My Personal Journey
My health journey started a few years ago, right during the middle of the pandemic. I found myself unemployed and away from a very active job as a Physical Therapist Assistant in outpatient PT. I was worried about gaining weight while sitting around the house trying to avoid Covid. At that point, I decided that I have the time and energy, I might as well use it and workout. I started slow and knew it would take some time to find the exercises I liked most. After about 2 months, I started tracking calories as well and set a weight loss goal of 15 lbs. I've never dieted in my life, but for some reason this didn't really feel like a diet. I took the challenge head on and even got my husband to work on his weight loss goals. After a full year, we both lost over 30 lbs! Yes, it's great and all, but over the course of the year, something in my mindset shifted. I learned that it wasn't the destination that I was focused on, it was the daily journey. It was waking up excited in the morning for a new workout. It was finding a new healthier recipe on Pinterest to add to my rotation. It was having more energy to explore new hobbies. Most importantly, it was gaining the self confidence that I had been lacking for years to realize that I can do hard things! It was learning that trying something new and not being successful the first time was not a failure, but a chance to learn from it and do better the next time I tried! Our health is not something we just work on for a short amount of time, or when the scale says a specific number. It's a change in mindset and your actions for the better and for the long haul. When I found my joy, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and become a health coach. The joy I get now is from helping my clients realize their health potential and find the joy in their journey!
