Member of the Month: Simeon Gray
My name is Simeon Gray and my journey began in the summer of '09. At that time I was weighing in at 317lbs. It was then that I realized I had to change my lifestyle. My eating was out of control, I was partying excessively, and exercise was not a priority. The real turning point for me had to be that I was unable to catch my daughter, who was three at the time, when she would run off in public.
That time in my life was hard to endure because I used to be an exceptional athlete in my early 20's. I'm a sports nut and basketball is my favorite. Back then I had tremendous athletic ability and could dunk effortlessly (boy those were the good old days).
In the summer of '09 I set two goals for myself. One was to lose 100lbs and the other was to get back on the court and play at a high level. Getting started wasn't easy. In fact, it was quite difficult. I joined Razor Sharp that summer but rarely attended until winter. I thought I was ready, but not seeing the results I wanted quickly almost made me give up. I'm glad that happened. It taught me a valuable life lesson that some obstacles are all in your mind.
My New Year's resolution for 2010 was to stick to my plan. Once again it wasn't easy, but through the graces of God, I was able to remain strong minded. I developed a great work ethic and a diet I never thought was possible for me.
I'm proud to say that today I'm weighing in at 216lbs and the fat is still steadily falling off! I've set new goals for myself. I'm playing in leagues around the city, I can run circles around my son who will turn ten in August, and I dare my daughter to test me in public now!
People who haven't seen me in a while always seem to ask me the same thing. "What's your secret?" I always tell them, "There is no secret, just discipline and dedication!"

| Don't Forget to Moisturize! |
| |
Use a moisturizer to help keep your skin hydrated, soft, supple, and young looking. Moisturizers work as a protective sealant against the harsh elements in the environment and the daily wear and tear caused by our lifestyle. They are key to preventing dry, cracked, and wrinkled skin. They can also help prevent acne. When your skin is dry, your body tends to produce excessive oil leading to clogged pores that produce inflammation. It is important to use a moisturizer with an SPF in the daytime and one at night, before you go to sleep. You should select moisturizing products that have as few chemicals and fragrances as possible, are loaded with essential vitamins and antioxidants, and if you have acne- one that is oil free.
The aesteticians at Razor sharp can help you take care of your skin. Treat yourself to a facial or body treatment! Stop by the front desk or call 321-0200 today to make an appointment!
