Ok. So I had an "ah-ha" moment last night.
I was looking through a fellow coaches THREE year transformation last night. I couldn't stop looking at her pictures, her quotes, her story ect. Her name is Kenna Shell and she's awesome. And looks amazing. And has worked very hard for it. She has had many companies steal her hard earned before and after pictures claiming it was their product, pill, whatever have you that changed her. Well it was not, it was all Beachbody workout programs, clean eating and you guessed it- Shakeology. Most of all patience and consistency. While I was looking (ok stalking at this point LOL) I thought- "why not me?". This whole month especially I have been telling you guys, "its your turn", "why not you", when I should've been telling myself that.

Truth be told, I've been a health and fitness coach for almost two years, and I'm still not where I want to be. I've had a lot of ups and downs. I've had times where I was on point, working hard, following my program/meal plan, and feeling proud. I've also had moments where I was lazy, eating junk, missing workouts and feeling crappy. At this point, I feel like I'm right back to where I started a little over two years ago. I'm sick of "starting over" and I'm embarrassed to coach others how to live their life while I'm not being the example they deserve.
I've put off making this blog post because I'm honestly scared of what people are going to think. What will my fellow coaches think? What will my challengers think? What will my friends and family think? What will people who were just about to message me for help, think? But I'm taking that risk. I think it sometimes takes you to hit a low point to really dig deep and get motivated from within. I know deep down I have helped a lot of people, I have supported them and motivated them to make lifestyle changes. And for that I'm proud.
I know what works. Now, its time to truly focus on myself. I need to be proud of ME personally. My body. My choices. My effort. I need to refocus on MY goals. I need to put in the work. I need to stick to my meal plans. I need to be prepared. I need to be happy with who is looking back at me in the mirror. I need to stop giving excuses. I need to overcome my lack of self control around food. I need to stop giving myself a pass. I need to truly commit to my plan, and stay consistent. I need to not be in a bad mood because nothing fits. I need to stop fighting the internal battle. I can tell you I KNOW I haven't been myself. I haven't been happy with myself. And when you're not happy with yourself, its a domino effect that trickles down to everything in your life. Relationships, being a mom, my business, daily life.
Whew. That was REALLY hard to write out and to be honest with myself. This is the honest truth. I'm putting myself and my emotions out there to be judged by all of you! Go easy on me!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT- you've only failed when you've stopped trying, right? So now that its out in the open here is my PLAN. You cant get anywhere without a plan.
GAME PLAN
It's time to get back to basics. It's time to re-focus on my journey (sorry Jess R. if you're reading this lol!). I'm going to pull out my old meal plans as a reference, and re-read "The Eat Clean Diet", by Tosca Reno. I'm going to start reading the piles of nutrition books that I have started and not finished. I'm going to continue with Body Beast and add in my HIIT workouts 3x a week (working on getting back to morning workouts.) I'll be having my Shakeology for breakfast or lunch. I will be drinking my water. I'm going to really learn how to effectively overcome obstacles I face (like I'm legit addicted to salty food.) I want to be the best version of me so that I can help you be the same. I know its going to take time. But every decision I make will either bring me closer to my goals or push me further away. My favorite quote is "Progress not Perfection". I am not expecting myself to be perfect. But I do expect myself to stay consistent in reaching my goals. Its time to get to WORK! I will be blogging more about what I'm doing, and updating you. I plan to dabble into YouTube (yikes) as well. I will also have an opportunity for you to join me and other coaches in getting back on track and holding each other accountable. More details on that to come. I'm still here for YOU as well. We need to stick together. Lets do this. Stay tuned. I hope you still love me. I hope you still trust me! And I hope you will follow me along the way.
