V i c t o r H u a n g Victor Huang's promotion to senior soft- ware development engineer came with a great sense of accomplishment and renewed goals. But, like any promotion, there were some accompanying lifestyle adjustments, too. After a few months in his new position, Victor felt the physical effects of increased responsibilities and intensely long hours. "My body was feeling bad and I wasn't as bright or focused as I needed to be," he says. "That was my trigger point—I realized that I needed to be healthier if I was going to continue to be successful." Fortunately for Victor, he found Wellness 360. Not unlike his professional promo- tion, the program presented chal- lenges during its early days. Determining healthy eat- ing options and how to use the gym were new concepts for Victor. Luckily, he had WAC Health Coach Eric Chen to help. That was my trigger point—I realized that I needed to be healthier if I was going to continue to be successful. 42 WAC Magazine | wac.net Learning how to create healthy meals quickly—and diving deeper into nutrition and the health benefits of food—helped Victor improve his diet while maintain- ing his professionally driven lifestyle. In addition, personal training with Eric gave him the confidence to use the gym and pool on his own. "Starting training was hard," Victor recalls. "Eric helped me build a recurring pattern that progressed in difficulty. Now that I know different exercises and things to do, I look forward to working out." With this new attitude came progress. Not only has Victor seen a 20-pound weight loss, but he's also set new goals in and out of the gym. In addition to working toward building more muscle mass, Victor is excelling in his new posi- tion at work. "I'm so much more alert," he says. "That really helps me focus on day-to- day business dynamics and deliver my best work."
