I lost 20 lbs., reduced the swelling in my leg and ankles, lowered my blood sugar's from 12 to 6.5, reduced cravings and emotional mood swings, and all within one week, while being coached by Annette.
What happened was at the beginning of this year I was diagnosed by my doctor as being on the verge of diabetes.....he told me to begin thinking in terms of being diabetic.....and that I needed to lose weight and eat more healthy. I didn't know anything about diabetes.
I met Annette in my mastermind group and she offered to coach me. I knew that Annette was doing coaching around health related issues and that she had years of experience in health food stores......what I didn't know was that she had been coaching her own son through his diabetes for about six years.
She quickly began to educate both me and my wife, Kelly.
Annette then advised me to go to my local pharmacy and pick up a blood testing kit. I began to monitor my bloodsugars and found that they were consistently high, in the range of about 8.5 and at times they were well over 12.0!
She then made suggestions about my diet and also suggested some nautural products that would help stabilize my bloodsugars and reduce my cravings.
I trusted Annette and her coaching was easy to integrate into my life.
Within 1 WEEK, my bloodsugars had dropped into the 6.0 to 6.5 range and there were instances when it was even in the 5.5 range.
Further to this, the swelling in my right foot, ankle and leg diminished considerably....like magic. I virtually have no swelling at all now, unless I slip off my healthy eating plan (which she helped me develop) or if I overexert myself at work. Needless to say, my energy levels increased and I found myself much more productive at my business, and I have effortlessly lost about twenrty pounds.
And, another huge bonus was the stabilizing of my emotional health. My moodswings all but vanished.....no more "growlies".....my irritability and short temper quickly levelled off and my wife finds me much easier to be around. Its really nice to know that all of these conditions were basically a result of my bloodsugars, so, as a consequence, I feel much better about me.
In reflection: weight loss, increased energy, stabilized mood swings, improved self esteem, balanced bloodsugars, healthy diet. LIfe is good.
