When I felt better I did aerobics or went running, but it wasn’t enough and was way to sporadic. I tried every diet program out there and while some things worked, the weight always came back. As a Navy Reservist we are required to perform our bi-annual physical fitness test, which includes either a weigh-in or BCA where you are taped to figure out your body fat. I had to start doing this a couple years ago and although I passed with the taping method I still felt humiliated.
This past summer I really wanted to pass my fitness test without being taped. I came across an online support group through Facebook that provided coaching, mentoring, motivation, support, nutritional guidance, meal plans, meal prepping and so much more. I don’t know why but I knew it was going to work and I couldn’t hit the “like” button fast enough on the post and send the person a message letting her know my “why”. I guess I impressed her enough because I landed my spot in her free coaching group!
