Working with Brian has been a great investment in my health. I decided to pursue health coaching following some personal goal setting. Several times in the past I have resolved to focus on my health. But other priorities always seemed to trump. Necessity caused me to look at it differently.
Over the past ten weeks I have been recovering from shoulder surgery, traveling for work, sold a house and moved to a new one, moved office locations...all the while, with Brian's help I have dropped 17 pounds and am getting my stamina back following the surgery.
I am not back to full physical activity yet, but I am feeling much better during the recovery due to better fuel choices. The shoulder issues were the result of arthritis, which is greatly irritated by inflammation. Eating better food and dropping weight has greatly reduced the inflammation, and I am not taking anti-inflammatory medications now. I feel better....bottom line.
For me the secret has been accountability, and guidance to make better choices. That has come in great part due to the constant feedback I get from Brian. If my food choices were well intended, but off track, he will text me feedback on alternatives or strategies that could be better.
Getting started took a commitment. But once we got going, it has been easy. We talk on the phone once a week but probably communicate 50 times a week by text. He has great resources to assist in making better health choices. Choices for eating at the airport, fast food restaurants, work dinners, social outings with friends...each have been traps for me in the past.
Make a commitment to yourself to do it. You will be glad you did. read more
