Many of you remember a little over 4 years ago, when I started posting weekly updates called Weigh-in Sunday. When I started what I thought was going to be another diet, started the journey toward losing (I thought) the same 20 lbs I had lost about 15 times, I started posting my updates on FB, because I knew I needed transparency & accountability if I stood even a remote chance of success. That same desire to be accountable led me to become a health coach with the program I coach, Take Shape for Life. I am so grateful that I have this amazing tool in ALL seasons of my life, because I know it works & I know its no longer just another diet. And I am also so thankful I have all of YOU! I gained amazing encouragement & support during this process & many hundreds of you have joined me on the journey, which thrills me! Now, its time to get transparent & accountable again. Over the past year, I have let some of the 140 lbs I originally lost creep back on. A few lbs here, a few lbs there, too many summer bbqs, indulging when I didnt need to ... it all adds up to the scale not saying what I like & my jeans feeling WAY too tight. But, most of all, it causes me to feel out of integrity in my health journey & has too often held me back from helping those I love most, because I dont feel honest in my actions. Well, that time is through! This week is a week of new beginnings for me. Because I know I have an amazing tool with our TSFL program, I have hopped right back on that amazing program. I am only 2 days in, but I am also already 2 lbs down & feeling more alert & coherent (I hate how fuzzy I feel when I am not as healthy as I could be!). And, in the interest of being transparent & accountable, I am coming to all of you & asking you to walk this next leg of the journey with me. I will be posting weekly updates on my progress. I will also be posting some success stories of others who have decided to join me on the journey. My deep desire is for this to be a lifetime of health that I am creating, a mindset shift & a breakthrough like no other. There may be some of you out there that feel the same way but have felt stuck & didnt know how to change. Maybe its finally time for you to come along & join me & create the lasting change that starts you on the road to finally living your dreams instead of just wishing for something magic to transform you. Its not going to happen overnight. Its not always going to feel easy. But I know this .... it is worth it! And today, I am kicking aside fear, pride & self-doubt & I am claiming my future. I will walk in new breakthrough & new freedom. Whos with me?!??!?
