Son is an inspiration to mom
A year ago, 12-year-old Tristen Perrin made a life-changing decision. He told his mother he wanted to be healthier and stronger. Pretty strong words coming from such a young kid, but Tristen was committed. Back then, Annette Perrin described her son as “shy, with a huge love of sports.” He regularly played football and basketball, and loved watching his two favorite teams , the Saints and Pelicans. Annette supported her son’s desire for a healthier lifestyle, and signed him up to work out with a trainer, Gary at GLS Next Level Performance. But working out was only half of the battle. Tristen knew he needed to change his eating habits. Tristen’s sister told him about Healthy Course Meals, and he was hooked. He says the meals are delicious, and really enjoys the variety of foods offered.
In the past 6 months, Tristen has lost 30 pounds. 
How did he do it? Tristen works out 5 days a week with Gary and every day he eats Healthy Course Meals (sometime twice a day!) He gets the 5 for $35 Meal Deal, often doubling-up on the proteins because he needs the added fuel for his workouts. Tristen no longer wears an adult medium shirt. His body has transformed, not only in weight, but in shape. He’s not soft anymore. He has definition in his arms and legs. He is building a chest. His mom calls it a dramatic change.
Lost Weight, Gained Confidence
Tristen’s mom is happy about his weight-losss, but says it’s more about what he has gained. Annette says her son is more outdoing. He’s no longer that shy kid. She said obviously his appearance has changed, but what she really appreciates, is the change his healthier lifestyle has made in his personality. She says he’s much more confident now, and not afraid to talk to people.
Annette is very proud of her son for the changes he’s made. She’s thankful to his trainer Gary and Healthy Course Meals for helping him to make it happen. She says Tristen is, without a doubt, her inspiration to be healthier.
