“Hold on just a little while longer darling,” is the theme for one Brooklyn mama who fought through her struggles then landed on the cover of a major fitness magazine.
Michelle Hercules Walker, a 47-year-old Canarsie resident, weighed a whopping 307 pounds and was battling a serious case of depression from holding on to the hurt of being sexually abused as a child and then getting stuck in an un-happy marriage, just one year ago. After looking at herself in her bedroom mirror, contemplating suicide, she decided it was time to make a serious physical and mental change.
Over the past year Walker hired a personal trainer who got her to commit to a constant exercise program and helped her to work her way up to running a 10K in Central Park this past June.
“I grew up feeling like I had nothing, like I had no worth,” Walker tells the Daily News. “I don’t think I ever loved myself, until now.”
For some order generic levitra men, a half tab is adequate to receive the desired results.
Walker has since then, dropped over 100 pounds and was recently called to cover Runner’s World magazine. The popular fitness magazine named Walker one of its 2015 Cover Search winners along with Cupid’s Undie Run founder Bobby Gill who beat more than 1,600 to become the running community’s new cover gems.
“Just think, this time last year, I was not able to get off the couch,” she continues to tell the publication. “So if someone says to me, ‘I can’t do it, it’s impossible,’ I would tell them that you’ve just gotta start and see where you can go.”
Walker hopes to run the New York City marathon one year and the way she’s determined, next year doesn’t seem like a stretch (pun intended).
