My hair stylist teaches me about “fun”. What do you do for fun?

If you know me, you know I love getting my hair cut. Probably like you, it’s one of the few times in my day where I get to sit still and let someone do something for me.  I love to visit my stylist, Agata, at Balayage in Hillsdale NJ. Before I met Agata I would [...]

Susan’s Blog: Down 76.5lbs and counting. What is motivating her?

Susan derose - June

I want you to know I report Susan’s weight to you every week because it’s exciting to see her progress, but I also hope it will get you to read her blog posts.  The reason I want you to read her posts, and Alison’s and Chrissy’s, is because they are sharing real stories and incredible insights that can and will assist you in your health journey. They’re also damn good writers.

In my last session with Susan, we both had tears in our eyes in the middle of a Starbucks. At one point she leaned in and said, “You better not make me cry in Starbucks”. I said, “too late, I’m already there”.  Why did we get so emotional?  I asked Susan, she might say pushed :-) , to tell me how she was doing so well and what was motivating her.  She also showed up with a complete analysis of her food and fitness and questions for me. I was floored.  As her coach, I was never more proud.  She is doing the things that successful people do, and unsuccessful people refuse to do.   I’ll let her tell you about it below. We also spent time after the session talking as close friends, which I value greatly.  Thank you Susan for being my friend and sharing your courageous journey with us!

One more thing. She gave me a semi-convincing argument for not doing the bands at home due to lack of space. I wouldn’t let her off the hook that easy :-) Maybe she’ll tell you about it sometime. more »
