10 Reasons You May Need a Wellness Coach

10 Reasons You May Need a Wellness Coach

You have unfulfilled goals & lack results.
If you have tried health club/gym memberships and personal trainers but lack the results you set out to achieve, it may be time to use a Wellness Coach. Wellness Coaching helps you get clear about what you want, helps you establish a path to get there and holds you accountable for weekly goals towards the bigger picture every week. Remember it’s hard to hit a target that you can’t see.

You don’t know how to get started.
If you feel unsure of what to do next and how to do it, a coach will help you focus, clarify and initiate small steps toward your long term goal.

You go from one new diet or product to the next.
Wellness Coaching will help you find your own answers to achieving wellness and assess how well diets and products are working for you.

You are unaware of the strategies you own to conquer your goals.
During coaching you will establish a wellness vision, 3 month goal and weekly goals. Coaching helps to predict possible obstacles that may arise or that already exist that will interfere with reaching your goals. These obstacles will be countered by strategies you identify to overcome the obstacles to further ensure your chances of obtaining your goals.

You need a change in your behavior.
Working with a coach gives you the opportunity to acknowledge your behavior and determine whether your behavior is consistent with reaching your goals. Only you can truly say whether that behavior is helping or hindering you. Only you can decide what you want to do about it. Coaching holds you accountable to doing the work of modifying your behavior so that it’s in line with your wellness vision and goals.

You need and want wellness in your life.
Your first step will be to establish your wellness vision. You’ll decide what wellness looks like, feels like and how you will benefit from it. Coaching helps you get clear on the big picture and your answers to your challenges with fitness, weight management, nutrition and stress management.

Life is too stressful for you.
Do you need more techniques to reduce stress in your life? Wellness Coaching can assist you in identifying the sources of stress and what strategies you currently possess to lessen and prevent stress in your life so that you can reach your optimal state of wellness.

You need to take control of your health.
Do you deserve optimal health or has this been an elusive distant goal? Coaching will assist your work in 4 areas: stress management, nutrition, fitness and weight management. By establishing and achieving goals in these areas, coaching will help you live your wellness vision.

You need someone to listen to you.
Do you feel unheard? Did you accomplish what your trainer wanted but not exactly what you wanted? Wellness Coaching helps you bridge the great divide from where you are to where you ultimately want to be. Reduce feelings of being overwhelmed by an information overload and the numerous paths available towards wellness. Get a sounding board so you can find out what’s right for you with Wellness Coaching.

You know how to exercise but yet you still fall short of reaching your goals.
If you are an experienced exerciser with a love- hate relationship with the gym because you never seem to reach your goals, Wellness Coaching may be a solution. If you’ve failed to reach your goals while going to the gym and performing your exercise program, then it may be that it’s more than the physical work that needs to be done in order for you to realize your fitness goals. Wellness Coaching will provide expertise coupled with a sounding board to assist you in making the best decisions for yourself to bring your goals within reach.

BEING FIT FOR YOU

BEING FIT FOR YOU

Lisa cares for 2 young children, her husband and helps her mom. She’s overwhelmed, over stimulated and exhausted. Does this sound like you? If it does, you probably already know the detrimental effects of too little exercise, poor self-care and too much stress. But,what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do for you?

Limited time to exercise and limited” mommy-time” increases your stress. This can increase your blood pressure, fatigue, contribute to depression and decrease your immune system.

Taking even a few minutes for yourself without the kids or anyone else, no matter how daunting the logistics involved with making it happen, may be just what you need. Give yourself permission to take time for yourself to regain good feelings and get some exercise. Being fit and feeling better helps you to be a better parent. Exercise helps to increase energy, release endorphins (hormones that produce feelings of euphoria) and increase your strength and stamina. You’ll need all of your energy and strength to tolerate the rigors of family life and scale the wall to pull little Johnny down from the ceiling beams.

Capitalize on schedule breaks and find stolen moments to practice deep breathing exercises. Perform some basic stretches to relieve tight muscles. Target your chest by reaching your arms out to the side and slightly backwards. Hold for 20-30 seconds and repeat 3-5 times. Go for a short brisk walk to escape, burn calories and improve your cardiorespiratory endurance. Take the stairs whenever possible to increase your activity and get away. Engage in positive self-talk and avoid self-defeating messages which focus on a lack of energy, resources or time. A positive focus will support a healthy mind and spirit.

If you knew what you know now about your current state of physical, mental and spiritual wellness, would you hire yourself to drive your kids around, make family decisions and interact with your kids? If the answer is yes, stay fit. If your answer is anything other than a firm yes, get fit. Start today with small steps. It takes a whole healthy person to do your job.

A taste test of PurFoods Fitness meals

I recently had the opportunity to sample several meals from Purfoods Fitness and experience the delivery system. Hopefully this information will be helpful to those of you needing support in getting healthy meals that taste great but are designed to help you achieve your or your client's fitness and wellness goals.

Now for those that don't know me it's huge that I could find something to eat that I wasn't allergic to and also liked. So that should tell you a lot right there.

First, the food was shipped and arrived in 48 hours. It came in what was like a mini-refrigerator, a large styrofoam cooler packed with frozen cool packs with all of the meals contained in a separate plastic bag. This cooler was then enclosed in a large cardboard box clearly labeled perishable and which way to open the box. Each meal was contained in a plastic container with each food item in a separate compartment in the container, which was sealed and then had an additional lid on it as well. I felt eco friendly being able to recycle all of the plastic.

Ok now for the taste test! I tried the turkey quesadilla. It came with a large wheat flour tortilla, salsa, shredded cheese(which actually melted) which had some taste and large pieces of turkey. I felt the meat serving was appropriate and yet generous at the same time. Much to my surprise it was seasoned and not bland. I actually had it for dinner even though I think it was really a lunch item. On a hungry night at the end of the week battling fatigue I would not have had one complaint about that meal. It was just too easy. By the way the tortilla was big!

I also tried the Tomato Bruschetta. Now, I've had my share of bruschetta so I'm fairly experienced. I would put this on a weekly rotation. What a wonderful surprise to find that the bread wasn't white and the cheese actually melted. The bread (3 slices baguette size) was great and not hard. Honestly, I was craving for more bread. The tomatoes were contained separately, and had awesome taste. I didn't leave a crumb for anyone!

The Hoisin Chicken was a basic chicken breast that wasn't out of the "easy bake oven". The rice noodles were fine but I honestly could have used more. The sauce was good. I had it for dinner and again I had no significant complaints. The chicken was seasoned but I don't remember as much flavor as with the turkey in the quesadilla. Oh, the apple compote, was like a scalloped apple dish that was very yummy!

I also got the Grilled Chicken Caesar salad. OK, yes, it was a safety item but if this could be messed up I would not have had much hope for the rest of their menu. It was perfectly fine although the croutons were a little skimpy, probably for good reason. The chicken was actually a sliced breast that was seasoned. The cheese and dressing were good and I didn't run short on them. It was simply too easy-fresh, delivered, appropriately portioned and professionally prepared and nutritionally sound without sacrificing taste.

My only word of advice is you should eat all of the fresh meals first as they REALLY REALLY REALLY are fresh without preservatives. I delayed some of my meals and found my tomatoes and lettuce were a bit limp but I was still able to enjoy it anyway. The food really is fresh and a great way to learn portions, get assistance with your nutrition or just have it completely done for you for the short term during busy times or for the long run.

So, basically I liked the food and would recommend it. Use Purfoods Fitness to enjoy your nutritional experience while you achieve your fitness, weight loss and wellness goals. The link to Purfoods is below if you would like to explore the meal options or introduce them to your clients.
