Where’s the best place for listeners to connect with you?: Instagram @curtiscoe40

What’s one habit you do almost daily?: Try and take some quite time to clear my head. Makes for a great start to my day or good relaxer at night.

What’s one of your normal routines?: Walking. Especially now during the pandemic. Gyms are still closed where I am so getting out and moving is key.

How long did it take for the above routine to stick? : A little bit. Sometimes I still struggle with it. I’d say it was 6 months or so into my journey before it was a regular thing.

Describe your weight loss journey.: Difficult, highs and lows, long, still in progress. I think it will be a life long journey. Not necessarily losing weight all my life but to make sure I stay on track once I lose the weight I want to lose.

What’s a skill you developed as a result of working through your weight loss journey?: Communicating my problems or what I’m going through with my inner circle. Very outgoing but I’m also a very private person, especially when it comes to struggles in my life.

What has that skill led to outside of weight loss?: Gaining a deeper more meaningful relationship with my friends and family. We were relatively close but this has brought us closer for sure. Also just reaching out to others and having them reach out to me and not being ashamed of what I’ve gone through.

What have you learned about yourself over the last year or so?: That I can do anything I set my mind to.

What advice would you give to someone working through their weight loss journey?: Stick to it. I don’t think there is one person out there that hasn’t gotten stalled out or frustrated. Also don’t be afraid to change things up. Change a workout, eating habit, whatever to change the monotonous routines we get ourselves in.

What resources would you recommend listeners check out?: For me it was people on Instagram and listening to podcasts. Also started reading more about the lifestyle I’ve chosen. Those would be my words to someone just starting out or wanting to do something different

What are you working on now?: My mind. It’s all Mind over matter right? Just always trying to train my mind to create better habits to create a better future.

YLF 128: Getting to know Amy

‘I give myself grace. There are so many fad diets out there and not all of them are good for everyone especially someone like me who is a cancer survivor. I'm still learning about how different kinds of foods affect my body, what to eliminate especially before I run. Second, I think in order to live a healthy lifestyle, you need to have a balance of eating healthy, splurging on special occasions as long as it's not most days, but most importantly realize that what I eat and drink will impact my performance. Third, in order for me to be my best self, cardio needs to be incorporated at least 3 days a week as well as a day of yoga. Since having breast cancer, my bones have become brittle. I have learned that I need to incorporate strength training into my days as well. Last, I also know not to be too hard on myself if I've eaten poorly some days. I just decide to do better the next time and remember what my goal is as what I put in my body and how often I do the exercises I do will either help me reach it or keep me back.”
