The other day I was reading through some emails from clients (members of our MOVE. adult group training program at Skill of Strength and currently enrolled in a nutrition group I am running). In between chuckles from silly comments, I came to the realization {again} that I am so beyond blessed. Not only do our awesome clients make me laugh on a regular basis, but they also help to inspire me to be a better coach and keep me on my toes. It makes my heart happy when I know our clients are getting healthier, stronger and more confident!
I always tell my clients that two of the most important items when it comes to weight loss are planning ahead and knowing how to get back on track after you get off track.
One of my clients who is completely ‘getting it’ wrote me an emailed titled Confession Time after a weekend away with friends. After the confession portion of the email came the real good stuff. I’m telling you guys, it makes me giddy when things really click for a client.
When I got home yesterday, I immediately went to the grocery store for tons of fresh veggies and chicken so I could make myself a nice big salad for dinner and prep for the week. It felt SO good to eat healthy foods!!
I definitely had fun this weekend, and I know I could have stayed on track a bit more in some areas, but when I think of it…I could have also been a lot worse. I made sure I got as much sleep as I could at night, even when it meant going to bed while the partying was still going on. All in all, it was a solid reminder that I’m changing my eating habits for a reason.
Another one of my nutrition clients ended an email to me with the following bit of information.
FYI – I think I saw an abdominal muscle last week – you know what that means – 6 more weeks of winter.
It’s true when people say it doesn’t feel like work when you love what you’re doing. Sharing the gift of good health is so awesome. I seriously love my job and my clients. The additional laughs don’t hurt either.

I love this too! As others have said, you’ve clearly created an incredible community with your clients. Love that. I’m so happy for you. PS that ecard? So spot on!! haha.
The ecard cracked me up. No one actually says those words, but their actions might as well be shouting those words.
LOVE THIS!!! You’ve clearly built quite an awesome community there which is just the best, isn’t it? Seeing clients change right before your eyes and to be EXCITED about healthy changes in their normal routines, just the best. Its exactly what drives me as an instructor — seeing clients evolve, change, grow and be HAPPIER because of it.
Isn’t it just awesome to see how happy clients are when they start taking care of themselves? 🙂
So awesome, glad you’re loving it! Clients are the best and teach me so much…
Yes!! Clients are awesome. 🙂
LOVE this friend! Love the community you too are creating and your wonderful clients who care and who stay on track and are motivated all by YOU and your husband. Amazing 🙂 Congrats, I am a proud friend 🙂
Awww thanks!!! So excited to see you next week. 🙂
