At nearly 56, I'm celebrating being in the best physical and mental shape I've been in for decades. I'm strong! I started weight training last summer, and after six to seven months of consistent workouts and walking, I've seen some results. My visceral fat dropped by 2%, and I lost 4 pounds. Yes, that’s good, but I wasn't seeing the external changes I hoped for. My strength was increasing, but my waistline wasn't shrinking. Was it menopause or just poor eating habits? I decided it was time for a change. https://www.amyedwardscoaching.com/blog/singing-again-how-i-silenced-my-inner-judge-and-embraced-my-inner-knowing-sk358 monthly 0.5 2024-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450726010-F3MO9CCRDZHO5CY87K2E/IMG_1587.jpg Blog - "Singing Again: How I Silenced My Inner Judge and Embraced My Inner Knowing" Recently, in my group coaching program, we discussed finding our purpose. We asked our clients, "What lights you up?" My coaching partner, Suzanne, and I led an exercise about recalling what excited about life before alcohol. For many of us with (AUD) we have to travel back to our childhood. For me, it was riding my bike, being outdoors, baking, writing, and singing, which I also loved. I used to sing in high school, and as an adult, I sang in the church choir. I loved it! Singing is one of the ways I feel closest to God. However, when we left our former church, I decided to take a break from singing with a hangover in the choir. Singing with a hangover is absolute worst! https://www.amyedwardscoaching.com/blog/april-1st-some-thoughts-about-renewal-and-recommitment-after-easter-ws5rn monthly 0.5 2024-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450726019-27K2R53SL612ZULPNM3R/IMG_2015_Original.jpg Blog - April 1st: Some Thoughts About Renewal and Recommitment After Easter - Make it stand out Serving Easter Sunday at Vale Church. https://www.amyedwardscoaching.com/blog/sobriety-success-how-i-achieved-4-years-alcohol-free-and-transformed-my-life-5z46n monthly 0.5 2024-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450726029-8MC1HD23ESCVAYRKT569/IMG_1365+2.jpeg Blog - Sobriety Success: How I Achieved 4 Years Alcohol-Free and Transformed My Life - Make it stand out 4 years Alcohol Free!

I don’t know why I was hanging on to this relic from my drinking days or haze. Maybe some hang on thoughts of “how can I drink less wine” were still hanging around the last go around.

How did it fly by so quickly? I have to admit; I've never been a fan of the end of July. As a kid, it meant saying goodbye to summer, suntans, and the freedom from set schedules as I prepared to go back to school. But this year, it carries a whole new significance as it marks the countdown to a major milestone: my daughter moving to her college dorm on August 23rd.

I never thought of exercise as self-care. My idea of self-care was a glass or two of wine. I felt that 20 minutes of release that I got was worth it. At first, that rush was worth it. But little did I know that those drinks were causing so much chaos internally. I mean, red wine is good for us, right? (The answer is no, but that is for another blog post!) I didn’t know that the human body has to eliminate alcohol immediately because ethanol is toxic. Seriously, our bodies are amazing! The liver goes into overtime, and the body slows digestion so that the liver can get the alcohol out of our body. https://www.amyedwardscoaching.com/blog/building-muscles-7n6dn monthly 0.5 2021-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450726206-EK1UP16GM76ZD7OZYJJ2/IMG_1251.jpg Blog - Building Muscles For most of my adult life, I have worked out. For the past two decades, pretty consistently. I use all of these weights when I'm working chest, shoulders, and triceps. Currently, I am using the 15# & 12# for the most part. I add 20# weights for chest presses and then drop down for the triceps to the 8# & 5# for the last reps at the end of the workout. My arms were shaking, but I kept going!

This November, I'm doing a workout calendar. It includes cardio, strength, and yoga workouts. When I do these workouts, I usually skip the yoga. But, today, I did Meditation Yoga. Just what I needed. I was feeling movement, feeling how my body feels in positions. I am so relaxed and focused right now. I told myself a story because I wasn't flexible; I thought I couldn't do yoga. This story came from somewhere in my past. Today, I mentally walked and worked on this story. I challenged it. Why do I think this? Is this thought true? As I made the moves, the instructor said to choose the best position for your body. Then, repeat the motions. He continues, your body is learning and getting more comfortable each time it repeats the moves.

Do you feel stuck in the cycle of guilt/shame & long for grace and growth? Do you think you might be drinking too much? But you’re not drinking any more than your family, friends, and colleagues. Are you a woman trying to balance working hard, volunteering, taking care of your teens and realizing you need a drink to help you get through all of it?

Do you promise yourself that you won’t have a drink tonight but find yourself in the liquor aisle purchasing a bottle of wine on your way home from work? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450736990-VAFVYZG2TSYCL1NZ0HF5/webAFMfreebie+%28Photo+Collage%29+%282%29.png Home - Sign up for my free Getting Sober Curious Guide!

What’s a life coach? A life coach is a wellness professional who works with their clients, helping them move forward in their lives by examining beliefs, habits, and emotions—providing them strategies and tactics to attain greater fulfillment in their lives. I want to take what I have learned and give back to other women by helping them examine their beliefs and habits around alcohol. My experience is that when you take a break from alcohol, you will see the most personal growth in your life. I discovered real freedom when I quit drinking, and I’m now my authentic self. I know what you are experiencing first hand, the self-doubt and the wondering why can’t I drink like everyone else? I am here to help you take a closer look at what you are experiencing. Let’s set up a discovery call and talk about your goals around alcohol. https://www.amyedwardscoaching.com/podcast daily 0.75 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450737873-FT8IQBACZM8F96RJ7HWS/Copy+of+Podcast+art+%28YouTube+Thumbnail%29+%28Instagram+Post%29+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450737882-JZT1P7JU7HC7O7HL3ET6/Podcast+art+%28YouTube+Thumbnail%29+%2824%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450737886-USZV4QH7B5U01S9QP85H/joyAFMfreebie+%28Instagram+Post%29.png https://www.amyedwardscoaching.com/home daily 1.0 2025-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450738781-8SP8DLJP9BBFC0CT22Y4/download__60_-removebg-preview.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450738785-ZT7UINMRWE5AB2ZICYQ8/download__60_-removebg-preview.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450738788-HDGDV9WE369Y6OEKQTCD/download__60_-removebg-preview.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450738793-3MDYR1LXFY0OH1JQYKR5/download__60_-removebg-preview.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450738796-F292OC2Z2C7YNHORBCLF/download__60_-removebg-preview.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450738767-Y5UAOBE3CNHFCGFK1WR6/4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450738770-1Y1V499L97RM7Z9PSYAD/AmyAroundTown-33.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450738802-T45QWGSWMGUS17KMGT4W/Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Colorful+Pop+Art+Teen+Magazine+Cover.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450738810-23VQO7B5EX1RH2RWEG4T/Newsletter+image+1+%282%29.jpeg https://www.amyedwardscoaching.com/mystory daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450739791-E4B6T7227HW4BGZZMRRL/Before+%26+After.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450739794-HRIHW2YJCGCNZOA04IX2/Matt+and+Amy+Edwards-16.jpg https://www.amyedwardscoaching.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cc6de16144c7533d213c61/1741450740650-NV5WFW9E8AIZEHLH89OX/Matt+and+Amy+Edwards-5.jpg
