Will McWhorter captures Fittest Employee of the Month Award

Will McWhorter received Northeast Texas Community College’s Fittest Employee of the Month for December.
“I have always tried to find time to incorporate exercise into my life, but as I have gotten older it has become more and more difficult.” Mr. McWhorter said.  “I have found it challenging to balance family time, work and wellness into a regular routine.  My wife is a full-time nursing student and we have a 2-year-old daughter, so finding the time to work out is not always an easy thing to do.  Back at the beginning of the semester in August I stepped on the scale and was shocked to see the number staring back at me.  I was about 10 pounds over my normal weight and fifteen pounds over where I would like to be.  It was clear to me that the occasional jogging I had been doing over the summer was not the best wellness plan for me.  I had settled into a routine of eating chocolate syrup covered ice cream every night and watching too much television.  I needed to make some changes to both my diet and exercise plans.”
Mr. McWhorter said he had already made some health-based food changes such as substituting ground turkey for beef and eating more salads. 
“The biggest dietary changes I have made this semester are trying to consistently eat less, cut way back on the desserts (I have only had ice cream a couple of times this semester), and eat more fruits and vegetables,” he said.
