What’s Made You Feel Good Lately?

Thank You

I want to thank everyone for reading my first update “I Fired Corporate America”.  And the comments I received has given me the confidence I am on the right track regarding my career change to a health and fitness coach.  For just about everyone, life has it’s ups and downs.  I am no different.

To make those down moments easier, it was suggested I “journal”…writing down thoughts and happenings in my life.  So that is what I’m doing.  I am not doing it daily yet but so far it has been a healing process.

With sharing my journal, I hope to not only provide you with updates…but bring something of value.  That is my goal…part of my Pay It Forward mantra.  So thanks again for reading and providing your feedback…it’s greatly appreciated.

My Summer Vacation

As the summer sun has faded and the cool breeze of fall is filling the air, I couldn’t help but look back on this past summer.  After my “day job” ended in the spring to embark on a new career as a health and fitness coach…it was quite a feeling to be breaking a 25 year routine.

The best description to explain how I felt…Freedom!  Being free from many things, but what comes to mind first…no more Monday morning commute to the office to dread!  How many of you can relate to that alarm clock ringing?

Now I didn’t become a total bum…well, if I don’t count the first two weeks anyway.  Sure,  no more commute…but my bank account was only going to last so far without getting my new career and business going.

But luckily I didn’t have to focus 100% on that…or at least made the choice not to.  I committed to some things that made it an awesome summer.  I will bring more of these moments in future updates…along with some video and pics but they include:

• Training and completing my second Ironman triathlon in British Columbia, Canada
• A 100 mile “century” bike ride with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training program in Lake Tahoe
• Traveling to St. Louis for the National Conference of Wildtree…one of my key solutions in my coaching to get people to Eat Better
• And despite being on “summer vacation”…enrolling in the Institute For Integrative Nutrition to become a certified holistic health coach

Wildtree

Wildtree has been an integral part of my message to Eat Better & Move More.  I’ve been involved with Wild tree since the spring of 2009.  Starting on a part-time basis, I’m glad I can devote more time to it now as part of my health and fitness coaching.  Wildtree is an all natural food company that is growing like crazy.

Wildtree started out as a way for a single mom to feed her kids food that didn’t contain all the additives that have infiltrated today’s highly processed food supply.  That was 15 years ago.  Now they have something for everyone…whether concerned about your health or not.  With around 200 items, their line covers everything from appetizers to desserts…breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I’ve been displaying at a lot of expos and fairs this fall throughout S.E. Michigan but will also do a home tasting or help you with fundraising.  I am in the middle of contacting all my past contacts from these expos but feel free to contact me first.

I will show you how to Cook and Eat Healthier Meals and Reduce Kitchen Time Stress! Wouldn’t be nice to easily answer the question “What’s For Dinner?”

Let me know if you have an interest.  You can read more about it at www.mywildtree.com/Fit4Life.

As always, thanks for reading and your comments are welcomed!

Pay It Forward – Make The World Happy…and always Press Play!

Hello World. LOL

Yes, the default title of a post when you start a blog. Actually I love the song from Lady Antebellum so I thought I would keep it in as my first post.

25 years in Corporate America came to an end for me at the end of April 2011. I had a chance to stay…but venturing out on my own is something that I had wanted to do for a long time. So I decided it was time.

“Do What You Like, Like What You Do!” and “Pay It Forward.” Two philosophies that have driven me to this moment. So with that…Health, Fitness and Business will be my concentration to make a difference in the lives of others.

I will do this as a coach…both for personal health and business.  My main goal is to educate and support.  But people also want to know where to start.  So I will also provide solutions with products and services.

It’s not easy to change careers.  Sure there was the excitement…but a little bit of anxiety too. Do I go back to school? Do I get certified? Can I make enough? Time was of the essence if I wanted to make this happen.

My first move was to enroll in a Nutrition program.  A distance learning program with a college in New York.  I start the 12 month program in May. Through this I will become certified as a Health Coach.

I’ve also partnered with leading organizations, both in the non-profit and for profit sectors. Using their expert knowledge, research and staff to bring you cutting edge info and products for better health and aging.

I will tell you about some of these in upcoming posts.  In the meantime, thanks for reading and I look forward to bringing you more of this new venture..
