Do you know success?

I have asked permission to share a success story from one of our employees.  The stats are obvious.  After a check-up at the doctor in the beginning of the summer break, this employee has this to report.  Blood pressure=down, Cholesterol=down, Weight=down.  As for the "ups".  Fitness level=up, Activity level=up,  Number of training days per week=up, Mileage covered and pace during walks=up.  Overall feeling and energy level UP!  Success happens daily every time each of you go for a walk, wake up early for a morning workout, choose to not have the entire basket of chips and salsa, or maybe chose to hydrate with water on a consistent basis.  If you are missing your chance to know success, start NOW choosing to succeed.  It's a personal journey we all face as we make our small decisions throughout the day.  Choose wisely.

Update on the Spin bikes:  Still on hold as repairs are necessary to keep us safe.  I'll let you know as soon as we are up and Spinning.

Special Thanks to the employees and students who came to Walk with the Mayor.  You can see an interview with Mayor McBrayer and Jeh Jeh Pruitt of Fox 6 detailing the expansion plan for our Shades Creek Greenway on the Fox 6 website.  Shades Creek Greenway is part of a 100 mile expansion plan which will connect most of Jefferson County.  More exciting news- Red Mountain Park a 1100 acre urban park is in the process of being built conveniently located adjacent to the city of Homewood.
