Some of you may know that my friend, Kristi Youngdahl, holds Health and Wellness Seminars locally here in Minnesota; she is a trainer, fitness model and speaker. Kristi speaks about her weight loss journey that started 10 years ago which released more than 85 pounds. Also, she helps to empower women by teaching them how to value themselves, feel important and to put themselves first. Kristi also teaches tips on clean eating and talks about Isagenix.
Last August, Kristi had a chance to meet with a few heart touching people from Texas but only for a few minutes. I had not had the opportunity to meet any of them but after hearing about a few of their amazing journeys, it was decided that Kristi and I would be making a trip! We were hitting the road and heading to Texas to hold seminars as well as a boot camp! We planned for flying down mid-October.
During our planning, Kristi had asked me to speak about Clean Eating, being one of her clean eat coaches, I was excited but scared all at the same time. We all have a bucket list, and this has been on mine for a while now. I knew I would have to get out of my comfort zone to do this but, that is the great part of our journey! Sunday was the last day of our weekend in Texas and I couldn’t have felt better; I felt amazing! I was so glad I pushed myself to get out of my box and finally speak at a seminar. This was the beginning of my speaking experience with many more to come.
As I mentioned, we held seminars and a boot camp, in addition to this, we coached a few empowering life activities. When I named my wellness company, “Jump on my Journey”, it because life for me is not about hitting the gym to get in a smaller size jeans. That’s just a “DIET” and I wanted a life style! It’s about valuing ourselves, being first in our own life, learning about the food we put into our bodies, as well as putting ourself around positive and uplifting people. In Texas, they participated in these activities which are a memorable part of their Journey and I was so proud to be apart of this with my new Texas friends!
As this amazing weekend came to an end, I left with something completely different that I thought I would. I left knowing I had great friends in Texas and my heart was full from being around such driven and kind people. It was so inspiring to be around men and women who have such a burning desire to have a healthy and balanced life. I know Kristi and I will be back in Texas in the future. In the meantime, I am excited to hear updates on their journey!
Hey ya’ll, thank you for letting Kristi and I be apart of your Journey!
