Third Time is a Charm - OCTOBER CHALLENGE

I am saying goodbye to "journeytofabulousat40" because this month I turn 41, and my focus, goals, and intention are different.  I am blasting off "coachyulia" by doing my own OCTOBER CHALLENGE on myself, and would love for everyone to join me.

I had two other times in my life where I lost a significant amount of weight and got in the best shape of my life, this time its for keeps.  I have been blessed with good genes and health, Thank God, but as we age, if we do not do preventive maintenance, and go through the joys of pregnancy and birth, things change, they just do.  All we can ever do is be our best NOW, feel your best NOW, achieve and exude the feeling of FIT FOR LIFE.   My Herbalife Nutrition Program has done so much for my energy and health, but now I am ready to add the workout full on, its only by combining Nutrition and Exercise can you achieve your ultimate.

When I started working on cruise ships at 24 years old, I was in decent shape mostly from good genes and just being an active person and eating healthy because I liked it.  I participated in sports but do not consider myself an athlete, just a person that likes to be fit and healthy.  I respect my fellow coaches so much in their athletic endeavours, who knows, I may get the calling one day, but for now I just want to look as good as I feel.

1.  So after working on cruise ships for three years, I was much "curvier" than usual, and decided to do what everyone was doing at the time, Atkin's for a month.  I lost 20 pounds, was very happy, but now in hindsight, its what we call skinny fat, no muscle tone, and potential health problems, not firm just thin.

2.  At 27 I moved to Los Angeles, and by a stroke of luck and following my gut started working at 24 Hour Fitness, where I met my Yoga teacher and found Bodypump, a low weight, high repetition amazing full body workout.  I got so lean, so firm, and going into my 30's was the best I had ever been, I looked good my friends :)

Everyone's story is different, everyone's timing and readiness is different, everyone's situation is different, you got to find what fits YOU.  I am committed to be FIT FOR LIFE, that is my motto, my vision, and my message.  What can you do to incorporate taking care of you, a bit of fitness, a bit of nutrition, little by little, or play full out, its up to you.

I'm ready to play,
