I knew I had to make a lifestyle change to improve my health but with my busy schedule, I didn’t know where to start. That was when I picked up the phone and called my health coach. Since my first discussion with my coach, I have lost 20 pounds and continue to call my health coach as motivation to remain focused on my health.
Smoking was a bad habit that I had tried to break many times. After just three calls with my health coach, we identified the triggers that made me want to smoke and ways to cope. As a result, I've learned to manage my cigarette cravings and set goals to increase my physical activity. I feel better than I have in years.
After having back surgery, I needed help creating a physical activity plan to aid in my recovery. I was concerned that my back wouldn't be able to handle strenuous activity but my health coach helped create a plan of action that worked for me. She suggested swimming as an option to stay active and it has become extremely enjoyable and beneficial to my health. I am extremely proud of the progress I have made.
