6. Conclusion
Since the beginning of SCI/163, I have known that this would ignite
the passion I have in me for health, wellness, nutrition and fitness. Bringing
these aspects fully into view again and being able to sit and reevaluate my
current health conditions and fitness levels, has relit my candle of joy. I
have been seeking for years for that ‘something’ I lost, and now I believe I
have found it again. Now I know the freshness of the information in my mind
will help me not only by keeping myself on the path back up to good health and
fitness, but also strengthen my parenting skills for my children to embrace
this way of life as well.
