*** Motivational Post for the Day *** Many people may know Lloyd Gavin (although many people don’t even recognize him now!), but i’m posting today about his lifestyle change that many of you may not know about. Lloyd, Judy (his wife) and I teamed up together in February of 2018 to create a new healthy lifestyle plan for Lloyd. His health goals consisted of: losing 40 pounds, to normalize his blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, and to manage his chronic pain. In just ...under 6 months, he had stabilized a healthy cholesterol level, blood pressure and blood sugar levels, all while dropping 40 pounds. His doctor was ecstatic to see these results and recommended he continue on this new healthy path. Shortly after surpassing some of his goals, trouble had struck. Lloyd developed an infection on the bottom of his foot which forced him to stay off his feet (as much as he could). The infection got worse and the doctor was really considering amputation. As time passed, home care would clean the infection often to keep it at bay and from getting worse. Later in the fall, Lloyd needed an emergency pace maker to be out in as he was weak and having trouble breathing. He started a blood thinner after receiving the pace maker, which in time helped heal his foot because of the blood flow. The pace maker did its job, until he suffered a heart attack in February of 2019. Turns out he had COPD for years but was never treated for it (causing his heart to work overtime). The point of Lloyd’s story, is that although he went through so much trauma, it never once put a damper on his determination to keep building his health. At his appointment with me last week, he weighed in at 219.5 (down 53 pounds from when he started). Therefore surpassing his initial weight loss goal of 40 pounds. Most of us let a simple ‘cheat meal’ or a night out throw us off our healthy lifestyle routine because we think we ‘screwed’ ourselves. Meanwhile, Lloyd has been through hell and back and is still pushing forward. When it comes to our health, we need to stop sweating the small stuff/making excuses and take control! Sending out the biggest WAY TO GO to Lloyd and his side kick Judy

A big shout out to this girl for first; graduating from UPEI two weekends ago & second; hitting the halfway mark in her weight loss journey. Jillian started with Life Cycle Nutrition at the end of January and to date has lost a total of 26 lbs and 4 inches around her waist. Her efforts include following a very basic meal plan, an exercise routine at H2 Fitness (Heidi Hudson), all while still enjoying her weekend treats! She is an excellent healthy lifestyle role model for all the young women in post-secondary education, who are struggling with weight issues & healthy living! Congratulations Jillian
