Wholistic Attitude

I began my weight loss journey roughly 25 years ago. At my heaviest, I hovered around 230 pounds. Something as simple as tying my shoes left me out of breath. I knew I did not want to spend my life struggling through daily tasks, yo-yo dieting, or chasing the latest weight loss fad. I watched family members deal with a variety of health issues associated with their weight and obesity. I would lose a few pounds, feel great, and gain those pounds right back. I wasn’t losing weight in a meaningful or sustainable way. I felt defeated, lonely, and hopeless. I was never bullied, but I didn’t need to be. I was my own worst critic. Back then clothing for women my size was made for people who were tall not wide. The style looked and felt old when I was young. Several years passed and I maintained a weight in the low 200’s. (Picture #1 far left). 15 years ago a co-worker renewed my motivation. We went to the gym 3-4 times per week. I was making healthier food choices. Slowly the weight began to come off. Small changes were beginning to yield big results. I lost 30-40 pounds and for the first time in a very long time I weighed under 200 pounds. I was incredibly proud of myself. (Picture #2, the middle picture. As I mentioned yesterday 6 months ago I re-dedicated my efforts to my health. I began walking home from work, walking the dog more. Moving more and eating less. I paid attention to the ingredients in the food I ate. I still ate what I wanted, I just looked for the best version of it. Today’s photo is a representation of my efforts. (Picture # 3, all the way to the right). I am now a healthy weight, 118 pounds. The most important part isn’t my physical appearance, it’s how I feel. I am more energetic, my blood pressure is great, I’m rarely out of breath, and my joints don’t hurt. For the first time in my adult life I have reached a weight that feels healthy, sustainable and truely mine.

I am pleased to announce my return after a brief hiatus. Following the completion of my coaching certification, I made a deliberate decision to embark on a profound personal transformation journey. This path has been marked by both challenges and triumphs, yielding invaluable lessons along the way. Over the past six months, I have prioritized stepping back from my daily responsibilities to focus intensely on my personal growth. This strategic decision has made a significant impact. As coaching inherently centers on transformation, each individual's journey is distinct. My focus has been on fortifying my mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. I am proud to acknowledge my progress and accomplishments thus far. In the forthcoming days and posts, I will be sharing my transformation journey with you. I eagerly anticipate tomorrow's post, where I will unveil my physical transformation. While the most notable physical changes have transpired over the past six months, this journey has, in fact, spanned several years. I will continue to nurture my growth and implement positive changes across all aspects of my life. Having reached a pivotal point, I am now poised not only to share my progress but also to support clients through their unique personal transformations. If you or someone you know is interested in initiating their transformation journey, please do not hesitate to contact me directly or schedule a complimentary initial consultation session. I look forward to connecting with you tomorrow and express my sincere gratitude.

The winter blues are real. Grandma is Nala’s emotional support person. Winter can be tough for some people. Finding the small joys in the day can make a huge difference. Spend time with people who lift you up.

Does this sound like you? What if there was a better way to manage stress and enjoy dessert? Would you want to know how?

Feeling overwhelmed? Too much to do, no time to do it? Falling farther and farther behind every day instead of making progress. Spending your days running around like a chicken with their head cut off only to stay awake all night thinking about what tomorrow will look like.
I can relate. I can also relate to feeling calm, accomplished, proud, and relaxed. How? That’s my secret. Message for details 😊

The fall is almost upon us. For some this could be the start of the winter blues or SAD (seasonal affective disorder). There are many ways to combat the sadness. Take a walk, exercise, get some sun, keep warm, spend time with animals. You don’t have to suffer!! I’m here to help you through these blues.
