Kristn Trimble: Consistency is Key!
Lacy talks with Kristn Trimble, a unit supervisor at the TDCJ Parole Division who participated in the daily morning check-ins over Zoom during all 10 weeks of the 2022 Get Fit Challenge. Struck by Kristn’s motivation to “show up” and challenge herself physically, Lacy wondered what brought her to this point, how she stays motivated and how she used the Get Fit daily workouts and the Wondr Health program to make lifestyle changes around eating and movement. Her “fits and starts” and initial frustrations are relatable. And Kristn’s enthusiasm for how she feels in her body is infectious.
