My coaching experience taught me more than what I thought I knew, and helped “debunk” some common fitness and nutrition myths. When I signed up for coaching, I hoped for a coach that would be flexible, understanding of the fact that I’m a working mom of two kids with a husband who travels alot for work. My coach was just that. She gave me a lot of grace, patience, and flexibility. I have a picky child, a vegetarian husband, and a toddler, so hitting goals some days were exhausting because I’d be making multiple meals. She guided me on how to manage the multiple meals and offered flexibility in my tracking, while still holding me accountable. Last year, I traveled out of the country for 2 months, and my coach supported me and again, guided me on my nutrition and how to “eat” while maintaining my weight. I came back having maintained my weight. I’m taking a break from coaching because, well, life happens, but I’ll be back. The accountability was the best part.
