I've lost significant weight in my life a few times; both deliberately through calorie counting, and involuntarily because of health problems. Toward the end of 2019 I noticed that my eating habits were not aligned with my fitness goals, and I felt uncomfortable in my usual clothes.
Calorie counting with the help of a free app helped me track what I was eating but I didn't see results, which would cause me to feel hopeless and give up on the effort in the short term, before deciding I had enough and giving myself a new start.
This cycle was frustrating and I knew I needed something different. Internet research led me to the concept of tracking macros as well as the existence of online coaching.
“Working with Bonnie the past 10 months has been a game changer. ”
I learned so much about the way my body uses macronutrients and a natural consequence of that journey has been a shift towards eating lots of whole, minimally processed foods.
Bonnie's coaching style is judgement-free and encouraging; she's talked me back to reality a few times when I'd been upset at not seeing the results I'd expected to see.
While I agonized over day-to-day fluctuations - against Coach's instructions, mind you! - Bonnie kept her eye on the bigger picture and was able to guide me toward my goals.
I lost about 30 pounds during our time together and I increased my sports conditioning significantly. Most importantly my overall relationship with food has changed for the better. Working with Bonnie is the best investment I've ever made in my health.
