Coach 14: Kristin Hartmann Burda

I have known Kristin since kindergarten.  She is Kristin Beth, I am Kristin Elizabeth.  We were born 2 days apart (I'm older).  My brother is 2 days older than her sister.  (Then my mom had a 3rd and her's stopped).  We have grown up so much together and learned so many important lessons over the years.  Our childhood was very active with swimming, biking, climbing trees, sleepovers, etc.  Every summer we went to camp for a week away from our families where we found independence.  We didn't always attend the same school but our lives have stayed very much intertwined and now we are both in Chicago (well she is in the suburbs but close enough).  Kristin & I have in the past done weight watchers together and therefore I was excited to ask her to be my coach because she knows what it is like to make healthy decisions. 

Kristin offered a lot of support during her weeks as my coach.  There were cold winter days where I didn't want to get off the coach and she said just go walk around the block.  And before I knew it I had exercised for 30 minutes.  She pushed me when I needed it.  And I enjoyed texting and pushing her to get in her weekly work out.  Thank you!!!
