I wrote an essay on why I would like to be chosen to be one of the participants in the Women in Trucking and Bob Perry, The Trucker Trainer Health Challenge. I was lucky enough to be one of the ten finalists. I have been working on losing weight for the past year but...
I lost weight steadily until about November and I came to a standstill. I could not get past that plateau no matter what I did. When I read about the Health Challenge I was very intrigued as one one of the benefits is to get to work with Bob Perry. Bob is very familiar with truckers' lifestyles and our sedentary ways. As a finalist we get to work with Bob weekly on exercise and nutrition which has given me great insight. We also get to try out the Driver Body Fuel Kit which consists of a Protein Shake, Vitamins, Power Bars, nutritional charts and a nice bag to carry all of this in. I have found that the Protein Shake in the morning boosts my energy and gives my mornings a kick start. In the afternoon when I get a bit drowsy I have a Honey Cashew power bar and I am ready to go again. Bob has looked over what I have eaten in the past and made suggestions going forward and he has analyzed my workout given me additional suggestions to better tone and get more out of my workouts. Knowing what I know now I would have been much farther ahead if I would have started this program last year when I made the decision to get healthier and to lose weight. I feel as if all ten of us finalists will win in this situation as we have the additional support and direction of someone who understands we cannot go to the gym each week, who have crazy working hours, and never know what city or situation we will be in next.
