Don’t change the goal, change the plan.

Do you ever feel like you have tried everything to get healthy but you just can’t seem to make it work. There you are once again seeing others achieve results. You have no idea why everyone around you is moving forward while you have plateaued with no gains for the last 4 months. Losing weight and being healthy is not an overnight fix, it is about finding what works and doing it on a daily basis.

Now I know how you might be feeling because when I first got started, I was 30 pounds overweight and at 5’3 (barely) that is a lot of weight to carry around. The worst part for me is I carried it in my mid section. I couldn’t button my pants and so I ended up buying 2 sizes up so they would be loose. I am pretty sure that is when depression started to rear its ugly head. Now I need to tell you I was thin most of my life so this was new to me and scared the heck out of me as well.

My plan wasn’t working and no matter how many times I changed my goal, it still didn’t work. I realized that changing the goal was not the solution and I decided to change the plan and I joined a challenge group. I was able to get support from people who had gone through the same situation. I was able to see that with the help of my coach, I learned how to meal plan, prep and eat the right foods at the proper time. You may be thinking that the solution sounds easy enough and that is how I felt as well. What I didn’t have doing this on my own was the encouragement and motivation from other like minded women who wanted to start feeling better about themselves.

Within a year, I was feeling healthy. My mid-section was gone and I was able to build muscle and firm up my body while gaining my confidence back.

I want to be your coach. I want to help you with your journey to achieve your goals and find a fitness program that meets your needs and ability level. Additionally, I want to help you learn to eat better and eliminate starving yourself along with those crash diets. I can motivate you to work out, eliminate excuses and learn how to develop meal plans that work.

My next group is around the corner and I hope you say yes. Please join me and other like-minded women on your journey to feeling better about yourself from the inside out.
