Embarking on Your Fitness Journey: Why I'm Your Ideal Sherpa

Are you a parent with a demanding 9-5 job? Do you feel like finding time for fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is an uphill battle? I've been there too, and I want to share my story and why I'm the perfect coach to guide you on your journey to better health.


From 270 lbs to 150 lbs: My Journey


Like many, I didn't realize I was overweight until one defining moment. It wasn't the frequent clothes shopping for larger sizes or the dine-outs that got me there. It was a simple incident in a classroom, where I lost my favorite pen, and it took an uncomfortable adjustment of my pants to find it - wedged between my rolls. That was my wake-up call.


I'm 5'8" and, at the time, weighed 270 lbs. It was a turning point. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, experimenting with various diets and training programs. I tried it all, from carnivore to keto, and even the popular OMAD (One Meal a Day) diet. These diets can provide amazing short-term results, but the problem is sustainability. Once you feel you've "failed" the diet, you often revert to old habits. As Tony Robbins wisely said, "We are a reflection of our habits."



Navigating Challenges as a Parent and 9-5 Worker


As a parent with a 9-5 job, I understand the challenges you face. Saying "no" to family meals or dealing with puzzled looks from loved ones can be tough. But I've been there, and I've learned how to overcome these obstacles. The shift from "I can't have that" to "I don't want that" was a game-changer for me, and I can help you make the same shift.


Weightlifting and Running: A Dynamic Duo


Weightlifting became my companion on this journey. It wasn't just about shedding pounds; it was about building a stronger, healthier body. I delved into the world of biomechanics, realizing the significance of weightlifting in supporting my running journey. Squats and deadlifts not only made me stronger but also improved my running mechanics and reduced injuries.



Listening to Your Body


One key lesson I learned was to listen to my body. It's a slow process, and it's crucial to tune in to what your body is telling you. Biomarkers such as sleep quality, digestion, mood, and even how your clothes fit can be more telling than the number on the scale.


Coaching Approach


As your coach, I'm here to guide you, just like a Sherpa leading the way up Everest. We'll start by assessing your metabolism and determining your metabolic rate. We'll make protein a cornerstone of your diet, focusing on whole, animal sources. I'll help you set achievable goals and create personalized plans that fit your lifestyle, ensuring progress without overwhelming change.


Small, sustainable changes, rather than drastic shifts, will be our strategy. Non-negotiable daily habits will keep you on track, no matter how busy life gets.


Conclusion: Your Journey Begins Here


If you're a parent with a 9-5 job, know that I've been in your shoes. I've faced the same challenges and found the path to lasting change. Your fitness journey might be slow, but it's filled with permanent results. Think of me as your Sherpa on this ascent to your ideal weight, guiding you every step of the way.

SLEEP

 L ights out, it is bedtime?  I use this one most nights with my youngest. Sleep is the inevitable function everyone has to go through or die. Sleep is complicated, as far as what is happening while we sleep, detoxifying the brain, moving short-term to long-term memories, body restoration, etc. We will focus on using it as our base to perform better at work, the gym, and in our household.  How many times did you have a poor night's sleep, and the next day you were short-tempered, hungry, higher stressed, and ended up getting over-caffeinated? Count me in!  It is unfortunate how a poor night's sleep will significantly affect the rest of the day. This is how vital sleep quantity and quality has in our day-to-day lives.  There are some of the biological effects of a reasonable quantity and quality sleep has: Prevents weight gain Improve your immune system Direct impact on your mood Improves exercise performance Better memory Sleep is something we expect t...

METABOLISM

Metabolic rate is a measure of the amount of energy (in the form of calories) that your body uses to perform essential functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and maintaining body temperature. Your metabolic rate is influenced by factors such as your age, sex, weight, and height, as well as your activity level and diet. Metabolism can be thought of as the "engine" that powers your body. Just like an engine converts fuel (such as gasoline) into energy to power a car, your body converts the food you eat and the beverages you drink into energy through the process of metabolism. Your metabolism is responsible for converting the nutrients in the food you eat into energy that your body can use to function. It also helps your body break down and eliminate waste products. Just like an engine needs a certain amount of fuel to run properly, your body needs a certain amount of calories to maintain optimal functioning. If you consume too few calories, your body may not have enoug...
