This morning I cried...
I cried because tonight I would touch my dreams and tightly grasp the goal I had set for myself. What an overwhelming feeling to realize I would be achieving what I have been working so hard for.

My goals are not centered around weight loss, or on reaching new training heights. My goals are centered around creating a wonderful life for not just me but for all the people I love. My goals are centered around allowing myself to evolve as a life coach, a fitness trainer and a business owner. My passion is inspiring my clients and all those who cross my path to find a better way, live a more balanced life and embrace healthy living and eating.

Today I launched my new 8 week seminar focusing on nutrition but more importantly looking at the relationship between the heart and the mind and the roll they play in the pursuit of weight loss. I filled this class with clients who have been a part of my business for some time but still face struggles with eating, self image and self sabotage. Tonight I can say I was truly inspired by their stories, their honesty and the depth of their emotions. Tonight these women put their trust in me to guide them towards achieving their goals and in return I achieved my own. Very powerful stuff.

How many of you have been so close to achieving your goal and felt that surge of emotion? It is a combination of fear, exhilaration, happiness and anxiety... its so overwhelming I can understand why so many reach this point and turn and go the opposite way. A year ago the thought of speaking to a group was such a huge source of anxiety and fear that I allowed it to stall my career. This was an unacceptable state for me. I refused to succumb to my feelings knowing that to truly achieve the goals I had set for Bodies Under Construction and for myself I had to fight through these emotions. It wasn't easy and I still get nervous and anxious but I have done my work and put in the time required to manage these emotions.

Although the specifics of my goals are very different from that of my clients the drive, the desire, the fear and the anxiety is the same. Learning how to get off the roller coaster of dieting, changing habits, thoughts and feelings about yourself is HARD and takes time and work. The ups and downs of the journey are part of your story and makes getting that much closer to realizing your own goals so exhilarating.

I hope as the weeks pass the women in my class start to feel their own surge of excitement as they realize their dreams and goals can be met. I plan on being there so when the fear sets in I can walk with them as they cross into unknown territory and enjoy a life filled with the feeling of success.

Peace, health and happiness!
