I’m Janet Williams and I’ve been going nails for the last 15 years in my salon — Unique Tips & Toes — in Houston, Texas. I’ve been with CND as an Educational Ambassador since February 2006.
I, like everyone else, have been going up and down on the scale most of my adult life. When I was younger I would eat anything and it wasn’t a problem. Since I now have a sedentary job it sure has become more difficult to maintain healthy eating habits or, for that matter, a healthy exercise program. As salon owners we get into the business of owning our own salons so we can RUN OUR OWN LIVES. But as it turns out my clients run my life. (Ha, ha, ha. I’m sure everybody can relate.)
Back in Feburary I was in bad shape. I took my husband to the Caribbean for his birthday with friends and everyone had bodies that they were showing off in bikinis, but not me. I had a one-piece on and still a cover-up on top of that. I wasn’t too happy about seeing myself in the pictures. So I came home and started to go back to the gym. Shortly after that I fell off the wagon again. I have not gained any of the weight back, but now I’m having a really hard time getting back with it. I would like to get healthy and of course sexy for myself before my next birthday in May 2009. (It’s the big 4-0!)
I was motivated to hear Jan Arnold and others wanting to get together to share and help with something that I have been struggling with for some time. It’s nice to have friends to talk with. Well good luck to everyone — including myself!
