It's Time to Hit the Reset Button- Coach Cass
Where do I go from here? This is a question I have been asking myself a lot lately. The time has come in my life to hit the reset button. I have let life take over in so many areas of my life that I don't recognize who I am anymore. This journey is not going to be easy, but I have decided to take it and bring you along for the ride. It is a journey of taking back my health and my life. Where to begin? I suppose I should maybe introduce myself to you, bring you up to speed on who I am and how I got here.
I am Cass or Coach Cass, half of the members of this journey that is being shared with you. I am a single mother of two beautiful children: a 9 year old son (Z) and a 3 year old daughter (E). I'm sure you will encounter tales of the two of them through this journey. I work in the fitness industry as a Corporate Wellness Coach/Director. My job is to help other people live healthy an vibrant lives. I live to help others. In that pursuit, I have let life take over and put myself on the back burner yet again. I know many of us out there are really good at doing just that. I am sharing this journey with you in hopes that it may help someone out there to know they are not alone. If I can do this, so can you! May sound corny, but there it is.
I work full time and understand the pressures of work, kids, friends, family, and trying to live healthy. It can all become a jumbled mess at times. I have found that leaving and starting over is tough, but worth it. We will go back 15 months to when I made a decision to start a large part of my life over. I made the decision to become single after over 12 years of marriage. The last 15 months of life have been a rollercoaster and instead of taking control and continuing to work towards my goals, I went a bit off track. I gained weight, my workouts became quite lack-luster, and my nutrition became less than stellar. I gave up on areas of my life that were (and are) very important to me. It is now time to get those areas back on track. Over the next several months I will share this journey with you. This journey is both a physical and emotional journey. Getting a healthy lifestyle on track or back on track is never easy.
The other half of this journey, Trainer Ben, is one of my best friends. He is more like a brother than a friend, really. He challenged me to take this journey and start over. We both need to for very different reasons. In understanding that life can throw curveballs, we want people to see that you can always choose to hit that reset button and begin again. Starting over means picking up and starting fresh where you are at in life at this moment. Always taking steps to keep moving forward!
Every journey we take begins with one step. We simply have to put one foot in front of the other to reach our goals and destinations in life. Sounds easy, but we know that it isn’t always that easy. In fact, I know it's going to be hard. There are going to be days when I am not going to want to work out or eat healthy or do what I need to be emotionally strong. I, as many, have tried time and again to accomplish my goals only to feel like I am falling short or failing each time. It’s only failure if I don’t learn from it and don’t continue to move forward.

I know it can seem scary to start something new or to start
over again. I am terrified of not succeeding. I am making this public which is really scary. If I don't succeed, you will all know it. That first step on a new journey can be a big
one, like taking a big, flying leap.
What if taking that big leap could set you on the path to soaring? What if that taking the leap this time leads
to the success you have dreamed of?
There are going to be bumps along the way causing me to question continuing moving forward, but trust me, overcoming them is going to be worth it. Those bumps and hurdles along the journey are going to help me grow and become stronger so I can reach new heights and have the strength to go even further. It is in the struggles that we get to know ourselves and our limitations.
I invite, and would love, for you to join me on this journey!
