Today we’re doing things a little different here on the blog. I wanted to bring you a new feature called
Spotlight Stars.
In these spotlight stars talks, I will feature and talk about other empty nesters who have successfully changed their lives after they became an empty nester.
Some have changed careers
Some are on the road to a healthy body
Others are getting healthy in their way of thinking
While others are just becoming happy with where they are right now
Today’s Spotlight Star
My first spotlight goes out to Lynn Terry of TravelingLowCarb.com, a blog about her journey to lose weight while living a busy life.
How We Met
I’ve known Lynn for several years now online. She is my mentor and a friend. I first met Lynn through the blogging world where she has been a great inspiration to many, myself included.
Lynn Terry is a single mom of two, a boy and a girl who are both on their own now. I’ve often heard Lynn say how she misses her kids even though she’s proud of the adults they’ve become. This is how many of us feel, no matter how long they’ve been gone.
The Journey Begins
In the past several years Lynn stared on a journey to lose weight.
She’s admitted to eating food for comfort (like many of us do) and would often spend her nights “overeating to the point of feeling lethargic and useless”(source: Woman’s World Magazine, 8/28/17).
Her chosen method for losing the pounds has been through low carb eating or the Atkins-style plan. The twist, however is Lynn does not cook. She eats a lot of fast food, especially when she’s traveling for her career.
It’s been fun watching her get hking the mountainous area around where she lives. She’s been known to traverse across the tops of waterfalls and climb the sides of a precarious rocky slopes.
Even if you don’t want to be that daring, hiking the trails is a great option. Hiking is an excellent way to build muscle and tone up.
She’s a Star
Lynn has been very successful in losing weight and getting back to being her healthy self. She’s even been featured in a magazine, Woman’s World, showing off her toned body!
As Lynn says, she’s healthier, stronger and happier than she’s ever been since starting the low-carb lifestyle.
I’m not endorsing any specific diet or lifestyle here. I’ve tried the low carb lifestyle and it didn’t work for me (yet). I just wanted to share what others are doing in this great new chapter of our lives and how they are thriving.
Hugs,
Carol
