 I started while underground probably the first of October of 2016. I know that if this place wasn't here I don't know what I'd be doing. I went through a lot of doubt. I was sick, sad, and sorry. Sick of myself. I couldn't look at myself in the mirror. Sad because I was regretting on what I ate the next day and then I was always sorry for it. And today when I get up and come to the workout and I see everybody and they go, Karen, you know, go for it, you know. And I'm sweating my rear end off and I'm just like, you know, it feels so good. I go, I can go home and I can look at food and go, you know what, I can make healthy choices. I'm Cindy Campbell. I'm the LiveWell director for Weare Finoe County and the project director for Washington Underground, a recreation center which is a joint project between LiveWell and District 1. The project was started because residents wanted a way to exercise more and they also wanted a place for youth to go. Carolyn brings an incredible amount of enthusiasm and a sense of community. She's always cheering folks on and she's enthusiastic, optimistic, and loves people. When I first looked at the elliptical I was seeing all these ladies doing it and I was thinking, you know, can I do that? And I got on it and I started off at four minutes. And the next time I got on it again, I did five. And I remember when I did seven, I was like, yes, yes, I can do seven. And I started doing 12 minutes. And then I started doing 17 minutes. Then it was 22 minutes. And then one day I got on the elliptical and I was like, you know, I'm gonna do 45 minutes. And I did it. And I think this whole building shook because I was screaming so loud. We used to eat to stuff our feelings when we were sick, sad, and sorry. And I taught my son that. When he sees me and I talk to him on the phone and, you know, tell him, son, I'm gonna go work out. And he asked me, mom, how much have you lost? How much have you lost this week? And I tell him, he goes, good job, mom. And that right there, I'm hoping to plant a seed in his head in his mind. That, you know, my mom can do it. I can do it too. When I walk in to the Walssenburg Underground Gym, I know everybody's probably watched Cheers. This Underground Gym is my Cheers. And I know that when I come in, everybody says, hey, Carolyn, this place is a family. And they care about you. You know, I just want to be here for them because they've been here for me.
