About

Carrie A. Kukuda, RKC, National Board Certified Personal Trainer, and Life Coach.

I (aka The Someday Coach) have dedicated my life to helping others. I have been in the fitness/nutrition/health field for over 17 years and life coaching for over 10 years. I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up and here I am today. Before my career started, I was a high school swim coach for girl’s ages 11-17. Wow, that was interesting but it taught me a lot. Many of them suffered from body dysmorphic disorder. It broke my heart. They were so young and beautiful and didn’t even know it! Plus, too young to have issues like that, and probably will struggle with it all their lives. This gave me another reason (other my own passion to help others) to help others and make a difference. My own personal struggles are my eating. I love to exercise and I love to eat! Portion control, what is that? FYI – where did they teach us that! Anyway, when I was active and in school it didn’t affect me too much; but as I worked more and exercised a little less, it became a challenge. I got really down and I did the whole cycle of being down and eating more. You know the Self Sabotaging Cycle! I hope I’m not alone here. So, I decided to go to Weight Watchers to get on track. I am very driven by challenges and very sensitive about sharing with others my weight, so going each week to weigh in sounded like a great idea. Until I walked in there and everyone and I mean everyone looked at me funny! Hey, FYI we all have a place we want to be, Don’t judge. Well they judged. I felt so uncomfortable and couldn’t wait to get out of there. Yes, I never went back. At this point, I started reading everything and taking this workshop and that workshop and certifications and etc. It turned into my mission! My biggest trick became my clothes. The whole scale thing, would mess with my mind. I would weigh in first thing in the morning, at lunch, at dinner (sound familiar) and I would be all over the place. I became so frustrated, I decided I can’t do it anymore (hard – but the best decision I ever made). I used my clothes as my measuring point. When they got tight I knew I needed to give myself a swift kick in the butt, especially sense the rule was I couldn’t buy bigger sizes. It was NOT an option. If I gained weight I still had to wear the clothes tight or not. I wasn’t really one to like to draw attention to myself, so it wasn’t fun! But, it WORK!!!!! There is hope for each and every one of you out there; you just have to be ready to change. You CAN find what can WORK for you just like I did. I use many other tactics today to help me with my stress eating (yes, I am a stress eater – I can eat as much as my husband) and I can help you too. You heard it: My passion and mission is to help as many of other people live the life they were born to live, period!!! I hope my story gives you hope and maybe helps you get off the couch and do something about it. Nothing feels better than being comfortable in your own skin. Try to be kinder to yourself along the way. Give credit where credit is due and NEVER quit! If you live in Tampa or its surrounding areas give me a call and we’ll see how you can change your life!
