lost about another 5-10 pounds since then (I think it is closer to 10, but we still have a cheap, unreliable bathroom scale at home). I feel great about the weight loss, mostly because it is a tangible accomplishment. It always feels good when someone else notices I have lost weight, but mostly it feels good to me that I have set a goal to lose weight and have achieved it. There is very little in my life that is tangible. Being able to say to myself that I have lost weight is a definitive accomplishment, unlike parenting, working on projects that never end, etc. And I love the constant reminder that none of my clothes fit me anymore. My wife wants me to get a whole new wardrobe, and I am getting some new pants here and there. But I enjoy putting on the pants that don’t fit just as a little reminder.

What tips would you give someone else who thinks A- they can't run or B- they can't lose weight?
I always hated running till about 10 years ago, and now I love it. Yes, you have to break into it and learn how to pace yourself, but once you get into it, it is great. It is a good stress reliever and it can be a very good social activity. Running with the people in Pure Intensity is something I really look forward to because it is a social event – quality time with friends. My guess is we all have too little quality time with friends and running is a great activity to add to the schedule. Which leads to some advice for novice and experienced runners alike – run with a friend. I always find that three miles alone is a lot harder than six miles with a friend. In class, running is far preferable to doing endless push-ups and sit-ups. So when I hear what the running route is going to be, I am always happy to be running rather than enduring whatever torture you would be putting us through if we weren’t running. I also think running is a great way to experience a new city. Think of it as taking a long walk on steroids. You are never going to experience a location from a car or bus the way you can experience it walking or running through its streets or along its trails. Some of my best memories of places I have visited are from the runs I took while I was there.

For weight loss, running, or getting exercise of any kind, you simply have to decide that you want to do it. I think it is like getting over addiction: the first step is acknowledging that you have a problem you want to solve. Getting healthier is the same thing in my view: you first have to acknowledge that you want to make a serious commitment to getting healthier. That commitment has to include both the exercise side and the nutrition side. You can diet all you want, but without exercise it is going to be very slow going. And you can exercise all you want, but when you go home and eat a cheeseburger and french fries, your exercise isn’t going to have done you nearly as much good. Doing both increases the benefit. Even if you don’t need to lose weight, the exercise will improve your health, your muscle tone, how you look, and how you feel. And even if you don’t need to lose weight, paying attention to nutrition will help you to stay healthier for longer.

What are your future goals?
I want to run a ten miler again (or I should say, I want to get into the habit of running ten milers again). I never ran at all seriously till I was in my mid-30s, and by the time I turned 40 I was running in two ten-mile races every year. Not to win them, but just to run in them and enjoy the day. I am hoping to be able to start doing that again this fall. Also, I would like to drop the full 40 pounds my doctor has recommended. So far I am more than half way there.

Anything else you would like to add, please do so.
The people make the program. Pure Intensity works because there are people there, from the instructor down through to the participants, who are fun to be with. Plus starting the day outside, getting exercise, fresh air and friendship just can’t be beat. It really changes my disposition and attitude for the entire day. I can’t say enough about how much the program has done for me.
 
18 Weeks: A Lesson For Life

Amy ran a few and then a few more miles – 18 weeks of training. I’ve asked her some questions so clients could benefit from her experience. Sometimes hearing your trainer tell you to “make the time” doesn’t have the same affect coming from someone who has no kids. So I figure you would enjoy hearing from her…

Please take the time to read... I had a hard time editing it down because I felt so many of her comments were valid and to important not to share.

For those of you who haven’t met Amy let me give you a little bio. She is a mother of triplet teenage boys, a daughter in Kindergarten and she works full time. In April she completed her first marathon in Paris.
Leaning Back


Amy decided to do it as a “personal challenge… Paris was the logical choice” to stay motivated over the winter months. “For me, this was one way to gain some focus and concentration, which helped tremendously in gaining order and understanding in the other areas of my life”. She explained that “most of us lead busy lives and are dealing with the daily issues that we may or may not have any control over… it is easy to get caught up and overwhelmed by what is happening in and around our lives and lose sight of who we are and what we want and why”. With the help of her friend from Colorado, her fellow PI classmates and an 18-week training schedule she had it all laid out. She was able to do her runs for the marathon and attend class 3-4 days a week. “In order to not disrupt the weekend family time to much, I usually did the runs very early and kept a journal and recorded every single day of the entire training period, whether I ran or not… it was a reminder of what I was doing, where I was going and how much I had left to go…all a part of the discipline that really helped me stay on track”. Amy felt the best part of the experience was the training…knowing she had gotten through it. The worst parts were the last 3-4miles when she knew “I wanted my body to do something (sprint) and I was not able to will it to happen” and “when it was finished- because training was over”. The best part was the training and realizing during the race (kilometer 10K and 35K) that she was “the luckiest person in the world to have a great family and fabulous friends to see me through this personal adventure”.

I also asked Amy her advice on getting motivated and she said you should “look at the time and opportunity to work out as a gift… that you can workout is really special”. She also suggested trying to stick with it for at least 30 days, be flexible and have a positive attitude (a helpful husband/partner is also an added benefit).

Developing a “habit” that will help you “feel better mentally and emotionally as well as physically”. She thinks “it’s especially exciting for women, who have so many demands on their time and energy from so many other people, to be able to do something for themselves, have 100% control over their destiny in the particular endeavor, and in the end, have made noticeable positive changes to their life that have produced tangible results!”

She ended with “…running a marathon is not really that big of a deal and any of us in this class can do it. I do not feel special because of it. I do feel special because I come to class most of the time and enjoy every minute...even the push-ups! I also feel special because I am part of this group and together and individually we should feel great about ourselves for showing up! I think the most important part of life is to be a participant, not an observer. Through this class and maybe in a more focused way, the marathon, I feel I have gained a better understanding and a clearer perspective on life and living. I treasure my family and friends and though what we are doing is for ourselves and that is great, the reward is that what we do every day benefits all those close to us. Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote a book, A Gift From the Sea, and in it she talks about making time for yourself and time for reflection. She explains very eloquently that this is the key to not just surviving, but enjoying a busy life filled with lots of people and errands etc. I look at my morning ritual with my Pure Intensity group as that time in my life that has become very important; where I get the tools I need to manage the balancing act that the upcoming day will surely bring. And I thank you all for that!”
 
Fit In The Mid-Fifties

Six years ago this March, Rick and Susan were itching for a new fitness regime when a PI flyer was left at their door. They “decided it was time to take affirmative action to turn back the ravages of time.” It’s been an adventure ever since. Last March they won a bike trip from an auction and Susan knew right then she was “going to have to take some pounds off in order to get into my spandex bike shorts and be able to keep up with the group…it took me two months to figure out the right weight loss strategy, but I knew it had to be done.” Rick was game because he felt with each “passing year I was putting on a little weight…gradually adding up…ailments because of inattention to diet and exercise.”

What’s the most rewarding part of the huge weight loss? Rick loved “throwing out my 37” pants… plus a trophy wife without the cost of divorce and it is very satisfying to be approaching my next decadal birthday in better shape than the previous one.” Susan enjoys “shopping for new clothes”.

So what did they do this time to lose a combined weight of over 50lbs (Rick over 20, Susan 31)? Susan joined Weight Watchers online (www.weightwatchers.com) and they’ve been eating low-fat, low calorie, but high fiber foods ever since. They’ve added plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, brown rice, tofu, very little meat and chicken. They eat three healthy meals a day with a few healthy snacks like popcorn, fruit and high fiber bars. Rick added “no more Mexican restaurants on Sunday afternoons.” He also claimed “the trick for me wasn’t to deny myself food, but to start eating foods that aren’t so damaging…we read labels and fill the cupboards with healthy food.”

Many of us have tried to lose weight off and on our entire lives. So when the Johnson’s were asked what they would have done differently years ago Rick said “I would have started 40 years earlier” and Susan said she “would have joined Weight Watchers a lot sooner if I had understood how effective if would be.” Susan realizes she is now “able to make big changes… I can do this”. The journey to lose weight can be hard. When asked what the toughest part for the Johnson’s, Rick responded that “it really hasn’t been that hard (PI is hard, this “diet” isn’t). I suppose the hardest part is avoiding the enticingly bad foods at the supermarket and passing up the Mexican restaurant, but really it’s not that hard.” Susan adds that “it really has not been particularly difficult. We focus on the positive which is that we look good and feel great”.

We can all learn something from other people’s experiences with exercise and diet. Their top three tips on how to balance your fitness/food/good healthy journey…

Rick
  1. Find ways to make the right choices fun choices
  2. Take it one day at a time
  3. Stop eating when you’re full… or maybe just slightly before.
Susan
  1. Eat plenty of high fiber foods
  2. Write down what you have eaten
  3. Build exercise into your everyday life
What are their goals for the future? Well Susan wants to complete a 2 day- 100mile MS Bike ride in May and long term is to not get Sugar Diabetes. Rick wants to “stay on the horse—never stop making good food and fitness choices”.
