Last week I packed up my new summer wardrobe and flew to Orlando, Florida for an event called "Go Global!" This event has nothing to do with global warming! I heard someone suggest that in the elevator. No, this was a training event for health coaches! 5 Star resort with pools and a lazy river, nice accomodations and an alligator on the golf course. What an office! I loved sitting under the palm tree's and learning from some of the finest health coaches in the country!
What did I learn? Last year, Dr. Anderson (the founder and Medical Director of Take Shape For Life) wrote a book and created a whole system on The Habits of Health. I have read it, been changed by it and have encouraged my clients to buy the book and companion guide, but I hadn't really known how to use it. Lori Anderson (Dr. Anderson's wife and a Registered Nurse) taught a class on how to use the system with our clients! One of the things I heard someone say was that some of us lose weight, but our mind is still fat! With the use of the 3 tools we use (medifast meal replacements, the health coach and the Habits of Health system) we work on making our mind skinny to match our new bodies! It made so much sense to me. I've gotten my weight under control more than a few times, but my mind remained fat. I dreamed of junk food and that full feeling that makes you sleepy. Mmm. So, how do we over come that? How do we make our mind skinny and healthy and keep the weight off? Let's work on our Habits of Health together!
My recommendations are as follows: if you are already working with a health coach (especially if you are working with me!!) please, if you haven't already, order Dr. Anderson's Habits of Health book combo! After this is ordered (and for those of you who have already ordered it!) then I will give you weekly assignments. IF you aren't signed up with a health coach yet, please contact me! I'd love to help you place your first order and I have a coupon code for $50 off so we can get you the book combo, essentially for free. I look forward to working with you all on this system and creating health in your life!
I learned SO much more on this trip. I learned that I exist to stir bravery and instill courage in people. Losing weight can be scary! Trying new things, taking chances, going for adventures! I learned that I am an enthusiastic personality! I'm a cheerleader! If I believe in something and get excited about it, you can't hold me back! (By the way, I LOVE TAKE SHAPE FOR LIFE!!!)
Of course I learned so much and I am glad to be home again with my kids and husband. I missed them all so much. So, now I continue my Mt. Hood climb training and tomorrow I take my certification exam for TSFL! Please feel free to contact me at any time via email/facebook/texts/instant messaging or phone!
P.S. Tonight at 7 pm, Gresham Memorial Chapel, we have our weekly support meeting. WE will be tasting food, explaining the 5 & 1 TSFL program and encouraging those already on plan! This is a good time to bring friends who may be interested in the program as well! I hope to see you there!
About Me
- Charity Husk
- I am a Certified Health Coach and I help people with A healthy, fast way to lose up to 2-5 lbs a week and keep it off for life! I love what I do and I feel like I'm a natural at empowering others to achieve what they once believed was impossible. Call me if you're interested, if you'd like to hear more or if you just want to chat. I'd love to meet you at Starbucks and encourage you to strive for greatness! When I started my journey toward optimal health I journaled almost every day. The oldest posts on here are from the view point of an obese whiner who had no hope and believed change was impossible. Read the oldest posts for hope and encouragement if you are on your journey toward optimal health. You will see my life has experienced a major transformation and now I write often about my life lessons and adventures. Enjoy!
