Hi! I'm Coach Cat 🙋🏼‍♀️ This wasn't in my plan. It "just kind of happened" by opening one of those doors of opportunity 🙂 For the new folks around here, I have been a nurse forever and absolutely LOVE my geriatric crowd. Their wrinkles & wisdom, dentures, & old person smell. I can't get enough! ❤ They are as magical as newborns. One day I found myself in a job that was part nurse & part cheerleader. I was motivating seniors to make changes to their lifestyle for better health. - But I didn't feel good about pushing them to eat healthy & use Silver Sneakers when I wasn't really doing those things myself. I was just coasting along relying on my youth (it's relative 😊). So I started walking the talk. I mean, if I'm going to ask an 80 year old to start building strength with chair exercises then I better be doing some exercise myself, you know 🤷‍♀️ So that's what brings me here. Not to be Miss Bossy Pants, but to help people live better and hopefully go into their geriatric years strong with healthy habits so they can enjoy those Golden Years. Therefore, I give you Step Three... 3. Cut Dairy Please dont throw things at me because, yes, that includes cheese 😐 Turns out cow milk was created for baby cows, not humans. You don't have to take my word for it. The research is out there. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn - good places to start. The nutrients found in milk can easily be picked up from other sources. Never under estimate the power of the dairy industry - they have led us all to believe that if we ain't Got Milk then we need to get some. I'm not saying never drink milk again or never eat ice cream for the rest of your life. I'm saying pay attention and cut it back. If you are like most Americans you can cut it waaaaaay back. OR... you can dump it all together. You don't need milk to live. Period. End of story. I'm going to shut up now and not say any more about it 😀 #cat #CoachCat #old #young #years #celebrate #milk #dairy #gotmilk #gold #golden #coach #coaching #lifecoach #nurse #geriatric #people #nutrition #eathealthy

Leadership is about caring. . . I've had the opportunity to work with some remarkable managers who totally understand this. They care enough about their team and their product or service to get to know what everyone needs - Both employees and clients. . . In taking time to listen and care about the needs they are able to offer support that allows their people to grow and do their best work with everyone drawing on their strengths. . . #leadership #caring #contributetrustimagine #mindset #hustle #leader #mentor #alwayslearning #dreambig #strength

Meow. Mew. Meow. Happy Friday! #allyouneedisloveandacat #Friday #catsofinstagram

😊 . . All Aboard!!! Train is coming people. Are you ready to climb on board? Nutrition is the hardest part for most people so I am serving it up in Bite Size pieces. . . Step two... Eat appropriate portion sizes. Portion sizes have Exploded over the years! Look at nutrition labels when available. If you are in one of my programs using whole food nutrition we cover portion sizes. If you aren't working with me, but would like some guidance, click on the link in my bio. I've added a link to a NIH pdf visual. Our tax dollars at work people 😀 Stay tuned for Step Three... . . . #train #nutrition #wholefoodnutrition #transform #transformyourlife #healthyhabits #healthy #dontforgetyourvegetables #portion #mealprep #bitesizepieces #nutritioninbitesizepieces

Let you joy bubble up, Express it, Share it! 😊 It's all about location, location, location In your mind. If you find yourself struggling Ask yourself, "In this Now Moment, where am I?" ❔ This simple question can begin a great conversation. Here's how it was presented to me... Draw a horizontal line across a piece of paper.✏ If your location is above the line you are open and curious - committed to learning. If your location is below the line you are closed and defensive - committed to being right. At any moment we are each either above or below the line. Our location is a reflection of how we are dealing with what life is dishing up for us at that moment. Telling yourself the truth about your location is key in moving forward constructively. If you find yourself below the line - don't despair! It's perfectly natural to go there because our brains are hardwired to go below the line. Our brains are programmed to detect any threat to our survival. This makes us go into defense mode. We think there is not enough. Not enough money. Not enough time. Not enough space, energy, or love. So we start behaving by cliging to our opinions, finding fault, blaming, gossoping, explaining, justifying. We avoid conflict. Or sometimes we'll pursue conflict just so we can be right & win. In that situation, the best thing we can do is start Imagining the people around us and our circumstances are friends - set before us as an opportunity for growth. Start believing learning and growing are more important than being right. This brings us above the line so we can Listen Deeply. Speak unarguably. Question our beliefs. Look at the comical side. Life a Life Of Play. We cant Thrive and Flourish when we are below the line in survival mode. In order to be in a brain state of high creativity, collaboration, connection, and innovation we have to get beyond just-trying-to-survive-and-maintain mode to Above the Line. So if you find yourself on the struggle bus ask yourself, "Where am I?" How can I be a joy contributor in this situation? #mindfulness #stayabovetheline #contribute #contributetrustimagine #joy #curiosity #imagine #contributejoy #CoachCat #opentogrowth #healthy

Don't dabble around. Pick a program. Do. It. Start! To! Finish! Do it with confidence. No excuses. Trust the process. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but the workout part is the fun part. Even though it's hard. It's fun to challenge yourself and be rewarded with that endorphin high. It's the nutrition piece that is harder for most people. And it's more important for health. So I'm going to take some time to break it into bite size pieces 😊 Step number one✏ Cut sugar. Easiest spot for me to do this is beverages. Water is practically free in the USA and it's sugarfree. If I get bored with plain water most often I add lemon. Some peole might say I'm obsessed with lemon. Any citrus in water works for me. Occasionally I might infuse it with apple or cucumber. If I'm hydrated my skin is happy, I focus better, sleep better, - ...so many benefits. Other than water, I usually have unsweetened tea or coffee. Another good place I cut sugar is breakfast. Donuts, muffins, & danish are great for a celebration, but not for everday. Mostly I eat oatmeal, eggs, frittatas, fruit - or low sugar muffins I make myself so I know what's in them. And of course there's always the Superfood Smoothie option :D Stay tuned for step two... We are wrapping up the last 21 days of Tis The Season To Be Awesome. Watch for new online bootcamp group starting toward the end of January. Message me if it sounds like something you would be interested in. #water #lemon #yougotthis #sugarfreelife #mealprep #yellow #trusttheprocess #waternotsoda #behealthy #healthy
