Carrie Harshman understands what it means to live a healthy
lifestyle.
A lifelong Paducah native and relatively new Energy Fitness
member, Carrie decided last year she needed to change.
“I was on vacation with my family in Gatlinburg, and was
told that I was too big to ride one of the roller coasters. I couldn’t go up a
flight of stairs without breathing heavily. It was scary,” Carrie said of her
motivation to get healthy.
So in August of 2013, she joined Energy Fitness and started
working with Dustin, and he has kept her motivated. “You will be surprised how
fast the pounds drop when someone [like Dustin] keeps you motivated.” She also
says that Dustin is always very helpful with workout tips, routines, and
advice.
Besides being motivated by Dustin, Carrie is also motivated
to stay healthy. To her, it’s not about getting ‘skinny.’ It’s about getting
healthy. “Even skinny people can be unhealthy.”
Something else that keeps Carrie motivated is her side gig
as a health and weightloss coach through Live the Lifestyle. LtL, as it’s
commonly called, is a program to help dieting with personal healthy coaches,
like Carrie, to develop healthy habits and not just lose weight, but keep it
off. [Previous statement taken from LtL’s website.]
Carrie, a stay at home mother of two, enjoys reading in her
spare time and her favorite book is Wicked by Gregory Maguire. She says she
hopes to see the Broadway Musical of the book.
Carrie’s current workout routine includes trying to attend
kickboxing, Insanity, and weight-training 3-4 days a week; and cardio and
elliptical training 5 days. Her routine usually brings her to EF at night,
because her son is enrolled in the martial arts academy.
Besides the workouts, healthy eating has become a big part
of Carrie’s lifestyle and helped her lose 98 pounds since last summer. Her
favorite go-to snack: Carrots and Hummus. She also says she can make some
“killer” turkey tacos.
When asked what would be the best advice to give to someone
considering Energy Fitness?
“Sign up for the year at Energy Fitness and get with a personal trainer. It’s 100% worth it!”
