Welcome to the weekend. Today is my "Friday". My boys are with their father this weekend. I hate that so much. I miss them. But I will just make the most of the time as I always do. Grabbing a bite with friends tonight and tomorrow will hit the gym hard, maybe get a pedicure and attend the communion party for my friend's son. Yayyy Dylan! :) And then my boys come home!! Woooo! I love Sundays!
Let me focus on today now, lol. Drinking my coffee. It's a beautiful thing! I read a quote as soon as I woke up this morning. "Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you" - Hafiz. Woah. Isn't that the truth? It seems so many are in the process of trying to find and be happy that they remember to just BE happy. It really is up to you. Of course there are certain things people want in their lives to enrich it but you can choose to be happy and enjoy life despite them.
I know first hand the process of losing weight and what that entails. I know the information out there can drive you crazy as it constantly changes. This is a bit crass but there's a quote from Steel Magnolias. "He doesn't know whether to scratch is watch or wind his butt". So true when it comes to health, fitness, weight-loss! And I think it's done on purpose as it is a HUGE business. Keeping everyone confused and looking for answers makes certain companies profit.
Yes, my endeavor to be a health coach would help me profit but I would be doing a job that would help people be able to do it on their own eventually. That is my goal anyway. I want to prepare plans for each individual based on their own needs. Everyone is different with different metabolism, body chemistry, genetics, etc. So really one plan is not going to work for everyone. It takes getting to know each person and what is the best plan to incorporate into THEIR life. I want to go shopping with people, help them prepare dishes. Having someone guide you to the right place is so helpful!
My Fitness Pal is a great site and if you want a place to track your calories or exercise, definitely check it out. There is an APP for it too. There is also a community of message boards with people constantly posting about problems, questions, success, all of it. It is a free website too. Can't beat that!!
Here is a link to the site. You see little pictures with testimonials flashing by on the sign in page..and I am one of them! :)
