My first blog post

Good Afternoon. This is my first blog post. My name is Jenny. I am 54 years old. I am happily married and have 2 exceptional children. My life changed rather drastically after suffering a detached retina in my left eye. Despite urgent surgery by very skilled surgeons I was left without depth perception. I have very limited vision in my left eye. I had to retire from my profession as a Dental Hygienist.

I have always enjoyed working out and staying fit. With my vision impairment, I knew I had to work on balance, agility, strength and endurance for my mental and physical well-being. My family has always been the joy in my life. Fitness is my passion.

I almost always have a fitness goal in mind for everyday. I wake up and can picture which fitness activity I will be doing, when I will be doing it and for how long. Today, Tuesday I completed a 10 km power walk on the treadmill, followed by a 60 minute upper body group workout with a personal trainer named Kat.
