Is accountability really that important?

Is accountability really that important?


I remember thinking that my weightloss trials were too embarrassing to reach out and ask for help. 

I kept myself isolated and spinning in my own head.

What I didn't know was I was making it even harder for me to stick to my plans.  

I was missing out on the neuroscientific advantages of human connection.  

I don't want you to struggle through alone. 

I'm sending out this invitation to support yourself by allowing others to encourage you.  

"Friends help us get out of our heads and into our hearts."  - Ben Courson

Godly friends are blessings. They are part of His plan for us.  

This is why I consider it such a privilege to walk alongside the women I work with.  

I see the difference it makes for them when they give up trying to accomplish their goals alone. 

One of the pieces of having the support of others is the strategy of accountability.  

Now, my take on accountability isn't looking out for and trying to avoid messing up.

My view of accountability is the opportunity to celebrate the progress each other is making.

"Accountability is actually about giving an account -for-your-ability and not an account-for-your-disability. " - Kris Vallotton. 

This is a complete shift in the old way of interpreting "being accountable".

When we spend time with those who encourage us, we are more apt to continue putting forth the effort it takes to create change.

Encourage means to put courage in.

That is one of my favorite parts of my service to my clients.  Along with solid scientific nutritional and emotional management, I fortify my programs with encouragement from our Father God.
I am the conduit for His messages to you, His beloved child.

Do you not think that the God who created your heart is the one who best knows how to put it together when it's broken?  - Ben Courson

The One Thing You Need to Know...

The One Thing You Need to Know...  What is it?  What is the one thing you need to know in order to achieve your goals? If your goal is to lose weight, is the one thing you need to know, a diet , powder or pill? If your goal is to manage your time, is the one thing you need to know, the best planner? If your goal is to exercise, is the one thing you need to know, the best workout? If your goal is to have more self confidence, is the one thing you need to know, the best mantras? Would you believe me if I told you that the one thing you need to know for accomplishing   any goal does not come from outside of you?  It comes from within.  One day, I was hosting a group call with my coaching clients, and I asked the question, "What is the one thing you need to know in order to continue in the wellness steps we have been practicing?" I listened to the answers from the group and then they asked me the one thing I needed to know. My ...

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?  Every change we make, every accomplishment we achieve takes a certain amount of time.   We could even agree that the greatest accomplishments take more time.   But when it comes to losing weight, we want it to be fast.  This messes with our mind, our emotions and our commitment. I want you to think about when you enrolled in college.  You decided on a field of study and a degree you set out to earn and graduate.   Or, you can think about High School.  You set out to graduate.   When you signed up, you expected that it would take a number of days you would need to continue taking action.  You made a plan, followed through and repeated.....Over and over and over.   When you were a sophomore, did you say to yourself, "I haven't graduated yet I think I'll quit?" In the 6th month of your Senior year did you throw up your hands and stop completing the requ...

The New Normal

The New Normal How do we decide what normal eating is? Who decides?  Is it us or is it culture? Is it my thoughts, or society's thoughts? What is the association we are creating with our thoughts about food being part of our life events? Do we really need pizza and beer to make watching football more enjoyable?  Do we need to have sugary treats to celebrate the Holidays? I personally, had to spend time questioning my involvement in spreading this confusion during family gatherings. One of the qualities I wanted to be known for was to be a good cook.  I had to decide what I thought a "good cook" meant to me.  Was it to bake foods that were loaded with mind altering substances? Or, could I decide that preparing food that was actually higher on the nutritional scale is of more value? Hmm, what an interesting question.  What is my new normal? Another question I asked myself is, "How am I going to feel after I eat those mind-altering foods?  W...
