It's Been Awhile....Nashville trip and so much more!

Where to start....Nashville was amazing, inspiring, emotional and educational.  It was like nothing I had ever experienced.  There were 3000 people, who have been or are currently on their journey to optimal health, all in one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever seen.  I was inspired to continue to succeed on my journey to optimal health, and to help others succeed on their journeys as well.  I met my beautiful coach and several of the other coaches on my team, went to the Grand Ole Opry, and took my certification course to become a Certified Health Coach.  So without further adieu, it's time for a picture overload!

The hotel, Gaylord Opry Land & Convention Center was amazing
 

I received my Health Coach Certification from Villanova University
 
 
Truly a once in a lifetime experience
 
 
Ollin - To move and act with all your heart.  It means to follow your path in life wholeheartedly.  To experience Ollin, we have to get "All In."
 
I'm Ollin.  The "O" in Discovery, which was on stage during the convention, represented this.  You have to be "All In" when you choose to embark on your path to Optimal Health.  Everyone at the convention was given an opportunity to autograph the "O." And just so you all know that I am "All In" here is a photo showing what I weighed as of Sunday, August 4th.


I have lost 30lbs or 10% of my body fat.  I'm pretty excited about this.  I still have a long way to go, but I will get there.  I went off plan this last weekend as we celebrated my sisters marriage, and boy did I realize I really do not like the way I feel when I am not eating healthy or drinking enough water.  I was happy to experience this as it just helped to solidify why I decided to start this journey back in May. 

I am eager to help others on their journey. Upon my return from Nashville,  I had an opportunity to share information with interested individuals during our local town celebration, Daly Days! I set up a fun display table and offered a couple of giveaways!  I pray that those who are ready will find me somehow.  It has been such a life changing opportunity for me, and I would love for others to experience the joy, happiness, health and confidence offered through Take Shape For Life.


I will end here for the day.  Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read my blog.  Whether we have met or not, your support means a lot to me and is helping me more than you know.

  1. Congratulations on losing 30lbs! That's incredible. I LOVE that you are still on the journey and yet are being a health coach. I know for me that I feel like I have to already be at the finish line but why not all be on the journey together and help each other along the way!?! You're SUCH an incredible example!! I'm glad you were able to go to Nashville for that convention. What a blast that must have been! :-D

  2. Lisa...I wasn't sure about coaching either since I was so new to the program and still have a ways to go, but I found it is helping me to be more accountable. Plus, I am taking the time to learn so much more than when I was just a client, working to really understand our bodies and why it is so important to keep it healthy! Nashville was incredible, if you ever get an opportunity to go to a convention...GO!! It is so worth it!
