Meet Ywana
Why did you join the GirlTrek Movement?

" I decided to get active for a number of reasons. These include a family history of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer that I greatly desire to change. Additionally, I know that children are in my future and want my body to be in optimal condition to get them here safely and healthily! I have a health condition that until now has contributed SIGNIFICANTLY to my health decline. I decided NO MORE."  To her more from Ywana, watch her GirlTrek Health Story.

I will modify my diet by incorporating more fish, fruits and vegetables. I have hired a personal trainer, whom I will workout with a minimum of twice a week outside of my independent 3-5 days weekly in the gym. I will maintain a wellness journal of everything I am doing for my emotional, physical and mental health. Also, reaching a target weight under 150lbs will also be the proof in the pudding!

work in an urban high school where demands are always high and my work schedule is a killer. Sometimes I am at work 12-14 hours per day, including weekends, and I REALLY don't feel like cooking when I leave work. By the time I make it home I want to go to bed or lay on the couch. Keys for me will be meal planning and keeping health stuff in my office (I have a refrigerator by my desk)to eat when I am working round the clock.
