Two days ago, I saw a number on the scale that left me overjoyed. It showed 139.6 lbs. It feels so amazing and unbelievable that I am in the 130s at 33 years old. We were just supposed to be getting bigger, right? Now I weigh the same as I did in middle school - and that was only because I had had a big growth spurt and my weight hadn't caught up with my height yet.
After losing 45 lbs (I am now 138.2 as of this morning), I feel so incredible that it's truly difficult to describe in words. This program has absolutely changed my life. For those who don't know me, I'm a licensed health professional and know a lot about health. This program has somehow managed to teach even me so much about food, sleep, hydration and exercise. But mostly, it has taught me more about myself and what I am made of. I feel ready to conquer the world and have been changed forever. How did my whole view of everything change in a matter of months? Was it the education on healthy habits? Was is the support of my health coach, family and friends? Was it the nutrition component? I think it was all three. They all worked together to make me a different person inside and out. And I couldn't be happier with the result.
I took this picture this past weekend to show my body before and after this program (at least to my weight goal and I will be starting transition into maintenance). The before picture was not something I ever intended to share, but I felt that it showed off my weight loss the best. I have always been good about hiding in well-fitting clothing. I don't have to hide anymore. This is my result: 45 lbs lost in less that 4 months.
I have been so excited, motivated and successful with this program that I decided to become a health coach myself. It has been so much fun for me to not only share my success with others, but help and guide them to find their own.
So, I have one question for you. Are you ready to join me in this journey to optimal health?
