In late October A Fab U asked me to be on her radio on show.. If

I went into more detail about some of the question I was asked
below.. it was my first radio show and I was so scared I forgot to say a lot of
things I wanted to say... So below are the things I wish I would have said or could
have said…
Radio show question
1) Explain to those that
may not know what it is that you do exactly?
I call myself a life coach. I have certification in Personal
training, weight
loss nutrition, and I'm currently working on a sport nutrition
certification. I
also create pre-pack juicing bags. I want to give anyone the
power to get
healthy. On my weight loss journey I started out with a trainer.
My family had a
dramatic financial issue and I could no longer afford a trainer.
I could not
find anyone to help me or even give me guidance for free, so I
knew the only person that
would train me for free was Me. So I got educated. So now I want
to be that
person for the next person. If someone needs help I can be there
for them.
2) What do you charge for
your services?
To personal train I charge 5 dollars. To teach a person how to
create a meal
plan I charge 10. And to create a 1 a day pre-pack juice bag for
7 day its
starts at $60. But always willing to help for free.
3) How important do you
think it is to be healthy body wise?
I think its very important. When you are mentally physically and
emotionally healthy I think
it will help you balance out every aspect of your life.
4) Your weight loss
journey was a rollercoaster in the
beginning. Why do you
think it was hard for you to stick to it? And, what advice would you give to
listeners that are struggling with losing & gaining back
weight?
I was going about it all wrong!! Is the biggest thing. I wasn't
educate going in
to any of my dieting phase. I wanted something quick and fast.
So I would go to
the diet doctor the weight loss program. I was not teaching
myself smart
planning discipline. I wasn’t teaching myself a lifestyle change,
just a for the
moment change.
I would tell anyone out there you have to find a connection with
the reason why
you need to get healthy. Teach yourself that this will have to
be a life long
decision . Know that the road is tough and it will never end.
You have to get
out of the I need to loss weight mind frame. And say I want to
get healthy. When
you get healthy, and active the weight will come off.
5) How important would
you say it is to have a plan and not to just wing it?
Being prepare is the number one key to being successful in any
journey in your
life. If you have a plan of attack in place its less likely to
make poor choice.
6) Do you think a
person’s weight affects their self-esteem or is it all
mental?
I think it plays a role with some not all. But that's the first
thing I tell
people. You have to love and except you just the way to are at
your starting
weight because if you don't you will see that same person at
your goal weight.
Always wanting to lose more always finding flaws in yourself.
7) What inspired and
motivated you to want to reach out and help others?
Like I said I was a person that need and wanted to lose weight I
didn't have
anyone to help and motivate me. I see a lot of friends that
needed what I had to
offer. But I couldn't get them to join. So I extended my
services to other and I
fell in love with helping others.
8) What is your ultimate
goal with @Home with A. Hunt, what would you like to
see it become?
I want to teach families to get healthy at home! This is where
it all starts. If
You’re a women or man with a family on the road to get healthy
if the whole family
is not on board you will not be as successful. I want to change
the family trees
of African Americans. I want the next generation to have a
different idea of
soul food. Food that can help the soul and not block your heart.
I want to teach
our youth how to be healthy how to create there own school lunch
show them a
work out routine to do before or after school to create mental
clarity. The gym
doesn't create a healthy happy person. It all starts at home.
And I want to be
apart of a family success.
9) Did you have a lot of
people supporting you on your journey?
How did that
help or hinder you?
No I didn't but that was my personal preference. The first 3
month of my healthy
journey. I did it on my own with only my husband and kids
backing me. I didn't
have any friend that were mentally were I was. And to avoid
making bad choices I
stayed away until I was strong enough to hang out with out
ruining my progress..
10) What advice would you
give someone who’s having a hard time getting
starting with their goal to lose weight?
Evaluate the importance of what you’re doing. Find passion in
journey. You have to
find your why (the reason need to make a change) and remind
yourself every day.
Take the steps..step one find your why. Step two evaluate the
roads: road a if
you continue to live the way u are now what's at the end of the
road? Road b if
u make this change what's at the end of that road? Step 3 take
action with the
road you choose and find happiness with it, and create a plan of
attack. And always be
open to reevaluate. Know that with any road you choose it will
be tough but you
are tougher, SO fight until u get to the next fork in the road.
Because
there’s no finish line..
Changing your food habits is tough and to me I think its a
process a diet that
works for one person might not work for another. I wouldn’t be
successful on a no carb
diet and someone else maybe they would be everyone is different.
I have to ask
so many question when I create a meal plan and then take it week
by week. You
just have to find what food make you happy and healthy.
11) Would you say that
losing weight is something that you need to do for
yourself and not to please others?
Of course any change you make if its not a change your making
for you it will
not make you happy and you will not stick to it.
12) Do you ever have a
cheat day?
Yes ma'am I do!! And I enjoy those moments. But I cheat smart
and in moderation.
And I plan for my cheat day. And continue to work hard after it.
14) How can people get in
touch with you or find out more about what you do? I
have a facebook page. Facebook.com/homewithahunt. Follow me on
twitter

15) Any closing words?
Just remember happiness is key to a healthier you. Slow down and
listen to your
body it has a lot to say if you just take a moment to listen.
And always smile
its good for your health! Thank u!!
So there you go!! :)
