I have completed 2 rounds of coaching. The first time i signed up i was very active biking/hiking 4 or 5 days a week. But i was a testament that you cant out exercise a bad diet. My first round of coaching I learned so much about staying within calories and getting enough protein. I learned how to track my macros and make good snack choices. I had great success. I decided to go on my own after my 3 months was up feeling confident. And i did pretty well. But I struggled staying in maintenance. I didnt gain it all back, but I was inching my way back up. About a year later with my wedding coming up right after Christmas, a honeymoon, and a big biking event on the horizon I knew I needed some help to get back to a weight where I felt good about me. So I signed up for another round. The best decision I could have made. With my coach Sue's guidance I had gotten down to my goal weight range after a month. My caoch suggested i stop tracking so I could get used to doing maintenace. I learned how to size portions, listen to hunger cues, and to build my meals around protein. I was able to lose a couple of pounds during this time. But more importantly I was noticing how fueling my body with good foods was helping with my bike training. Im feeling so much stronger and confident leading into this cycling season. Im so grateful to Sue for supporting me during the valleys and cheering me on in the peeks of this journey. I love this lifestyle of eating well and being active. For anyone out there on the fence of signing up for a coach...DO IT!! Itnis totally worth it!
