Hey there, Folks!
Here's just a quick update about Little Ol' Me. The scale is holding steady, so I've now been able to maintain my goal weight for over a month with no deviations. I'm still probably logging about 80% of my food intake to make sure I don't go completely hog wild. But for me, "hog wild" means an extra serving of vegan spiced teff "polenta" or maybe a small dollop of organic honey in my tea. Not very "wild", I know, but there's no way I'm letting myself fall back into old habits. Life feels too amazing in this healthy body to ever go back to that. I genuinely feel like I've made some serious, life-long changes to how I eat and more importantly, how I think and feel about food, which I think is half the battle (if not more).
I've gained more focus and clarity on the direction I want to take my health coaching business in the last few weeks and am looking forward to launching it soon. I registered for my CPT (certified personal trainer) exam for January 12th, so I now have a deadline for my studies, which is good and bad. And I took that money from the artwork I sold to upgrade my video equipment for my documentary! I finally feel like I'm making genuine progress towards my goals and it feels great, albeit slightly overwhelming at times. But whenever I get stressed, I put things in perspective take a few deep breaths and press onwards.
This is a really exciting and busy time for me, so I'll do my best to keep you all updated as best I can. I have been reading my buddies' journal entries and I'm glad to see you're doing well! Keep it up and know I'm thinking about you all and sending happy, healthy vibes your way!
Now, go out and make the day extraordinary. You deserve it!
Kale, Kettlebells and Kisses...

Your awesome good luck on your exam not that you'll need it because you got it.

I hear ya! Although, it would not be hard to do, I know I'll never go back to my old ways of eating. However, I know that pattern is just below the surface. And if I died tomorrow and ended up in an all you can eat buffet with all of my favorite foods, with no consequences, I'd know I'm in heaven..lol But it's like smoking with me, I'm done with it.

What kind of Documentary are you going to do?
04 Dec 14 by member: Rockiesfan

As of right now, the documentary will feature me and a year in the life of three (or more?) of my health coaching clients who are struggling with chronic illness (much like I was), demonstrating the amazing transformative impact that simple, healthy decisions can have on one's quality of life. I'm looking to focus a little less on the "nuts and bolts" of health (food, exercise, etc.) and more on the social and emotional reasons people deliberately and repeatedly sabotage their health and wellness. But all of this is subject to change, because life isn't scripted and you just never know what's going to happen once the cameras start rolling!
