Coach Pound 3: Lee Ann

I met Lee Ann my freshman year of college - her sophomore year. We were both on the Miami Precision (Synchronized) Skating Team. During our years at college we went from acquaintances to best friends. I will never forget many, many hours spent in the Keg Room of King Library (the basement of our school library where there was no key but it felt like a party) talking about life and staring at the hot boys. And then there was all the times traveling the globe for skating (including an unforgettable trip to Rome). Since college Lee Ann and I have grown to become sisters. We inspire each other, make fun of each other, support one another and call bullshit when appropriate. I added her to my list of Coaches because she is always pushing me to be the best I can be.

Over the past two years Lee Ann & I discovered a place like Health Heaven on Earth. It is called Hilton Head Health (check it out: http://www.hhhealth.com/) and there we re-learned a lot of tricks to being healthy. I hope in this coaching session Lee Ann will remind me of those and how simple it can be to live a healthy lifestyle. At H3 I was also introduced to Yoga. I have finally found my inner Yogi in Chicago. I practice at Spring (http://www.springwellnesschicago.com/) and LOVE it. It brings calm to a hectic day but my instructor continuously kicks my butt.

Thanks for always being there for me Lee Ann. I know it won't end at 1 pound.
