Today is the final check in with Beth after 6 months on her coaching program (which you can find out more about here)
Beth’s coaching has totally and utterly changed my life. In the last 6 months I have lost over 2.5 stone but that is just the tip of the iceberg. I could not have believed 6 months ago that my life could change so much for the better.
Before I started coaching I used to have an internal battle with myself about which 2 or 3 days I would exercise each week. If I managed 1 or 2 workouts/runs then I saw that as a win. I needed Beth to hold me accountable so that I would exercise. 6 months later Beth is lecturing me about the importance of having rest days as I just can’t get enough of exercising!
I initially said that one of my goals was to try and have at least 4 dry nights a week and to drink moderately on the other nights. I have drunk alcohol moderately on 3 nights in the past month and had several months of not drinking at all. What is most amazing about this is that I have loved every minute of it. Why would I get drunk and not be able to get up for a run the next day?? I don’t recognise myself and this is down to the videos, podcasts and coaching that Beth has shared with me. I haven’t had to be a hermit either – I’ve still really enjoyed sober nights out, parties and several camping trips.
Other positive side effects of this coaching are:
- I have more energy
- I sleep much better
- I am happy
- I am calm
- I am mindful
- I rarely get stressed and if I do then it passes quickly as I am much better at taking control of situations
- My blood pressure is normal
- I am more productive at work
- I don’t usually need to get up for the loo in the night
- I don’t hate photos of myself
- I don’t have to wear baggy clothes anymore
- People keep telling me I look great
- I spend all the money I used to spend on booze on clothes (good job I don’t drink much as I can’t stop buying clothes as everything I try on looks great!)
- My dogs are getting great walks/runs
- I’m setting a good example to my kids
- I no longer spend lots of time worrying about my health
- I no longer have constant internal battles with myself about drinking, eating healthily and exercising. It just comes naturally.
- No food is off limits
- I no longer avoid carbs
- I don’t get stressed if my hubby puts a huge glug of oil in the pan when he’s cooking
- I can run up hills without stopping
- I can run 10 km in under an hour
This coaching is the best money I have ever spent and can’t thank Beth enough. Having someone in my corner who is so empathic and passionate about me and my health has been amazing. I’m going to have to carry on attending Beth’s boxercise classes so that I still get my Beth fix every week.
Here’s a before and after shot!
