My Boca Balanced Living entry

I had reached a point of balance in part thanks to Boca when I changed my eating habits and began working out. I lost 90 pounds and felt the best I had ever felt with my health, my job, and my marriage. I lost that balance when I tore my ACL in 2006 and had to have surgery with a lengthy recovery process. During that time, we also hit a number of financial stumbling blocks which meant giving up “extras.” Half of the weight is back and I see my health and happiness lowering as that number creeps up. $5000 would bring that balance and peace back for me.

I would use the money to restart my membership to Curves to restore the basic conditioning I have lost. Following that I would bring my family back to Tae Kwon Do. My husband and I had become recommended brown belts and our youngest 2 were recommended blue belts. Not only did this give us a wonderful cardio workout, it taught us self-defense techniques and allowed us to take our frustrations out on the mat rather than nit-picking each other at home. It also allowed a certain amount of inner peace as you learn and memorize the traditional forms.

The third piece would be to change the diet back to healthier, natural choices. For us, Boca is the core of that diet.

It felt so good to be healthy and strong. I desperately need that balance again.
