Wellington Community Fitness 5K Run/Walk
Saturday, November 7th, 2009
Wellington Plaza—Ultima Fitness/Xtreme TaeKwonDo
COMMUNITY FITNESS RUN/WALK RETURNS TO WELLINGTON
After a year of hiatus, the Palms West Community Foundation, along with volunteer Co-Chairwomen Joanna Boynton and Terri Priore, are bringing back the Wellington Community Fitness 5K Run & Walk. The event is scheduled for the traditional first weekend in November– Saturday, November 7, 2009. Participants will gather at the Wellington Plaza with race kick-off time of 8:00 am. Runners and walkers will head west along Wellington Trace, turn south onto Big Blue Trace until they reach the half-way point and then they will loop back to the Wellington Plaza. The fitness run features a USTAF certified 5k Run and a non-competitive walk – something for everyone, no matter what your fitness level.
A much anticipated, yearly event in Wellington since 1997, run/walk organizers focused on bringing residents together to promote health and fitness, all while enjoying a good time with friends and neighbors. Every year, the event has donated a portion of the proceeds to a charitable organization. This year the committee has decided to donate net proceeds to The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
Boynton, an avid runner, has spearheaded the return of this event to Wellington. “So many people in this community have truly missed this event. We decided that this would be the perfect initial project for the Palms West Community Foundation to take on.” Terri Priore was on the initial planning committee, and has agreed to step up and Co-Chair the event with Boynton. Priore brings her vast experience from being the Chair of the MSABC Walk of the Western Communities for The American Cancer Society last year.
During the first eleven years, the community fitness run had grown to accommodate over 800 participants. Hopes are for even more in 2009. “I have personally watched this event’s success, grass-roots outreach and positive impact within our community,” said Boynton. “I, along with many others, am committed to revitalizing this great fitness-oriented, annual community event in 2009.” Many area businesses have already committed to sponsoring this event— Bainbridge, Boynton Financial Group, Inc., Cocuy, Burns & Co., Gold Coast Physical Therapy, Graphic-Signs, Sexton Engineering, TownCrier/Wellington, The Magazine, Ultima Fitness/Xtreme TaeKwonDo, Visions and Wellington Regional Medical Center. To register for the Run/Walk or for sponsorship information, please visit their website www.communityfitnessrun.com. or contact Maureen Gross at the Palms West Community Foundation at (561)790-6200.
Please circulate this email to every person in recovery and everyone that knows someone in recovery.
Faith Farm Ministries is sponsoring the 2009 Rally for Recovery that will be held in Bicentennial Park on September 12th. We will walk across the Rickenbacker Causeway to Watson Island and Back to The Park where there will be a festival and concert for a great family event. Faith Farm Alumni, Staff and Families will want to share in this excitement and fellowship. People from all over south Florida and beyond will be attending … expecting about 5,000! The event is put on by InTheRooms.com, a local foundation whose mission is to create public awareness of recovery … to let people know that the Face of Recovery is a very positive thing. No longer is the word associated with down and out … but it’s face represents up and coming, achievement, success and joy!
The first Rally was held last year in New York on the Brooklyn Bridge. They will be doing it again but now South Florida joins them. This is not just an organized event … it is a “movement”, and Faith Farm is delighted to be a sponsor of this movement in Florida.
If you want to be a part of this great day for those in recovery and for Faith Farm Ministries, contact me at [email protected] for more information. If you need a ride, we’ll find one for you.
Blessings,

Sici Weinstock: Inspiring Other Wellington Moms when it comes to Keeping Fit
By Krista Martinelli
When I met Sici Weinstock, she was signing autographs at a local gym (Stayin’ Alive) in Lake Worth and talking to people about how to get fit. At over forty, she is perfectly fit, perfectly tan and extremely confident when it comes to figure competing and personal training. And it’s with good reason, as she has won several awards in just under two years of competition.
One thing that people find as a surprise is that Sici, who is 5’8”, weighs 150 pounds. However, she is a size zero when it comes to her clothing.
“It’s not about pounds. It’s all about inches,” explains Sici. In other words, she has a lot of muscle and no fat.
A mother of Juliana (who is 8) and Justin (who is 3), Sici made the decision to get serious about physical fitness at 41 years old. She delivered Justin at 174 pounds and struggled with a hernia after the birth. “I wanted to walk and get fit again, but I couldn’t at first,” she says. The road to recovery was slow, but she was determined. Coming from a background with an emphasis on being athletic, Sici already enjoyed working out and competing. Her father played minor league baseball for the Cardinals. One day she met someone while working out at the gym who was a figure competitor. She asked a few questions about how to get started and never looked back.
She experienced a series of other careers before becoming a figure competitor and personal trainer, including modeling, brokerage and recording music. If you look at Sici Weinstock’s website, you can see a photo of her on stage, singing with Sting (in one of her past careers)!
Her advice for those who are desperately trying to get fit?
“1. You have to desire it. If you desire it, you can do it. Then you can set a goal. Keep a realistic time frame for your goals.
2. Eat cleanly. Eat fruits, veggies and protein.” Sici, when prepping for a competition is very disciplined about her intake of carbs and takes in only a handful of grits each day (to cover the carb portion of her diet).
“And 3. Commit to it. Don’t stop. It takes hard work. Surround yourself with others who will help to motivate you.”
As for Sici, she has already entered into many competitions, always coming home with trophies. Most notably, she won a first place and a fourth place award so far for figure competitions.
What’s the routine of an award-winning figure competitor?
“I work out seven days a week. I do at least 40 minutes of cardio in the morning. I do an hour of training on one body part each day. And then I do another 40 minutes of cardio later in the day,” she explains.
Weinstock also utilizes the help of her coach and expert nutritionist Tim Gardner, creator of Body Tech. She says she is grateful for his help, as it would be very difficult to keep up with the right routine with all of the things she has to do each day. In the afternoons, she is a full-time Mom too.
Her kids always eat healthy and she jokes that her husband Donald is not there yet, but on the way to eating healthier. Donald is a CPA and also acts as Sici’s publicist and website designer.
In the future, Sici would like to take on the challenge of battling childhood obesity. It’s a problem that she would like to address, as she enjoys finding creative ways to get her own kids to eat healthier meals each day.
She’s been a Wellington resident for over five years and a Florida resident for over twenty years. She lives in the Isles and does personal training for clients in her home fitness center. “You have to love this to get involved with it. The competing side is great, but my real love is being a coach.”

Funds raised from the event will support HealthCorps, a health education and mentoring program developed for schools by cardiac surgeon Mehmet Oz, who is best known for his appearances on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Modeled after the Peace Corps, the HealthCorps school-based program shows teens practical life skills through fun, interactive school seminars focused on the value and power of students’ bodies and minds. HealthCorps “Coordinators”, recent college graduates who have deferred medical school or graduate health program studies to participate in public service, empower teens to become educated consumers and health activists and encourage students to develop positive behavioral shifts that enhance self esteem and mental resilience.
The community-based outreach and events include professional development seminars, competitions (“Healthy Steps,”) consumer marketing campaigns and public events, (“Healthy Bodega” and “Highway to Health Fair and Festival,”) Parents Nights, and integration of existing community efforts.
For the 2008-2009 school year, HealthCorps established its program in 45 schools in seven states. Three of those states – California, Texas, and Ohio – are benefiting from the HealthCorps program for the first time. In Florida, the program has grown to eight schools, including Miami, Tampa and West Palm Beach.

Money is tighter, not only for your business budget, but also on the personal side. You, as well as your customers, are being a bit more frugal than in the past. As a business owner, you tighten your purse strings and hope you can ride out the “slow season.” A mistake many small businesses make is that they withdraw from advertising their businesses and are waiting for the seasonal onslaught. One important thing to keep in mind: If you don’t promote yourself now, you may not be here later. The smart thing is to allocate a budget that includes dollars for the off-times. It is that time of the year that you can gain or retain the year-round residents. I know personally if I could keep more year-round clients my off- season slump wouldn’t be as severe. This doesn’t mean spending tens of thousand in this slower time.
There are always special ways the outlets available will work with you on a marketing program. Additionally, (and I am a big advocate of this), there are plenty of networking groups out there that you might just fit into. Of course, there are the BNI’s, the NPI’s the Chamber of Commerce’s, but there are also groups that meet where you aren’t obligated to a committed membership with regular attendance required or yearly and weekly dues. Off the top of my head, I know that the Business Solutions Group meets monthly at Tree’s Wings in Royal Palm Beach. There is also the Women’s Empowerment Group. See the “Calendar” page of this website for dates and times. Also one that I have found to be one of the best is the Western Executives Networking. Coordinated by Troy and Ingrid Webster (561-793-5509), they hold bi-weekly gathering at different locations around the Wellington area. The beauty of those just mentioned and others are that you can show up as your pocket and time schedule permit.
As I tell my prospective clients, whether for My B Network or for radio advertising and promotions, you need to remember something if you are a small business looking for customers within a small radius geographically. I always suggest that you find ways to become more visible. Besides thinking of where to spend dollars such as print, Internet, radio, etc., you are the best ambassador your business has. Get visible! Get involved in community activities. Be heard on the airwaves that concentrate on your desired area.
Remember, I can always be contacted and I am willing to talk and help with not only the outlets I provide for your business, but will also give you some input on other opportunities available for you. And if you’re reading this online, don’t forget Around Wellington magazine online as one of those affordable outlets!
Remember . . . get out in the community to help your business stay healthy. It is also the best way for me to see you “Around Wellington.”
