Gai Hazelwood
Firstly I just want to say a huge big THANK YOU to you (Kelly) for helping me find the "happy Gai".
As you know I started my journey on 25th April, my dad's 81st Bday, he had been gone for a couple of years. He was my number one supporter and had total belief in me. I was so lost when he died and it had been a shitty couple of years after. Then on his birthday I thought, this isn't the life dad would have wanted me to be living. So that very day I took myself off for a walk and decided what my plan was going to be.
I kept walking and then in May I decided to join the gym again so I could use the treadmills to do my walking if it was raining.
So a couple of months with me not coming to the gym I saw your weight loss challenge and decided that is what I was going to do. I was going to go back to "my happy place" where it all started 10 years earlier. I remembered how amazing I felt and the friends I had made; this is what I wanted to have back in my life.
So here I am today feeling totally amazing after 8 weeks on the WLC with yourself and Strength & Conditioning with the Freshstart team. The support and encouragement I have gotten from everyone has been great and makes me want to keep on going to reach my goals.
I have found my love of training again and I can even say I have found the love for myself again.
