Katie Finds Wellness

Did you know that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are 43% of your week? I never realized this, and I used to phone it in on the weekends. Seriously. Friday night to Sunday night, I was in full-on "No Fs given" mode. Unfortunately, this also meant I wasn't getting any results. In fact, I gained some weight for a while, a little each week. What changed? I became a badass on the weekends. 1. I worked out every day on the weekends, even if it's just a mile walk. Movement has become key for me, and I never miss a day- Friday though Sunday. 2. I choose my treats carefully, not eating every sweet or salty treat in sight. I'm not talking about denying yourself your aunts special sticky buns (shout out to my Aunt Michele). I'm talking about drinks that aren't even tasty, the dry donuts leftover from this morning, and the chips your kid rejected. 3. I drink my water, no matter what. My goal is a gallon, and I drink it. I pack my favorite cup every time I trave...

My coach, Molly, has been with me for almost three years now, and I plan to keep her around for as long as she'll be my coach. Why? I need a coach. When it comes to many things- weightloss, wellness, business- most of the very successful people I know have a coach. Why does this help so much? Having a coach is an auotomatic source of accountability, and those check-ins can be powerful. You don't want to tell someone else that you skipped workouts all week or that you didn't prioritize your wellness for some BS reason. Having a coach gives you someone to bounce ideas off of. I can't tell you how many times Molly has listened as I lamented my disdain for vegetables or my frustration with the scale. Having a coach also allows you to process. When you process outloud and talk to someone else, sometimes you open doors that you didn't realize even existed. It helps you self-analyze and figure out the details of your life. Here's specifically what Molly and I have ...

Something crazy is coming. My coaching certification wraps up pretty soon, and I just had a coaching call with my coach. She and I both agree that I'm ready to take beta clients. What does that mean? I'll offer coaching at a super reduced price for a few people who are willing to work out the kinks with me. They'll get the same great, super involved coaching that I'd offer anyone, but it's cheap. The bonus for me is that they're hopefully going to give me feedback and together we'll make this process better for my future clients. BUT THIS IS SCARY AND CRAZY TO ME!!!  But honestly, I think it’s going to be ok. I’ve had a great coach. If you’re looking to get mentored for business, Christy Campbell is your girl. I worked super hard at my certification, and seriously put in the time with my class partner client. I think I’m going to crush this, and be an awesome source of accountability for others. I'll be posting on Facebook and Instagram on Monday looking...
