Sometimes things in life seem too big or a goal we can never accomplish.
We can’t get past the part of where do I start? This is too hard or why bother?
I share the PFC3 formula of balancing protein fat and carbs every 3 hours to stabilize blood sugar and making changes of 1% a day through mind body lifestyle with my clients because I know this is the last nutritional program they will ever need to learn to help them see and accomplish their goal.
I envision a staircase of 100 steps. If I told my client to run up those 100 steps now they might find anxiety and fear of having to tackle those steps all at once. But if I said we are going to get to the top one step a day they might be more relieved, less anxious about getting to the top and each step represents learning and recognizing habits, behaviors, triggers, emotions, systems and plans
Consistency over time.
I will take you on a visual journey up these steps.. You ready? Lets go!!
Day 1 - Day 7 I start this journey by writing my why…
Why is this so important to me to conquer these steps?
My why has to be meaningful, powerful and important that nothing will get in its way. I also realize why I have failed before with my clients, but I didn’t fail, the “diets” I have been sharing have failed because there was no education behind them and they didn’t touch changing behaviors through mind, body, lifestyle
Day 8-14 Excited for this journey. I am ready to change
Day 15 -21 Finding my rhythm, taking one step at a time and marinating in the learning, noticing things changing in my body that I didn’t even know existed
ahh what a good feeling that is .. sometimes I think hmm I didn’t even know what my body was supposed to feel like because I have been feeling like this for so long, I thought it was normal.
This is how I am supposed to feel?
boy I was wrong
Day 22 - 28
By serving my body I am sleeping much better, don't feel bloated, have more energy, and more confident that I am going to make it to the top . I am seeing my way through
Day 29 - 35 When I think of the word integration I think of to complete or produce a whole larger unit.. So I think about integrating all these small changes for a healthier lifestyle. I self reflect on why I started.
Day 36 - 42 I meditate on all the things that I appreciate about this journey because I am halfway there. Gratitude comes to mind as I start to appreciate my body and how we only get one. I better start taking care of mine by balancing my blood sugar
I love and accept myself fully.
Day 43 - 49 I start to reflect on how my life will look as a new healthier version of me
I now know emotion vs physical hunger. I learn my emotional triggers around food. I also learn the importance of morning time and planning my meals for the day.
Day 50 - 56 As I start to explore my surroundings I also start to explore myself
I look around me and see how beautiful the top of the stairs look and start to see how beautiful of a person I am starting to become, a stronger, healthier version of me
Day 57 - 63 I start to be intentional with decisions, I want to stay the path and I realize if I take a step back I know how to get back up by being intentional with my decisions there is no good or bad its all data to use for my body
Day 64 - 70 I can start to see the top. My vision is clearer each day. I am proud of myself for making it this far. Has it been easy? No there have been ups and downs but I am learning so much about myself and how my body feels when my blood sugar is stabilized and I am making the commitment to myself to stay the course
Day 71 - 77 I sit on this step and revisit my purpose,my why. I reflect on the reason I started this journey. A better role model for health, to be able to keep up with my children and grandchildren but mostly for me that I finally found a program that I can confidently share with my clients. This would be the last nutrition program I ever need
Day 78 - 84 Making it to the top as a much better version of myself, being consistent in this journey one step at a time. I reflect on changes
I learned so much about myself, and how having a dysregulated blood sugar can wreak havoc on my body overall. The metabolic disease that I might get diagnosed with has been wreaking havoc on my body the last 10 years
Day 85 - 91 WOW I see the top very clearly and this is all making sense to me
I am starting to understand how to live this lifestyle and why this is so important for my health.
I learned so much about my identity, how to read labels stabilizing my blood sugar so I can complete this journey with ease. I am starting to fly my own plane and I am almost reaching altitude
I start my morning with intention and devotion and it is the best part of my day
I am cultivating a new me and I love the new me
Day 92 - 100 I made it!! . Since I have been out on this climb and have no access to a scale I don’t miss it. A scale would define who I was each day. A pound lost all is good, a pound gained, negative self talk would set in, the giving up racket would start. What I did notice was the non scale victories.. My energy is back, i am sleeping better, my stress levels have lowered, I move and breathe more deeply and freely, learned how to prep and prepare meals with no stress, my clothes are looser, morning time and systems
Approaching day 100 I realize it doesn’t stop at day 100 this is a continuous journey of health and wellness
I found myself. I knew she was in there. I just needed to make small changes each day
I truly found the last nutritionprogram I will ever need to share with my clients ….
Yours in Health
