    @Caroline_slowandsteady how do I do this you ask, I just take each day as it comes along if it’s a special day I may skimp somewhere along the way for a meal have no snacks and possibly do a little more exercise but…if I mess it up well it’s no worries life is to short I can’t change what’s done but can make changes for today. That’s how I do it.

    Well done Kate — getting it done! Starting to feel the benefits of regular deep stretching. Still like pulling teeth to get myself to do it…. But keeping on. It helps to have an accountability partner — thank you. 🌷🌷🌷 @snowshoe072

    @Caroline_slowandsteady
    I could have written your post. I’m exactly the same & especially struggled this month & gained. I have tracked all, and still kept doing it.

    This month especially bad with food for all the same reasons. Plus I haven’t been planning which is I know, a plan to fail.

    Thank you for posting & to all the insights that others shared.

    I love this group & even though I’m not doing everything yet, I continue to feel supported & encouraged.

    Thank you all for letting me stay part of it.

    Linda

    Thank you @jamcnewman 💗 it is both. I'm very excited for this new stage in my journey!

    @jamcnewman I responded quickly yesterday but didn't have much time to explain so I will do so now - and thank you for asking! I've just started training to become a certified life coach. Part of being a great life coach is learning to self-coach and coach from a "clean slate" - everything I learn about how to coach clients is what I'll use to coach myself, too. I didn't know much about life coaching and hadn't interacted with a life coach personally until about a year ago when I stumbled upon a podcast that really changed everything for me (by Katrina Ubell, a physician and certified life coach). I started working on my mindset; working on the source of the issues not just the symptoms. From there I found other life coaches to learn from and it has made a huge difference for me. I've learned so much in my journey from these life coaches and one day it became clear that this is a gift I want to give to others. I will also be regularly coached one-on-one by other life coaches in this process which I know will accelerate my personal progress and growth.

    Further along in the program I'll be offering free 20-30 minute Zoom call (audio only) coaching on any topic/issue the client chooses as part of my certification requirements. If you or anyone else here in UAC are interested in being on that list for free coaching, please add me as a friend and send me a direct message!

    Regarding keeping up posting here, I start my seasonal job next week too so looking ahead I am not confident I'll be able to keep up with regular check-ins and don't want to pull my focus off the task ahead. I want to put all my efforts into self-coaching, working with my coaches on the areas of my life I want to improve, and learning the skills to be the best life coach I can possibly be for my future clients. I truly appreciate all of the wonderful people in this group and all the encouragement and support I've received while here. I hope you @jamcnewman and others will take me up on my offer to have a coaching session in the coming months!

    How absolutely marvellous Mak! You will be a wonderful coach because you are open to self
    reflection and improvement yourself. So key to success in this area. Have sent you a private message as I would love a coaching session with you when that time comes in your training journey. Wishing you all the best @makattack220 🌷🌷🌷
