One of my favorite parts of my coach training was the inside out work. There is a great amount of training with many components to it but essentially it is living your life purpose and your values from the inside out. What goes on with you is really an inside job. If you are stressed [...]
Spring Into Action!
by Cathy on 04. May, 2009 in Motivation and Inspiration
I love Spring. I love the transitional seasons of Spring and Fall. Spring represents new beginnings, a fresh start, growth of color and beauty. Nature comes alive bringing that feeling of new life into each of us. The change of season from Winter when it seems as though nothing is going on yet so much [...]

Lessons From A Dog as Your Teacher
by Cathy on 17. Dec, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration
I’ve run lists very like this one a few times over the past year, and I always love them. I love animals, especially dogs and cats, so I’m totally biased. Nevertheless, I do think the world might be a better place if we considered the following. This list was sent to me and I thoroughly [...]
My Thanksgiving To YOU!
by Cathy on 01. Dec, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration
The official holiday of Thanksgiving is now behind us. Does it have to be? The holiday of Thanksgiving is only celebrated one day a year in the United States…but what if we made it a daily event? Before you have visions of stuffing and pecan pie floating in your head, wait! I’m not suggesting we repeat all the [...]

by Cathy on 23. Oct, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration
None of us are perfect in following our nutritional program and exercise routine. We slip up.

Weight Loss Surgery Olympian Champion
by Cathy on 09. Sep, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration
As the Olympics have ended, I miss watching them and the features on the athletes. It was so inspirational to hear the stories of the athletes. Every day people doing extraordinary things. The commitment, dedication and challenges overcome they live every day is phenomenal. I lookforward to the next Olympics and seeing in action the inner [...]
In The Present
by Cathy on 28. Jul, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration
How often are you truly living in the present? Do you live in the past, rehashing events, situations, reliving hurts, and the way things were? Do you live in the future with your hopes, dreams, and plans? Our past and our future are both important parts of us. Too many times though we live in [...]

by Cathy on 24. Jul, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration
Do you have a role model? Of course, you don’t need one but many times when you’re dieting or making any changes in your life, it helps to have a mentor or someone that has accomplished what you’re doing. Someone, such as a weight loss coach, can provide support and help you achieve your goals [...]
