You’re absolutely committed to your health and fitness. You participate in the Whole Life Challenge, you work out every day, and you eat a clean diet, but when you head over to your parents house, what do you find? A home filled with processed junk food, sugar treats, and meals with ingredients that are in no way health promoting. Ah yes, family challenges.
This was the situation for our guest this week, Fanny Veliz. She’s participated in a number of Challenges, but had been unsuccessful in getting the people who are most important to her in her life on board — her parents.
That all changed with the January 2015 Challenge. Her dad, who is over sixty years old — and who had given up all hope of getting healthier — has now lost 25 pounds and is off his blood pressure medication. Join us as Fanny talks about how it’s gone for them and for her fifteen-year-old son, who also participated for his first time!
