Choosing my mantra....

It all started last year.  That moment when I absolutely knew that I needed to make a major change in my life.  I was desperately pondering another "crash diet", just to get a bunch of weight off quick.  That's when I joined my first accountability group and quickly learned I needed to let go of that quick fix thinking--forever.   I was SEEKING new ways of doing things, learning to live another way.  I hope to never stop learning how to improve myself and my health. 

Learning to live healthy has been quite a process.  I needed to get educated about different foods and their nutritional content.  I had to learn the best way to fuel my body.  I needed desperately to learn about portions.  It's a process that I consistently work on.  I strive for progress...not perfection.  I'd been so unhealthy for years, I couldn't remember what healthy was.  I am completely driven to become HEALTHY inside and out!  Everyday I read books and listen to podcasts about nutrition and wellness.  My healthy is a priority now. 

For years, I've either been ON a diet...or horribly OFF the diet.  I never learned how to eat mindfully and stop when I was full.  I had so many deeply engraved "bad" eating patters. I would regularly overeat and then overexercise out of guilt.  I knew I needed some balance in my life. The quest for BALANCE was born.  I now know what I need is balance in all things.  I need to be able to have a meal in a restaurant and balance it with a light meal the next. Time, daily practice, and a refined mindset have greatly improved this skill. 

I share all my tips and tricks, along with daily accountability to ALL the people I coach.  If you need help in any of these areas...let me know!
